Return & Exchange Policy

If something is not right with your order, we want the process to be clear and reasonable. This policy explains when you can return an item, when an exchange is available, how refunds are handled and what to expect after we receive your request.

Effective immediately
Returns made straightforward

A clear process from request to refund

We sell new computer keyboards, mice and related products. If you receive an item that is not suitable, arrives damaged, develops a fault or is different from what you ordered, please contact us and give us the opportunity to sort it out.

When you can request a return

A return may be accepted in a number of situations. The exact process depends on why you are returning the product and the condition of the item.

You have changed your mind
For an eligible online purchase, you may normally cancel within 14 calendar days from the day after you receive the goods. The item should be handled only as much as reasonably necessary to check its nature, characteristics and functionality.
The product is faulty
If a keyboard, mouse or other product develops a genuine fault, contact us as soon as you notice the issue. We may ask for a description of the problem, photographs or a short video so that we can understand what has happened and arrange the appropriate solution.
The product arrived damaged
If the item appears damaged when received, please contact us within 48 hours where reasonably possible and provide photographs of the product and its packaging. This helps us deal with the delivery issue quickly.
The wrong product was supplied
If you receive a different product from the one ordered, contact us within 7 calendar days of delivery. We will review the order and arrange the appropriate return and replacement process.
The order is incomplete
If a listed component or accessory that should have been included with the product is missing, let us know within 7 calendar days of delivery so we can check the order and arrange the next step.
Product does not match its description
If the product materially differs from the description, specification or product information presented at the time of purchase, contact us so that the order can be reviewed and the appropriate remedy arranged.

Condition required for a change-of-mind return

For a normal change-of-mind return, please keep the product in the condition in which you received it as far as reasonably possible.

  • The product should be complete and include the accessories supplied with it.
  • Original packaging should be retained where reasonably possible.
  • The product should not have been modified, altered, disassembled or repaired by the customer.
  • A keyboard should not have been customised with replacement switches, keycaps, internal components or other modifications.
  • A mouse should not have been physically modified or altered from its supplied configuration.
  • The item should not have been used more than is reasonably necessary to establish its nature, characteristics and functionality.
  • Any included manuals, cables, receivers, adapters or other supplied components should be returned with the product.

Where an item has been handled beyond what is reasonably necessary to inspect it, we may take account of any resulting reduction in value where applicable under law.

03 /

Products that cannot normally be accepted as a standard return

A normal change-of-mind return may not be accepted in the same way where the condition of the product or the circumstances of the request prevent it from being resold as supplied.

Customer modification
Products that have been opened, altered, rewired, internally modified or otherwise changed by the customer may not qualify for a standard change-of-mind return.
Physical damage caused after delivery
A return based solely on a change of mind may not be accepted where the product has been damaged through inappropriate handling, impact, liquid exposure, misuse or another event occurring after delivery.
Missing components
A standard return may be affected where essential supplied components, accessories or other included items are not returned with the product.
Signs of unauthorised repair
Products that show evidence of an unauthorised repair or internal alteration may not qualify for a standard change-of-mind return.
Return outside the applicable period
A change-of-mind return requested after the applicable cancellation period may not be accepted unless another return right applies.
Unrelated damage or use
A claim based on a product fault will be assessed against the reported issue. Damage or wear unrelated to the reported fault may be taken into account when determining the appropriate remedy.

These conditions do not remove or reduce any rights that apply to faulty, misdescribed or otherwise non-conforming goods under applicable consumer law.

04 /

Faulty or damaged products

If a product is faulty, damaged on arrival or does not perform as it should, please contact us before sending it back unless another arrangement has already been agreed.

  • Tell us what is happening and when the issue first appeared.
  • Include your order reference so we can locate the purchase.
  • Where useful, provide photographs or a short video showing the issue.
  • Keep the product and supplied accessories until we confirm the return arrangement.
  • Do not attempt an internal repair before contacting us, as this may make it harder to establish the original condition of the product.

Depending on the circumstances and applicable consumer law, the available remedy may include repair, replacement, price adjustment or refund.

05 /

Exchange policy

If you would prefer another item rather than a refund, we can arrange an exchange where the requested product is available.

Same product replacement
Where the returned product is faulty, damaged on arrival or incorrectly supplied, we will review the order and arrange an appropriate replacement where available.
Different product
If you want to change to a different keyboard or mouse, contact us before returning the original item. The price difference, if any, will be discussed before the exchange is confirmed.
First exchange
The first exchange shipment for an eligible order is provided without an additional standard shipping charge.
Further exchange request
Any further exchange relating to the same order is reviewed individually. Shipping arrangements are confirmed with the customer before the additional exchange is processed.
06 /

Return shipping

We keep return shipping simple for the first eligible return or exchange.

First eligible return or exchange — shipping covered The first return or exchange relating to an order is provided without an additional standard return or replacement shipping charge. If a further return or exchange is requested for the same order, the shipping arrangement will be considered individually and confirmed before the request is processed.

For a change-of-mind return, the applicable return arrangements will be explained before the return is confirmed. Where a product is faulty, damaged, incorrectly supplied or otherwise does not conform to the order, we will handle the return arrangements in accordance with the circumstances and applicable law.

How to request a return

Please email us before sending an item back. This gives us a chance to confirm the reason for the return and provide the correct instructions.

Send your order reference, the product name and a short explanation of why you want to return or exchange the item.
As soon as possible
Step 02 — Review
We review the request and may ask for photographs, supporting information or other details where needed.
Usually 1–2 working days
Step 03 — Return
Once the return is approved, we provide the relevant return instructions and confirm the applicable shipping arrangement.

Refunds and when the money arrives

Once a refund has been approved, we will normally arrange it without unnecessary delay. For eligible online cancellations, the refund will normally be made within the timeframe required by applicable consumer law.

Stage Normal timeframe What happens
Return received Usually 1–3 working days We inspect the returned product and confirm the applicable outcome.
Refund approved Normally within 2 working days The refund is submitted through the original payment route where reasonably possible.
Refund processing Usually 3–7 working days The time taken for the funds to appear can depend on the customer’s bank or payment service.
Expected total Usually 5–10 working days after approval Most customers should see the refund within this period once the refund has been approved and submitted.

For statutory cancellations, refunds will be handled in accordance with the applicable legal timeframe. Where the law requires us to wait until goods are returned or the customer provides evidence that they have been sent back, that requirement will apply.

We normally return the money using the same payment method originally used for the purchase. We do not normally charge a separate administration fee for an approved refund.

09 /

When a refund may not be due

A refund is not automatically available simply because a product has been used. We look at the reason for the return, the applicable return period, the condition of the product and the rights that apply to the purchase.

  • A change-of-mind request made after the applicable cancellation period may fall outside the normal cancellation right.
  • A product that has been modified or repaired by the customer may not qualify for a standard change-of-mind return.
  • Damage caused after delivery through misuse, inappropriate handling or unauthorised modification may affect a change-of-mind return.
  • Missing essential components may affect the value or eligibility of a standard return.
  • A refund may be delayed while we are waiting for the returned product or information reasonably needed to assess the request.
  • A duplicate or repeated return request for the same order will be reviewed individually rather than automatically treated as a new complimentary return.

These points apply to standard voluntary returns and do not override statutory rights relating to faulty, damaged, misdescribed or otherwise non-conforming goods.

10 /

Refund deductions and reduced value

For a lawful change-of-mind cancellation, a customer is generally entitled to handle the goods only as much as needed to establish their nature, characteristics and functionality.

If a product has been handled beyond that level and its value has been reduced as a result, the applicable deduction may be considered where permitted by law.

We will not use a routine deduction simply because an item has been reasonably inspected. Any assessment will be based on the circumstances of the returned product and the rights applying to the purchase.

11 /

Manufacturer warranty

Our products are supplied as new products and may include a manufacturer’s warranty. Where a manufacturer’s warranty applies, the relevant warranty terms may provide an additional route for dealing with a product issue.

A manufacturer’s warranty does not remove any consumer rights that apply to the purchase. Where you report a product issue, we will consider the circumstances and explain the available next step.

12 /

Delivery damage and missing items

If your parcel arrives with visible damage, please take a few photographs before disposing of the packaging and contact us within 48 hours where reasonably possible.

If an expected item or component is missing, contact us within 7 calendar days of delivery. We will compare the order details with the items dispatched and arrange the appropriate solution.

These reporting periods help us investigate delivery issues quickly and do not remove any statutory rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.

Return disclaimer

A practical note before sending an item back

Please contact us before returning a product unless we have already given you different instructions. We cannot accept responsibility for an item sent to an incorrect location or returned without enough information to identify the order. Delivery estimates, inspection periods and refund processing times are normal working estimates rather than guarantees of an exact hour or date. Delays caused by a delivery provider, banking service, public holiday, transport disruption or another circumstance outside our reasonable control may take longer than the normal timeframe. We will, however, take reasonable steps to keep you informed and help resolve an issue once it is reported. Nothing in this policy is intended to exclude, restrict or replace any consumer right or legal protection that cannot lawfully be excluded or restricted.

14 /

Contact us

If you need to return or exchange an item, send us your order reference, the product name and a short description of the reason for your request. If the product is damaged or faulty, photographs or a short video can also help us deal with the request more quickly.
