Corsair Gaming, Inc. allows returns within 60 days of purchase for most Corsair and Elgato products, with a 30 percent restocking fee applied to refunds. Returns are free to ship, and refunds go back to your original payment method.

How returns work

You can return items in store at the Valley Fair Store location or by mail. For mail returns, you initiate the return through the online portal at https://retailstore.aftership.com/returns and receive a pre-paid return label to ship your items back to the warehouse. In-store returns require your original store receipt or gift receipt.

Exclusions and restrictions

Corsair does not accept returns on opened software, redeemed digital downloads, items marked as final sale or clearance, or gift cards. Opened hardware is ineligible for exchange. Products from other brands, including SCUF, Fanatec, ORIGIN PC, and DROP, have a shorter 30-day return window instead of 60 days. Corsair Custom Lab products are subject to the 30 percent restocking fee on refunds.

Refunds

Refunds are issued to your original method of payment and take 2 to 4 business days to process after your return is received. Items must be returned in original condition with original packaging.
