Update: 14 months in. The seat frame has broken where the reclining mechanism mounts. Corsair will replace the chair under warranty - provide I box and return the ENTIRE chair $75-100 for me to return the chair. They are unwilling to replace just the seat because "they don't have a part number for the piece". Forget that. It appears I'll be welding the frame myself.

I've had this chair for eight months. It replaced a 15 year old generic high back office char. This chair is used about 10 hours a day. This chair has taken inspiration from racing seats. Racing seats aren't wide puffy pillows. They are firm. They hold you in place. They are not adjustable. This chair comes close, but it is not a race seat, which is a good thing. Almost everything on this chair is adjustable, sans lumbar. It is heavy duty. I'm not a small guy - my lats are wider than my waist so it is snug across my back, but it is NOT uncomfortable. The armrests are a little on the hard side - and wobbly, but so are the ones on my $1200 Herman Miller Aeron. The armrest shape could be more organic shaped rather than boxy to better match the rest of the chair.
The crowned rubber wheels on the bearing swivel casters enable the chair to effortlessly glide on smooth floors but tend to dig in on pile carpet. It is a heavy chair and maneuvering on pile carpet can be a chore. People loosing bearings seem to have chairs on carpet.
The chair's wheels lost a few caster bearings. Corsair replaced all five casters two days after notification. The new casters have a much thicker top bearing race. After four months of running this chair on heavy carpet, no loose bearings! Some are pulling the kid card and claim the bearings are a "small children and pets" choke/safety hazard. This is uber extreme. These bearings are maybe 5/32". I can tell you, as a kid I swallowed a 1/4 ball bearing. Easy down, easy out.
