Corsair has announced the worldwide launch of the TC80 gaming chair, a new addition to its lineup aimed at gamers, creators and everyday users. The chair focuses on long‑term comfort and durability, backed by more than 30 individual safety and reliability tests.

Corsair’s testing regime for the TC80 includes drop‑load, backrest load, seating durability, tilt‑mechanism and armrest‑cycle tests, alongside stability checks and swivel endurance testing. The chair meets both BIFMA X5.1 and EN 1335 standards, reflecting its focus on structural strength and ergonomic support.

The TC80 features a wide flat seat with plush padding, breathable fabric upholstery with leatherette accents, and a detachable neck pillow. Self‑levelling armrests adjust automatically as users recline, while a steel 5‑star base, 50mm casters and a steel Class 4 gas lift provide a stable foundation. Height adjustment spans 100mm, and the chair offers a smooth recline from 90° to 115° with continuous angle locking rather than preset positions. Recline tension can also be tuned to personal preference, and Corsair says assembly is designed to be quick and straightforward.

The TC80 launches in a single black fabric‑and‑leatherette finish and joins Corsair’s existing lineup alongside the TC100 RELAXED and TC500 LUXE. Pricing starts at £169.99/€179.90/$199.99, with regional variations listed on Corsair’s website. The chair is backed by a two‑year warranty.

KitGuru Says: The TC80 lands as Corsair’s most affordable gaming chair, offering a simpler feature set but a solid build and competitive pricing.

Razer has introduced the Clio X, a wireless speaker head cushion designed to bring rear‑channel audio to most high‑back gaming and office chairs. First shown at PAX West 2026, the accessory combines THX Spatial Audio with Razer HyperSpeed 2.4GHz wireless to deliver headset‑free virtual surround sound.

The Clio X uses a near‑field speaker design with two 38mm full‑range drivers and 55mm passive radiators, angled toward the user to provide focused rear audio. THX Spatial Audio supports acoustic‑widening modes to create a broader, more natural soundstage for games, films and music, offering additional depth without requiring anything worn on the head.

Razer’s HyperSpeed 2.4GHz wireless handles low‑latency audio transmission, freeing the cushion from PC or console cabling. The Clio X can be powered by any USB‑C PD 2.0 power bank (sold separately), with Razer quoting up to 40 hours of use depending on capacity and usage. A built‑in USB‑C cable is stored inside a rear pouch for those who prefer a wired setup or need direct power. The cushion itself uses plush foam and an adjustable 30–65cm nylon strap, allowing it to fit most high‑back gaming and office chairs.

The Clio X can operate as a standalone speaker for headset‑free gaming, or it can be paired in Surround Mode with a soundbar or 2.0/2.1 speaker system to act as dedicated rear channels.

The Razer Clio X is available now for £109.99 / $109.99 / €109.99.

KitGuru Says: If you have a soundbar already, this could be a handy addition to create a true surround sound effect, rather than relying purely on virtual surround technology.

Fractal has launched several new additions across its hardware and chair lines, introducing the Summit ATX case, Radius all-in-one CPU cooler, and Refine 2 gaming chair.

Fractal has once again followed the Scandinavian design principles to create new products. The Summit ATX case combines curved, multi-layered oak or walnut panels with solid wood feet. Underneath its wood-accented exterior, the chassis ships with three Momentum 14 fans and supports graphics cards up to 425mm, as well as dual 360mm radiators. Additional features include reverse-connector motherboard support and tool-less panel access. Pricing for the Summit case starts at $169.99 and rises to $199.99 for the Ambience Blackout TG Light Tint edition.

Alongside the new case, Fractal revealed the Refine 2 gaming chair. Updated ergonomics bring a flexible dual-pad lumbar support system, lockable 4D armrests, and revised cushioning across Fabric, Mesh, and Hybrid options in Dark and Light finishes for $639.99.

Last, there's the Radius AIO cooler range, available in 240mm and 360mm sizes. Featuring pre-installed Dynamic 3 fans and tube-integrated cabling, RGB models connect directly to Fractal's web-based Adjust Pro platform for control without local software installations. Standard models cost $79.99 for the 240mm and $89.99 for the 360mm, while RGB versions run $89.99 and $99.99, respectively.

When building a high-performance PC setup, most users focus on the components they can measure: CPU performance, GPU power, monitor refresh rates, keyboard response, and desk aesthetics. But as modern computing habits evolve, one overlooked part of the setup has become increasingly important—the chair.  Today’s PC users are no longer spending just a few hours at their desks. A powerful PC can deliver hundreds of frames per second, but your body still has to handle the hours spent in front of the screen. Many users notice the same problems after long sessions: lower-back pressure, shoulder tension, and constantly adjusting their […]

Adata's gaming brand, XPG, has announced the global launch of the Nimbus and Nimbus Plus, two distinct chair models that offer a choice between an adjustable mesh and a more traditional foam seat option.

The Nimbus Plus serves as the flagship model, using high-elasticity, breathable mesh across the entire frame. This chair features a dual-axis headrest, adaptive dynamic lumbar support, and 4D adjustable armrests. Users can slide the seat cushion forward or backward to adjust depth, and the backrest reclines up to 130° with four locking positions.

For those seeking a more streamlined design, the standard Nimbus adopts a unibody backrest that integrates the headrest and lumbar support. XPG builds this variant with an 8cm-thick high-density foam seat cushion supported by curved internal plywood. It offers a height-adjustable backrest, 2D armrests, and three locking positions for its 130° recline.

Both chairs are certified to BIFMA and TÜV international standards. They feature a Class-4 gas lift, a 350mm metal five-star base, and 75mm polyurethane silent casters. XPG confirms both models support a maximum weight of 120kg.

KitGuru says: If the headrest is a necessity for you, the Nimbus Plus is the obvious choice. However, those who prefer foam seating will likely opt for the standard Nimbus.

Razer has announced the Wuthering Waves Collection, an official lineup of gaming peripherals created in collaboration with Kuro Games. Inspired by the game's newest Resonator, Denia, the collection features a gaming chair, a wireless keyboard, a wireless mouse, and an oversized mouse mat, all designed with custom-themed visuals.

The Razer Iskur V2 X Wuthering Waves Edition is the ergonomic gaming chair in the lineup, providing targeted lumbar support. For peripherals, Razer is releasing the BlackWidow V4 TKL HyperSpeed Wuthering Waves Edition, a wireless tenkeyless keyboard featuring hot-swappable switches and low-latency connectivity.

Tracking hardware includes the Razer Viper V3 Pro SE Wuthering Waves Edition wireless gaming mouse, which can be paired with the Razer Gigantus V2 XXL Wuthering Waves Edition mouse mat. The oversized mat uses a textured cloth surface designed for stability during wide tracking movements.

Razer confirmed that purchasing any item from the peripheral collection will unlock exclusive digital items. Players can claim a limited-edition Wuthering Waves sigil to showcase on their in-game profiles. Additional rewards scale based on the specific product purchased, including varying amounts of Astrite, Shell Credits, Advanced Energy Cores, and Advanced Resonance Potions.

All peripherals are now available for pre-order. The Iskur V2 chair costs $399.99, and the BlackWidow V4 TKL keyboard costs £199.99/$199.99/€209.99. As for the Vioer V3 Pro SE and the Gigantus V2 XXL, these cost £119.99/$119.99/€125.99 and £49.99/$49.99/€59.99

KitGuru says: If you are a Wuthering Waves superfan, then this collection is for you. You are looking at a pretty big bill to obtain all of the products though.

Razer has announced the Soma Chroma, marking the brand's first official entry into the RGB-enabled gaming chair market. Designed as a cornerstone for immersive setups, the chair combines real-time reactive illumination with flexible power options and ergonomic body support.

The defining feature of the Soma Chroma is its integration with the Razer Chroma RGB ecosystem. Built to act as an active extension of a user's desktop environment, the integrated lighting zone responds dynamically to on-screen actions across more than 300 supported game titles. Users can fully customise lighting profiles via Razer Synapse, which provides access to 16.8 million colours and 10 preset lighting effects.

To maintain a clean station free of cable clutter, the chair draws power via a single USB-C connection. This allows users to run the lighting array off a standard power bank, preventing the seat from being physically tethered to a wall outlet or desk. An integrated hardware control panel handles adjustments on the fly, allowing users to cycle through lighting effects, adjust brightness, toggle between PC inputs via a 2.4G wireless USB dongle, and connect to mobile devices running the Razer Furniture App.

The chair features a built-in ergonomic lumbar arch to promote a neutral sitting posture, along with a foam seat cushion designed to distribute pressure. Underneath the upholstery, the assembly utilises a reinforced steel frame paired with a durable 5-star steel wheelbase. Moreover, the backrest has a reclining mechanism of up to 155°. The Soma Chroma is now available for £499.99/$499.99/€529.99.

KitGuru says: While this does look cool, I would worry about anyone using a reflective monitor. Those lights will be bouncing right off the surface of any QD-OLED.

In our latest Computex video, we check out a huge range of new hardware coming from Cougar, from new gaming sit/stand desk options, to new AIOs, cases and peripherals.

Watch via YouTube below:

Cougar's chassis range expands with the NU 700 full‑tower and NU 500 mid‑tower, both supporting E‑ATX, SSI‑EEB and CEB motherboards alongside dual‑GPU layouts. The NU 700 accommodates two PSUs and up to dual 360mm or a single 420mm radiator, while the NU 500 supports a front‑mounted 360mm unit. As you may expect, both of these are positioned towards the workstation market, rather than for gamers.

Cougar is also introducing the Duoair series, which shifts the PSU to the front to create a vertical intake path for airflow. The CFV220 goes in a different direction, adding a Central Flow Vent chamber, triple‑glass side panels and compatibility with reverse‑connector motherboards, making it ideal for a showcase gaming build.

In cooling, Cougar unveiled the LQX Pro 360 and LQX Elite 360 AIOs, both using VRX PWM fans. The Pro model integrates a 3.95‑inch 720×720 IPS display and a VRM fan, while the Elite version replaces the screen with a frosted ARGB panel. Air‑cooling options include the FRZ 612 dual‑tower and FRZ 412 ARGB single‑tower coolers, each with a digital temperature display, plus the display‑free FRZ 412 Elite ARGB.

Cougar’s PSU lineup now scales up to 3200W with the WS 3200, 2400, 2000 and 1600 models, all ATX 3.1 and PCIe 5.1 compliant with up to four 12V‑2×6 connectors. The Polar V2 series introduces a compact 150mm frame, while the PV series offers 80 Plus Platinum efficiency.

The furniture range includes the Arker chair with a steel frame and extendable footrest, the Speeder Elite mesh chair with full ergonomic adjustments, and the suede‑style Fusion EX. Cougar is also showing the E‑Ares 160 sit‑stand desk and the fixed‑height Ares 160, both using a carbon‑fibre laminate surface.

Finally for peripherals, Cougar has the new 58g Revenger Pro 8K mouse with a 30,000 DPI Pixart sensor and the Phaze 8K wired 98% keyboard, which features an 8K polling rate, 4K scan rate and magnetic switches.

Modern work and entertainment habits have changed dramatically in recent years. Many people now spend long hours sitting, whether working from home, attending virtual meetings, or enjoying extended gaming sessions.  While technology has made daily tasks more convenient, it has also introduced a growing problem: prolonged sitting that often leads to discomfort, fatigue, and posture-related issues. Lower back pain, shoulder tension, and pressure on the hips are common complaints among people who sit for long periods. Traditional office chairs often fail to solve these problems because they rely on manual adjustments that users rarely change throughout the day.  As the […]
