Price and Availability
The TC500 Luxe chair is available now from Corsair and retails for $499.99.
Its available in three colors, Frost, Shadow, and Sherwood.
It doesnt care what youre doing at the desk, its aim is just to be comfortable and supportive.
After weeks of testing, I can confirm it hit those marks.
The foam cushioning is mostly firm with a touch of squish to it.
Its seat and back are wider than I needed and never made me feel cramped.
The adjustments are manual and relatively minimal but still comprehensive.
I didnt realize I wanted a magnetic headrest pillow, but Ive loved having one on this chair.
I also never felt the urge to remove it.
I liked leaning back and feeling its soft and cushioned material.
Speaking of material, a soft, suede-like fabric graces the entire chair, save for the arms.
It adds to the comfort and is mostly nice.

The caveat is that the material can be warm after several hours.
It will feel nice during the colder months, but summer could be a sweaty problem.
The biggest of which is that, unlike a holey, mesh chair, this one doesnt breathe well.

People who run hot may not be crazy about the potential heat build-up.
It looks dirty in person.
Up close, you might easily see the texture and the slightly distressed look the company was going for.

Had I realized this ahead of time, I might have chosen the black Shadow color.
I noticed all the tiny flaws with the chair as I was trying to put it together without instructions.
A word of warning: there are no physical instructions in the box.

Should You Buy Corsair TC500 Luxe Gaming Chair?
The most notable concern might be that its fabric gets warm.
Especially if its going to make you sweat for part of the year.
