This is a good alternative if its out of warranty however Corsair should be taking responsibility for this, we shouldn’t have to fix a poor design fault ourselves. Im guessing nearly every T1 Race manufactured must be suffering this issue with the gas lift.
I was given a whole new chair as I was having issues with the locking mechanism with the lift as well as the poor lift height and the problems with the height of the gas lift are exactly the same with the replacement. What are the odds of that happening?
Contacted support again and its more of an agonising wait for a response.
