Army West Point Esport Level Up with Corsair for Business - Case Study

Corsair for Business delivers performance-driven hardware solutions tailored to the evolving needs of advanced computing environments—including Esports, media production, and educational innovation.

At a competitive collegiate Esports program, Corsair’s professional-grade peripherals and ergonomic seating solutions were integrated to support both gameplay and content creation workflows. These upgrades contribute to a versatile environment that fosters communication, collaboration, and creative expression.

Efforts to create environments that align with the expectations of student participants have had a positive impact on the overall experience. These gaming spaces also function as secondary learning environments, helping individuals develop a stronger connection to learning and a deeper understanding of how technology can support educational growth. Access to industry-standard equipment for seating, streaming, and production further enhances engagement by promoting motivation, persistence, and overall quality.

A state-of-the-art competition facility—equipped with five competition PCs, along with dedicated broadcasting and live-streaming rigs—is in place to support a collegiate Esports environment.

During the design and planning process, key hardware specifications were prioritized to meet the demands of frequent use and long-duration sessions:

• Ergonomics & Comfort
• Reliability & Durability

Ergonomics and comfort were essential considerations due to extended periods of seated gameplay and production. Understanding the impact of proper posture during these sessions informed the selection of appropriate hardware. In contrast to the inconsistent quality of repurposed equipment often found in collegiate spaces, purpose-built seating like the Corsair TC500 Luxe and TC200 models were selected to help support long-term comfort at both gameplay and streaming stations.

Equally important was the durability of the hardware under continuous use. The Corsair seating solutions have demonstrated their ability to endure the high volume and intensity of daily activity, while also contributing to the visual cohesion of the space. The TC200, in particular, has supported consistent and reliable performance during extensive live productions and competitive broadcasts.

The Corsair TC500 Luxe and TC200 seating provide ergonomic support and comfort during extended practice and streaming sessions. Tools like the Elgato Wave:3 microphone and Stream Deck contribute to a consistent and user-friendly production setup.

The hardware integrates smoothly into the existing environment, supporting efficient configuration, reliable performance, and seamless daily operation. The durability and cohesiveness of the equipment enable sustained use across both competitive gameplay and media production activities.

The introduction of Corsair hardware has supported the expansion of the Esports program’s capabilities, particularly in content creation and live-streaming. These tools have enabled broader content sharing and increased the visibility of the program.

West Point continues to assess ways to structure and support the growth of its Esports program as it evolves to meet current and future needs.

West Point is exploring additional technologies, including an Elgato Prompter for live casting, to enhance the professional quality of its streams and support continued innovation in media production.

Enhancements to lighting, camera systems, and control infrastructure are also being considered to improve efficiency and meet growing production demands.

The integration of durable, high-quality hardware from Corsair for Business has supported the development of a dynamic Esports environment designed for both competitive play and media production. These solutions contribute to the functionality and professionalism of the space, enabling a range of activities from live broadcasting to daily operations.
