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.

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.

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.

The LiberNovo Omni Pro enters the premium office chair market with an eye-watering £849 starting price and a feature set that reads like a tech product – with it's motorized backrest, built-in stretch mode, active seat ventilation, and a USB-C battery bank to power it all. But do these electronic additions actually improve the daily seating experience, or are they just expensive gimmicks masking a standard ergonomic chair?

Specifications:

• Upholstery: Glacier White Danish Gabriel Atlantic Fabric.
• Electronic Features: Motorized backrest (With Omni Stretch mode), Active cooling fan.
• Power Supply: Removable 32.4Wh USB-C Power Bank.
• Accessories: Optional £94 matching footrest.
• Warranty: 5 years on chair components / 2 years on electronics.

Closing Thoughts

The LiberNovo Omni Pro is a chair that genuinely expands what an office chair can be. By integrating motorised adjustments, you can perfectly dial in your posture with the push of a button, whether you are leaning forward for competitive gaming or fully reclined with the optional footrest to watch an F1 race. The active cooling and Omni Stretch mode lean far more toward “genuinely useful” than “gimmick,” and the overall comfort provided by the soft, breathable fabric and well-designed frame is exceptional. I particularly loved that the armrests move dynamically with the backrest recline, a feature more brands need to adopt.

However, at £943 for the full setup (including the footrest), the warranty situation is a tough pill to swallow. While the physical chair gets 5 years of coverage, the electronics—the very components that make this chair special—are only covered for 2 years.

Despite this, if you have the budget, this is one of the most versatile and comfortable chairs I have ever tested.

You can buy the LiberNovo Omni Pro starting at £849 here:

1. US: https://bit.ly/4uZqPqm
2. UK: https://bit.ly/4eCqHHs

Pros:

• Massive versatility with highly adjustable, comfortable seating positions.
• Omni Stretch mode and motorized backrest are genuinely useful features.
• Armrests move perfectly in tandem with the backrest recline.
• Battery life from the removable USB-C power bank (lasted a full month and counting).

Cons:

• Disappointing 2-year warranty on the electronics given the premium price.
• Out-of-the-box height adjustment bug required manual disassembly to fix.
• Battery bank charges very slowly (under 10W).

KitGuru says: The LiberNovo Omni Pro is an incredibly comfortable and versatile chair with features that actually enhance the user experience, but it is a little held back by only 2 years of electronics warranty.

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.
