Corsair TC500 Luxe

Based on 23 comments across 3 communities
TL;DR
Most owners find the TC500 Luxe genuinely comfortable, with standout lumbar support, a roomy base, and solid build that many say beats chairs they owned before, including Secretlab. The recurring catches are a firm seat that some feel is too hard, and armrests that don't lock so they shift when leaned on or sit too far apart. A fair number also feel it's priced higher than the comfort warrants.

70% of 23 verified owners recommend the Corsair TC500 Luxe.

tanto a EVO Titan Nanogen como a corsair fazem o seu papel para quem joga ou está sentado 3h a 4h

Had mine for about a month. Can't recommend it enough. Soooo comfortable and the lumbar support is so nice. Only complaint I could give is the armrests are quite far apart

i like the rocking the chair does, thats why i took the tc500 initially, but other that that, it doesn't feel super comfortable. But i have to return it

The head rest pillow lands right on my neck being 6ft if i sit straight up. I don't really use it tbh. The rest of the chair would be plenty wide for you

Overall the chair has given me some great support! I will say that it is a much firmer chair than a good chunk of other chairs I've tried - I personally love this

I have the Luxe and it’s hard AF, probably worth about $200 max. The fabric also felt too warmer after gaming for an hour. If you’re gaming on m/kb the arm rests are too far forward and your elbows aren’t supported.

Oh there are definitely better chairs for the price, but it is significantly more comfortable than any of my previous amazon chairs. I also prefer the aesthetic to any of the webbed ergo chairs on the market.

Has all the features you need (built in 4-way lumbar, magnetic headrest, quality built) for a lot cheaper. Super comfy. The wheels suck but that's a $20 fix

I think for $500, there are better chairs out there that are worth considering.

I have a Corsair TC500 that was given to me as a used chair, and it had seen some use before I acquired it. I am 5'9 and 230 lbs, so not a skinny guy, and I fit easily on the chair, but the padding has already broken down quite a bit and I can feel the wood for the seat base for it.

Reddit▲ recommend

I will say this one is much more comfortable. It has the adjusting lumbar support and much wider base of the chair

I have this chair. Armrests sit too wide for me :(

Reddit▲ recommend

it's very comfortable for the back, the seat is wide but on the stiffer side. The armrests are too far apart

Reddit▲ recommend

I was really impressed with the build quality and it's way more comfortable than my chair (secret lab)

Currently sitting on a Corsair TC500 Luxe and I can't recommend it enough. Underrated IMO.

I can recommend the Corsair TC500. It’s incredibly comfortable and also beautiful

TC500 chair is one of my favorite Corsair products, but pricey.

me compré una y es una delicia

i’m super happy with mine

If the arm rests had a movement lock, it would be a 10/10 chair for me. I like to hoist myself up via the arm rests and they move on me everytime lol. I love mine and people ask about it all the time.

Reddit▲ recommend

I am still using this one! Still comfy but my only advice is to buy some sort of grease for the leaning mechanism as it has started to creak

Reddit▲ recommend

I love my TC500 LUXE!! What wheels are you using? That’s my only big complaint I have on mine. They’re not bad and I’ve used it with the stock wheels for coming up on a year, but I’m looking at replacing them with rollerblade-style wheels.

The TC500 Luxe is a joy to sit in and has been much better than the last three desk chairs I've used.

I've had both chairs for a year now, and I have to say that the lumbar support is significantly better in the Corsair than in the SecretLab. Regarding the seat, I'd say that in the SecretLab, you feel like you're sitting on a wooden board, while the Nanogen version is perhaps 10% softer than the regular one I had. Unfortunately, I fell for the SecretLab mark
