I am filing this complaint against Razer *** for violating consumer protection laws and refusing to resolve a recurring defect in their Razer Viper 8KHz mouse, despite three failed replacements and explicit guarantees under warranty.Original purchase: Made around August 2023 in ******* - I unfortunately no longer have the precise info.Subsequent replacements: October 2023 (in-store exchange), June 2024 (US RMA), February 2025 (pending fourth RMA).Business Commitment:Razers warranty promises a fully functional product and guarantees replacements/repairs for defects. Support agents explicitly assured me replacements would be free of defects. They also promised a service called White Glove treatment, in which they would have the mouse tested carefully. Even after that, my unit was still defective.Nature of Dispute:The Razer Viper 8KHz has a known, widespread defect causing its scroll wheel to malfunction (scrolls backward, skips inputs).Razer has replaced my mouse three times with the same defective model, violating the ** Directive 1999/44/EC and also California Song-******* Act (Razer HQ)Razer refuses to provide a refund, upgrade, or different model, forcing me into a cycle of defective replacements.Resolution Attempts:Three RMAs (case numbers: 250213-000535, 250212-000112, 231207-001978).Multiple emails with support requesting escalation, refunds, or alternate models.Razers final response will be attached.Advertising ***************************** markets the Viper 8KHz as a premium, flawless gaming mouse but fails to disclose this defect. Search results on ****** for Razer Viper prominently show these issues.Requested Resolution:A full refund of $80 under **/California consumer laws.OR a replacement with a different, non-defective model (e.g., Razer Viper V3 Pro).AND Compensation for time spent resolving this issue and costs incurred from purchasing temporary replacements.Business Response

Razer support needs more time to investigate the customer's concern. Given the circumstances, Razer would need to validate the customer's proof of purchase. For any Limited Warranty claim, a valid Proof of Purchase is required as indicated in our limited warranty policy. It would be very helpful if the customer in able to provide a vaild proof of purchase.Initial Complaint

I purchased a laptop from Razer back in July of 2023. Around December 20th *************************************************************************************************************** to be repaired. They replaced the motherboard and the device did indeed now turn on and work but the device somehow got damaged at the repair facility because the frame was bent when I received it. The box had no damage and I did not send it in with damage so it had to have happened there. I opened another claim but was told that the device already had the motherboard replaced and they sent it back without fixing the damage. I can't seem to be able to get someone real to talk to me, I just get replies from AI bots through email and when I call I get people who say they can submit a request they'll hear back on in about a week. I just either want them to fix the damage they caused or refund me. I can send pictures of the damage and the box I received it in if needed.Business Response

Razer support has investigated the customer's concern. Unfortunately, the customer's unit was purchased from an unauthorized reseller. Products purchased from non authorized dealers are often used, counterfeit, re-boxed,defective or gray market goods. These units may also not be designed and packaged to work in your country and may not meet all legal and safety requirements. Razer will not be able to honor a Limited Warranty on Products not purchased from an authorized dealer or ones that are outside the Limited Warranty period. If you have purchased the Product from an unauthorized dealer,all support and Limited Warranty issues should be directed to that dealer. Razer has these policies in place to protect both our valued customers and resellers.Customer Answer

We have gone down that path at your advisement and we're sent the response it is not reasonable to expect someone to record a malfunctioning mouse if the device needs to be verified the standard practice is to have technicians check the hardware for tampering and performanceInitial Complaint

On July 5 2023 I purchased a Razer Nari Headset via ******, and on December 28th 2024 I filed a warranty request-the act of filing such a request was abhorrently difficult, Razer made it so this option is not easily accessible in a deliberate act to dissuade consumers from filing warranty claims it seems. Furthermore, I had to use an automated chat feature which also told me my warranty was not valid despite the two year warranty on the purchase page, box, and Razer's page. After arguing with the system I got a representative and was forced into the customer service **************************** has customer service designed to drag out a request-it's made this way to make it so I cannot get my item fixed or replaced. Razer is requesting that I send them my item-no method to ship safely (I would need a box) and no guarantees it won't get lost or damaged in transit. Razer then assesses my item and then decides to fix it, replace it, or tell me to deal with it-Razer also offers a hilariously bad option of paying an **** price of my item to Razer itself, AND shipping, and then sending them my "defective" good at the same time, and then they assess to determine if there is a refund. Also, at this time I will note the **** on Razer's site is significantly higher, not only this but Razer's shipping is slow. Disgustingly slow. I ordered from them previously and it took twenty business ******** then, I have had over 21 emails, 8 calls, and been on the phone for roughly six hours with Razer now. I have spoken to countless people who just read from a script and DO NOT help-again, this adheres to what I was saying-Razer wants to frustrate you. To drag it out so warranty ends, or you just get fed up and go elsewhere.I just want my headset replaced or a refund for this faulty product. I've bought dozens of things from Razer, and this is a nail in the coffin for me. I'm absolutely floored with how bad their care is-unless you are swiping a card--Razer does not help you.Business Response

My request was not ready in the slightest.
This is absolute insanity. I have repeatedly had issues with Razer not communicating and Razer is continuing to do more of the same. Mindlessly parroting a policy is not going to resolve the issue here when I have no credible trust to place in the company after numerous calls and disputes.
Not to mention I have had representatives lie and say someone "above VIP ************** will speak to me, but other members of that area claim there is nothing above it. So which is it? Am I going to be contacted or not?
Obviously not. Any time I respond to Razer it all starts over again. THIS is why I do not trust your company with sending my headset away or giving you more money. I have no faith that I would get something fixed. I feel I would lose a device that is somewhat running currently to just be gone altogether.
I wish to have someone speak to me. Human to human.
No more parroting. No more scripts. I need to have a proper dialogue with a proper individual. One who will be held accountable for what they promise me.

I purchased a $98.40 mousepad from Razer last Dec. 4, 2024 because the purchase included three World of Warcraft (WoW) in-game items. I received three WoW in-game redemption codes from Razer last Dec. 29, 2024. I was able to redeem two out of the three WoW in-game items. The code for the third in-game item (Iron Skyreaver) gave me an error message saying that I'm not in the correct region to redeem the item. I contacted Razer about it starting on Jan. 2, 2025. Their customer service team just kept saying that they're working on it. I posted a negative TrustPilot feedback about my experience on Jan. 9, 2025. That day, Razer reached out to me again to tell me that they're working on this issue. On Jan. 10, 2025, I received a message saying that they fixed the issue and that I could redeem the code. When I tried to redeem the code again, it did not provide me with the appropriate region (U.S.). If I redeemed the code in a different region, I would not have been able to use the code in my WoW game. I let Razer know about this.From Jan. 10, 2025 to today, Jan. 17, 2025, Razer has just been sending me an email everyday saying that they will let me know if there are any updates. I had asked them to provide me with additional information, such as what is causing the delay and if they could provide a more specific estimate of when the issue will be resolved. I have also requested a refund in lieu of getting a functional code. My requests have been ignored. If I do not respond to their daily email saying they're still waiting for updates on my case, they'll assume that my issue has been resolved and close my case without resolution.Razer emails me everyday telling me that they're working on this, and if I don't respond to a daily email, they will close my case without resolution. I'm questioning whether they're actually dedicating any resources to actually fixing my issue, or if they just have me on a daily automated email until I give up pursuing this issue.Initial Complaint

Razer has been saying they will make full refund for about three weeks now and avoid providing any specific dates. Since DEC 30th 2024 they keep coming up with clearly made up reasons not to make the payment (the package hasn't yet been received by our warehouse, our internal procedures take a bit longer than expected, we are still looking into this, please bear with us we understand your concern etc).
Considering I've been reaching out to them almost on a daily basis requesting my refund they are just trying to buy some time making different **** respond to my emails making me explain the issue over and over again.

I'm sending this email to reply to my complaint because your site will not allow me to respond to you guys.

And now you guys just closed the complaint when I have still not received anything from the company. Nothing has shipped haven't not received any update from them.

Razer is a bunch of scammers when you pay for a products and they refuse to give you the entire order that is the definition of a scam. Two game codes are supposed to come with my order but razer makes up every excuse possible why they cant give me my complete order. Your info doesnt match the order when I just gave them my order invoice that they game me when I paid. Literally scammed me out of almost $5000 on a non functional laptop that they refused to replace and cant even give me two games. Quite sad.Business Response

Razer reserves the right to cancel or deactivate gift card(s)/game codes if original orders are returned, or if abuse (inclusive but not limited to: exploitation of glitches, multiple account creation and spamming) or fraudulent activity is suspected.
