Design and Features

The key feature of the T2 Road Warrior gaming chair is its height (88 cm). This chair model is designed for taller players, so those dimensions should not surprise the average layman. We found though, that when we were sitting in the chair, the height did not make sitting in the chair uncomfortable, so the height factor was negligible to us.

Inside, a steel frame with a dense filler is used, and the outer design is set by PU leather. The manufacturer implemented an aggressive style for the T2 Road Warrior, varying two colors and using areas with perforated honeycombs.

The manufacturer’s logo is present both on the front and on the back of the T2 Road Warrior chair. 

The shape of the back of the T2 Road Warrior seat is a bit like car buckets, which are often found in gaming chairs. The lateral support is pronounced, most widely falling on the lower half of the back. The back width of the T2 Road Warrior is 50 cm.

Fastenings to the seat frame are implemented in the form of four metal bolts.

Corsair T2 Road Warrior gaming chair comes pre-assembled with 4D armrests and backrest attachments. The space for seating varies from 51.5 cm at its narrowest to 60 cm at its widest.

Like the backrest, the seat has a metal frame, but a denser filler is used to increase comfort to the user. Upholstery material is the same – PU leather. Almost the entire work area is perforated to prevent sweat marks and stains. The edge of the seat has a cushion slightly increased in height, which improves lumbar support and sitting comfort.

The T2 Road Warrior’s lateral support is most pronounced at the front of the seat. Immediately behind it are the 4D armrests, the surface of which has a stylish diamond pattern.

The functionality implemented here allows you to change the height, reach, and position of the armrests according to the width of the arm span.

In order for the user to be able to adjust the position of the armrests for themselves, there is a button with a locking mechanism on each angle degree setting. The back of the seat itself is attached to the metal frame with four bolts.

The armrests on the Corsair T2 Road Warrior gaming chair are factory-attached to the seat frame, making the final assembly process easier for the user.

There is no doubt about the reliability of the armrests of the T2 Road Warrior since it uses a thick sheet of metal and three attachment points with bolts.

The Corsair T2 Road Warrior rocker also comes pre-assembled. The design is made entirely of metal, and only the paws of the controls and the swing adjustment are plastic.

Mounting to the back of the manufacturer’s seat using four holes on the carrier frame of the rocking mechanism. Each of the two control tabs has a sticker informing the user about the functionality.

Specified by the manufacturer, the swing angle of the Corsair T2 Road Warrior gaming chair is small and ranges from 0-17°. To adjust the swing angle, turn the knob clockwise or counterclockwise.

The T2 Road Warrior crosspiece is made of metal and painted black on the front. The shape of the cross is a classic five-pointed star.

The T2 Road Warrior gaming chair comes with a Class 4 gas lift for a secure fit. It allows you to easily adjust the height of the chair, enabling a travel range of 85 mm. The Corsair T2 Road Warrior gaming chair is equipped with a plastic casing, which is put on after installing the gas lift on the crosspiece.

The seat back mounts also received their casings. Two plastic pads are attached with a single screw and a snap-in retainer.

The smooth movement of the T2 Road Warrior gaming chair is designed to provide five wheels.

Due to the use of a ball bearing mechanism and rubber-coated rollers, the movement of the chair promises to be easy and leaves no marks on the floor.

To assemble the T2 Road Warrior chair, the manufacturer provided a set of bolts, washers, and plugs, as well as an L-shaped wrench. The user manual is designed to facilitate the assembly process and make it more understandable.

And additional comfort during games is provided by pillows for the waist and head. On the Corsair T2 Road Warrior, the pillows are made of soft filler with soft-touch velvet upholstery. To install and fix the pillows, belts with plastic clips are used.

Assembly view

The T2 Road Warrior gaming chair can be described as stylish and cute. This chair differs from the strict business executive chairs by its aggressive design and the presence of blue upholstery. The chair shape largely shapes the playful character of the T2 Road Warrior.

Usage impressions

Assuming the role of a gaming chair, the T2 Road Warrior model confirms this from the first minutes of operation. The shape and ergonomics are reminiscent of a racing car seat, once in which you begin to focus and concentrate on the game process. There is no special softness that is inherent in cheap gaming chairs in the T2 Road Warrior, but a certain balance between hardness and softness is still observed. Adding comfort to the T2 Road Warrior are the included lumbar and head pillows.

The seat back of the T2 Road Warrior has a solid headroom to make even a tall player feel comfortable here. The degree of adjustment of the angle of the backrest is quite large, so everyone adjusts it individually.

Between games, the T2 Road Warrior is the perfect place to unwind. You can watch movies in it and take a nap without any problems, thanks to the unfolding of the backrest in an almost horizontal position.

The maximum backrest angle of the T2 Road Warrior is 170°. And even in this position, the chair does not strive to tip back. It emphasizes how competently and thoughtfully the manufacturer provided for the structure in the design. The swing mechanism works without extraneous sounds, which allows you to maintain silence and not disturb others.

Another interesting feature in the design of the T2 Road Warrior chair is 4D armrests. Due to the four degrees of freedom, they can be most accurately and conveniently adjusted for themselves. The height of the armrests is adjustable in a very large range.

The forward reach of the support platform is small but sufficient for individual comfort. For a couple of centimeters, the support platform also adjusts in width. The T2 Road Warrior’s armrest locking mechanisms make sure you don’t accidentally mess up your settings.

Also, in the operation of the T2 Road Warrior, there is one moment that can only be described in words. Due to the thoughtful perforation of the upholstery and well-chosen filler materials, the T2 Road Warrior chair breathes perfectly. It prevents excess sweat stains from adrenaline-rushed excitement, especially during the most nervous moments when the Chicken Dinner is so close.
