Crazy selection, helpful staff…read more The Micro Center in Santa Clara, located at 5201 Stevens Creek Blvd, brings an incredible, hands-on tech wonderland to Silicon Valley with over 40,000 square feet of hardware, components, and gadgets. I agree with other shoppers that the store is a much-needed haven for PC builders and enthusiasts, featuring immersive displays like a massive 3D printer filament wall and vast shelves stocked with graphics cards, motherboards, and pre-built systems. You can touch and test products before buying, which makes browsing feel engaging and fun.Beyond the impressive inventory, the store stands out for its helpful staff and competitive pricing on tech gear. Employees at the Knowledge Bar and open-air workshop are ready to answer technical questions or help assemble custom PC builds if you prefer not to do it yourself. While popular items like high-end graphics cards can draw crowds or fluctuating prices, the overall shopping experience feels well-organized and exciting for anyone passionate about technology. Thanks

I'm so glad Micro Center is back. It was hard to see them leave the Bay Area all those years ago…read more And I'm glad to see that service, selection and prices are still good. I've been by a few times recently and at every stage, the service was excellent. First, I went to find a very hard to find accessory for my sim racing brakes. A total niche of a niche thing that even the big A doesn't have. A guy from the pc parts department took me right to it. They had four on the shelves, and every other kind of gaming gear you could possibly want. Next, I went to pick up a laptop for a family member and had used their reservation setup. I walked up, gave them my info and was handed the Karoo in like twenty seconds. Per my receipts, Ella has helped me check out both times and has been courteous and helpful. One of the managers introduced himself and gave me his contact info. So yeah. I'm glad MC is back and still the a fantastic computer and electronics store

Super knowledgeable and friendly guy with very fair prices!…read more I came to Binh with a PC that just refused to turn on despite days of attempted troubleshooting. Within a single afternoon, he had diagnosed the problem (dead CPU) and ordered the replacement parts needed to get it back and running. I was anxious about leaving my PC with another person for the first time, but he was super communicative and happy to answer any questions throughout the entire repair process, which really helped ease my worries. I'll absolutely go to him for all my future problems (God forbid, LOL), and I can't recommend his services enough!

This review is for a service inquiry, he was very rude. I would not recommend. Had a very…read morecondescending attitude and wasn't helpful at all. Edit: since he wanted to misrepresent things in his response, complete unedited screenshots of conversation attached. I'm a potential customer, not a verbal punching bag. Note that he's worded his entire response as a victim, you can read the entire inquiry and decide if he's truthful or not. Update: Binh starting texting my private phone number with harassing messages. I had to report this conduct to yelp. Also I did share his messages... with yelp. Blocking someone is usually an indication that you no longer wish to receive further communication from someone. Not to Binh! He'll use your personal information in whatever unprofessional manner suits him.

I called JT because my computer kept crashing for no apparent reason, and in trying to fix it, I…read moremade it worse. It wouldn't even boot. I looked for help on Craigslist and found JT. For a very reasonable fee he promised to fix the computer. He came to my house the next day and got it to work. I paid him and he left. 30 minutes after he left my computer rebooted on it's own again despite the newly installed operating system. I called him and he asked me to bring the computer to his place so he can figure it out. I did. In the next couple of days JT kept me updated on all the tests he had to perform (which often required pulling components out one by one to isolate the issue). The issue it turned out was a faulty motherboard. OUCH. He laid out my options for me and we decided that we can save the computer if I buy some new components for it. JT met me at Fry's Electronics and spent almost two hours with me selecting a new motherboard, and RAM. I got myself a larger internal hard drive as well. JT took the parts home and basically re-built my computer. This included installing a hard drive for me just because I asked him to. When I brought the computer home it worked like a charm. Still does. Now here's what makes JT great... ( aside from being competent, responsive, and friendly through the entire experience) ... he never charged me a penny more since that first night. Despite spending countless hours on my computer and coming to Fry's with me. JT, you're awesome and I hope people read this review and give you their business.

I'm not a techie person, but I was glad to tag along with my son to this particular expedition! Lol…read morehe's making his own computer and needed some specialty parts that he could buy, and physically see in person here at this particular location. The different employees at work here were all incredibly helpful in assisting my son on building his computer, they pretty nerdy, but all in the good way! Lol a lot of items were behind the lock cabinets, but there was an employee behind the counter that could quickly come unlock everything. They had their own private parking lot in the back and prices were basically the same as online my son said, unless you were buying us somewhat used item from a private vendor. So yes, I will come here again to tag along with my son since I do not know how to make my own computer, but he does. He loves this place!!

They gave me back my computer with diagnostics fee being the only cost I paid (39 bucks at the time!) and she's back in working order! Really appreciated their ability to work around my schedule too.

On top of all that, he even mentioned that if he wasn't able to get it fixed, they would refund me out of good faith. I'm happy to say that my computer's healthy now, and The Cheap Squad is easily one of the best vendors I have ever worked with. I cannot recommend them enough.

I don't really dabble in building keyboards myself but as someone who works in accessibility, it's interesting to me (textured/braille keys, ergonomic and 1 handed keyboards, etc.). They're located in the back of a creator's hub in a shared space but they have their own worker there who can answer questions and they have building events and community days too from what I've gleaned over. Definitely check out their Instagram for more up to date information. They have clay key caps, they do commissions, and they have lots of different colors, textures, with or without the numbers and letters and symbols on them, different levels for beginners or more advanced keyboard people, mats, cases, and so much more, so if this is your hobby, this is the place to stop by. Value and price is fair for what they offer since there's pre-built, build your own, the variety that they have, and the fact that they can also DIY or do commissions after reaching out. Much better than, you know, getting a cheapo Hoyoslop keyboard from elsewhere...
