This is the leatherette version of Corsair's TC100 Relaxed, a racing-styled chair with the bolsters deliberately softened. The seat measures 375 mm between the sides, giving you room to lean, shift and settle in rather than being clamped in place. A plush leatherette cover, two included pillows and a 150 kg rating make it a comfortable option for gamers who want an easy-wipe finish and a less restrictive seat.

In its favour
- Relaxed bolstering and a 375 mm seat width leave more room than a tight racing bucket.
- A steel class 4 gas lift gives 100 mm of seat height travel.

Good to know
- The listing does not say how the armrests adjust beyond calling them adjustable.
- Leatherette can feel warmer than fabric in a heated room.
Our take
Why choose the leatherette cover
Plush leatherette is easy to wipe after a spill, which makes it practical in a room where snacks and drinks sit near the keyboard. The trade-off is warmth: in a heated bedroom or summer heatwave it will feel warmer against bare arms than fabric. If that worries you, Corsair also sells this chair in a fabric cover.
Shape, pillows and seat height
Corsair's Relaxed series is all about wider seating and plush contact points, giving the freedom to lean or recline. A high-density foam lumbar pillow is adjustable and can be moved to suit your back, while a memory foam neck pillow attaches to the top of the backrest and can be removed.
A steel class 4 gas lift gives 100 mm of height travel. Amazon lists a seat height of 53 cm and a seat depth of 50 cm.
Arms, recline and warranty
The listing calls the armrests adjustable without saying in which directions, so do not assume more than height movement. Neither the bullets nor the specification table give a recline range in degrees for this leatherette version. The 150 kg rating is notably higher than the 120 kg quoted for the fabric sibling, and Corsair includes a 2-year manufacturer warranty. The chair weighs about 18 kg.
Budget gaming alternatives
Corsair's T3 Rush keeps tighter bolsters but adds 4D arms and a steel frame at the same 150 kg rating. The Trust GXT 714 Ruya offers 3D arms and a fabric centre with PU sides. The Homracer gaming chair goes further on recline and load, with a footrest, though its arms are linked to the seat rather than adjustable.
Verdict
Pick the TC100 Relaxed leatherette if you want a roomy seat with an easy-clean cover and a solid weight rating. If arm adjustment matters, the Corsair T3 Rush is the better tool for desk use, and those who mainly want to lie back with their feet up will get more from the Homracer gaming chair.
