If you have been holding off on upgrading your gaming setup, Corsair is currently bypassing the usual retail middlemen with a direct promotion that might beat the upcoming wave of summer sales. The company is offering a 40% discount on its gaming chair lineup, including two of our top-rated recommendations, provided you use the correct promo code at checkout.
- Promo Codes: EE-DIY40 or NA-DIY40
- Discount: 40% off gaming chairs
- Deal Source: Official Corsair website
- Featured Models: Corsair TC500 Luxe and TC100 Relaxed
The Corsair TC500 Luxe at its Lowest Price
The standout deal in this promotion is the Corsair TC500 Luxe. Currently priced at $329—down from its usual $549—this is the most affordable price we have tracked for the chair to date. The discount applies to all four colorways, including the newly released lilac fabric upholstery.
In terms of feel, the TC500 Luxe leans into a more relaxed, sofa-like experience rather than a rigid racing-style bucket seat. It features a wide seat base that allows for various sitting positions, including sitting cross-legged. Adjustability is a major highlight, with customizable lumbar support, a magnetic head pillow, and adjustable armrests. However, be aware that the armrests are set quite wide apart; while it doesn't ruin the experience, it is a notable ergonomic caveat for those who prefer a tighter setup.
Budget-Friendly Options: The TC100 Relaxed
For those looking for a starter chair, the Corsair TC100 Relaxed is also seeing a significant price drop. You can currently pick it up for $161, a notable decrease from its $269.99 list price. While the fabric versions have already sold out, the leatherette models remain available.
The TC100 Relaxed has long been a staple on our best-of lists for its durability and comfort during long gaming sessions. It is a more entry-level option, meaning it utilizes strap-on lumbar and head pillows rather than the integrated systems found on the TC500, and it offers less granular control over the armrests. Even so, for the price, it remains a reliable pick for a home desk setup.
Should You Wait for Prime Day?
While major retailers like Newegg, Best Buy, and Walmart are already launching their own competing sales, these Corsair-direct deals are worth considering now. Purchasing directly from the manufacturer avoids the complications of third-party retail, and unless you have free shipping tied to a specific Prime membership tier, it is unlikely that other platforms will significantly undercut these prices during the upcoming summer sales. If you find a chair you like, jumping on these codes now is likely the safest bet to secure the discount.
