This store is amazing! The staff is friendly, helpful, and honest. They could have tried to upsell me on the coolest gadgets, but for my needs, they kept it cost-feasible. The selection was outstanding and the store is well organized. Hanzon is the man! My order was pretty big and I had to add to it. The company card was giving us fits and Hanzon had to ring up the order about 4 times across 2 hours. During the entire frustrating process, Hanzon maintained an amazing level of professionalism and rolled with every chance. Thanks to Hanzon and the MicroCenter team! read more

This location is full of amazing talent. It's a super clean and well-organized location. Most of what you need will be here and the amazing staff is very knowledgeable. Fremond and Ella and Ramon were the people who went above and beyond with my customer service experience. They truly are the most amazing people who made this company the best! Fremond is the most passionate and caring person I've ever met. True leader and master of what he does for this company. I'm a loyal customer for life because of him. Thank you very much! read more

Crazy selection, helpful staff 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 read more

Daniel was excellent and was able to take care of my PC sooner than planned. Really appreciate Daniel. read more

First time visiting Micro Center in Santa Clara, and I was impressed by the customer service. They didn't have the specific item I was looking for, but the staff was very patient, helpful, and took the time to answer my questions and suggest alternatives. The store has a great selection of tech products, and the helpful staff made the visit worthwhile even without a purchase. I'll definitely come back when I need computer or electronics gear. read more

What is up with the workers at this place??? The workers are so rude and cold, like I'm sorry I'm asking you a question at a place you work at??? Like???? This place needs better customer service, especially when people come here all the time needing assistance. The people at the desk near the BYO section are rude and annoying. Do better guys. read more

Staff is friendly. Good prices. They also have legos, board games, 3D printers and supplies.

Anthony M is awesome. He helped me a lot picking a keyboard that fits me. Always a good experience shopping here read more

I visited your store with low expectations, looking for an item advertised on sale for $0.99. After checking the mobile section, I couldn't find it and assumed it was out of stock. However, as I looked around, I was highly impressed by how clean and organized the store was. Gilbert greeted me in the next aisle and politely offered his assistance. I mentioned that I had been looking for a cable but had given up, assuming it was sold out. He asked to see the advertisement, brought me back to the mobile section, and actively helped me look for it. He even searched through several boxes stored on the top shelf until he finally located the correct cable. I was thoroughly impressed by Gilbert's exceptional attitude and customer service. He truly made my day. Gilbert is a prime example of an employee who is willing to go above and beyond for customers, regardless of the price of the item. Thank you! read more

Yes!, I really miss having a location to go and look at and buy gadgets in person since Fry's Electronics closed. Micro Center opening makes me so happy. It feels like I have a place to go again. The staff is helpful, there are individuals wandering around ready to help, and the store provides what you need. I'm glad they come back to the Bay. read more

My hubby is upgrading parts of his computer so he's like want to do a field trip to Micro Center? I'm like sure! I've never been to a Micro Center and I've really only been to a Fry's Electronics as well as a Computer Central. In short, it's nice to see Micro Center back and also a brick and mortar electronics store where you can pick up things quick as well as look at items in person. L O C A T I O N I had thought they just reopened the store they closed at Mercado so I thought our field trip would be relatively close. Phew I was dead wrong. This place is far from us. It's on Stevens Creek Blvd close to Lawrence Expressway. If you're old like, it's in the same plaza as were Barefoot Coffee used to be. Yeah....totally dating myself now. They have a parking lot shared with all the shops and restaurants there. It was pretty busy on a weekend but luckily we found a spot near the entrance. I N S I D E It was bright sparkly and welly organized. You walk in, there's a "Knowledge Bar" directly to your right. The check out/cashier is to the left. On the faaar left is where you can pick up orders you did online which is where we headed toward. Everything is laid out pretty well with labels for all the rows. I didn't really venture too far from the front of the store but from what I saw, it's pretty spacious. There is a slight musk scent throughout the place though which not sure if it's all the card board and goods or otherwise. S E R V I C E Pick up was pretty quick and the hubby asked a bunch of questions as well as trying to see if the bundles were applicable to his order. The folks there were quite helpful and patient with him as they answered all his questions and of course trying to get him a deal that was applicable. In the end, he didn't but they were kind enough to see if he could also price match. O V E R A L L I do miss Fry's, but it's nice that Micro Center came back and we can go here to take care of our electronics needs. It was also nice to see how popular and how many folks were here. Will definitely be back if we're in the area. read more

This place is great. It really felt like a throwback to a mini Fry's. I usually avoid buying electronics in person because the service at competing stores (you know who) is often poor. However, I was pleasantly surprised by how friendly and helpful the staff were. The prices were also very competitive. I was hesitant about ordering from online retailers because I have seen how packages get handled during warehouse shipping. The customer service was friendly, and I was able to get the help I needed. It reminded me of Japanese electronics stores, where staff are attentive and there are plenty of employees available even when the store is not busy. It showed that they care about the customer experience. The manager, Joseph, was also very kind and clearly runs a good operation. He came over to thank me for my new laptop purchase, which I appreciated. I will definitely recommend this place to my family and friends for their electronics needs. read more

What an amazing computer store. This used to be a bed bath and beyond. It's huge inside and it's a computer lovers dream. They have a section dedicated to building your own computer and they have associates that will help you every step of the way. My husband was like a kid in a candy store, in there. Well at least I know where I can do my Christmas shopping for him. We will be Bach for sure. read more

I'm so glad Micro Center is back. It was hard to see them leave the Bay Area all those years ago. 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 read more

I too am glad that they decided to return. They have everything that Fry's had and then more such as the fact that you can recycle. Fry's didn't provide such a thing. The employees were throughout the store. Which is good if you suddenly want help. And yes, they do ask if you need help. Again it's great to see them return. Now it would be nice to open up a few more of them since the Bay Area is so large. read more

Are you sick of Best Buy (who isn't)? Don't like waiting for Amazon to maybe deliver your electronics this week? Can't find anything you want at Costco, Staples, etc? Micro Center is the place to go for your electronics fix. They have a great selection of good quality products in a well organized store. They actually have human beings on the floor who are 1) extremely knowledgeable about their products, 2) willing and able to talk to you, and 3) not pushy or annoying. I know the big money is in gaming but it would be amazing if they had other product lines like home automation or tv/audio. I did buy a new Unifi wireless access point and, as expected, it worked perfectly. read more

Came here yesterday for pickup and the store was amazing. The store is not only huge but it displays alot more than other tech stores. They carry various brands so if you're looking for a cheaper alternative or a high end never gonna be replaceable product. The customer pickup is really quick and nice. They allow you to compare the order to products you didn't see online. read more

Do something about your checkout counter!! I had to buy gift card, should have been, in and out experience! But No no, I had to stand in line for 30 minutes because I was clubbed with return/exchange/checkout Even the nice friendly gentleman at knowledge bar or whatever didn't help. Not visiting again. Hope I don't know any other Micro center fan and I decide on giving gift card read more

2 stars for the regular guys helping out in dress shirts, minus 3 stars for whatever those dudes are walking around with dark blue jackets and ties like they' own the place. I've spent probably over 20k at this store in a year and a half, not saying I deserve special treatment, but I enjoy talking to the regular floor guys, idk who these dark blue jackets walking around like their too important are, but every single interaction I've had is either met with attitude or some smart remark or being directed to ask a regular floor guy, maybe they're some fancy security team, I have no idea, been going to central computers more often unless outta stock. They should just wear shirts that say "I don't wanna be bothered". I'm annoyed enough to leave this review. read more

The hype is definitely real. I've been waiting for Microcenter to return to the Bay Area after a huge hiatus. It's super depressing as a Bay Area native to see all these amazing deals at Microcenter that we could never partake since they do not ship anything. All I can say is welcome back Microcenter! We missed you. A lot of people would agree since the parking lot is SUPER Full and it is packed inside even though the store is quite large. Hopefully it dies down a bit as time goes on and it becomes reasonable to park and shop there without bumping into a lot of people. read more

I just went there tonight. 1) The store's lighting is very nice. Bright and inviting. 2) Employees are super friendly 3) The way they displace the merchandize is very nice. 4) They have a car-driving station to try out. 5) They give out a very nice free mug. 6) They displace keyboard and also some of the key, you could try out and have a "feel" for it. Highly recommended, will be backed. My husband did buy something there. read more

My fiancé and his friends have been geeking out on the idea that Micro Center was finally returning to the bay. We visited on the evening of the Grand Opening and waited 20 minutes before entering the store. We're familiar with the Micro Center in Tustin, and in comparison, this location is way larger and has a few extra neat sections, such as the 3d filament carousel. As expected, it was rather crowded. We had some fun browsing, but the check-out line was 1.5 hours and not worth the wait. Our friend went during the soft-opening and on weekdays when it wasn't busy, and it was much easier to check out. ** We've also visited again on a weekend and the check out has no wait anymore** We took home a couple of free Micro Center cups and it seems like they have a good amount of inventory for them. Glad that we have a convenient electronics store now in the Bay! read more

Soooo I finally stopped by Micro Center during their Black Friday deal days. Friday was chaos but controlled chaos. Staff were really good at helping people out despite the craziness going on. I decided to come back the following day. It was a lot more chill and staff looked prepared to weather another storm. I'd say my shopping experience here was good. The store is overwhelming with literally everything computer related you can think of. The staff there were helpful in finding items and even offered their own opinions on PC parts which I appreciated because it helped me pick between parts. The store itself is pretty organized and I never felt like the shelves were in disarray despite how many people were there. I checked out with a cashier named Chris and he's a 100/10, the absolute GOAT. Chris picked up on the fact that I was buying a bundle deal and that one of the parts was open box. The bundle was for new unopened parts. So he caught that and I was able to get a discount on the bundle. What a legend. His service alone has made me a loyal customer to MC. read more

Visited during the grand opening weekend, parking was difficult and long lines at the cashiers. Seemed like the IT geeks of the Bay Area had came out from their sheds to get here They gave away free mugs with silicone valley views, it's kind of cool. Glad to have a high tech store open here to replace the old Fry's. read more

Micro Center is Best Buy on steroids. The keyboard section took up more than a whole wall. There were even more keyboards on brand specific displays. I wish the keyboards were more clearly sorted by wired, wireless, and both. Staff were really helpful and quick. Flagging down staff was also really easy. The selection of computer parts is impressive but a bit pricy and above market price. You are able to price match products on Amazon sold by Amazon read more

Eric did an amazing job! Came in on 03/23 in the afternoon and was walking around for a bit. Eric noticed us waiting in line at the parts department and asked if we needed a hand grabbing anything specific. Helped make our experience a lot faster and had easy service from there with the checkout experience. Love coming here and definitely going to keep returning read more

Possibly the worst customer service I have experienced. I remembered waiting at the counter, wanting to ask a question, and there were literally three employees having a full on conversation 4 feet away from me and i waiting like 3 minute before they asked me what I wanted. I asked them what were the prices of the gpus they had(cuz they had no price tag) and the person literally just told me to check their website. He then proceeded to walk back and continue talking to his friends. Like cmon. I also asked questions to other employees about other thing and every single person was either unhelpful or gave me some snarky reply. Don't get me wrong, microcenter had great deals and good prices. The customer service is just absolutely horrendous. I wouldn't recommend coming here, just order online and do store pickup or just order somewhere else(the store pickup lines are also very slow, I waited 45 minutes and there were only 4 people ahead of me). read more

3D printing filament area is so messy it's hard to look for product. There was still a lot of shipping boxes with product inside and maybe 2 full carts with random filament on them. Wish I could've taken pictures but it made me want to just go online and shop instead. Zero urgency for cleanliness of that area. read more

The long awaited Micro Center, this is not the first time we had this company bless us with their presence, there was a location on 101 an exit before Great American theme park, but that was years ago. We also did have Fry's largely spread out all over Northern California but we have not had and real computer stores here in awhile, we still have the Computer Central in San Mateo and another location in San Francisco but nothing as massive as the MicroCenter to compare too. The spot is fairly large, long lines even after a month of it being open, several customer reps walking around asking if you need help and tagging your items that you will be purchasing, several GPU (video cards) on display 40 series and 50 series. several motherboards, ram, but oddly not that many amd processors several if not all intel, hmm might be on back order lol They do have almost two rows of towers, mid size and small enclosures to build out your custom machine, all the wiring, all the power units, zip ties and velcro straps you need to make everything neat and clean on your builds Definitely have to come back during the week when supposedly no one is here, haha during the weekend it was a zoo, so many people. For Gaming they do have steering wheels, several controllers depending on your needs, flight simulator, car simulator, tank simulators, and regular Playstation or Xbox type controllers Same for keyboards almost a row and a half of selections, they do have almost everything in excess which is good and bad Glad to see there is this option if I need to get computer supplies or items for a computer, I can come here to hopefully find what I need service ***** helpful price $-$$$$ depends on what you need ambiance ***** clean, loud, large selection of items read more

It has been a long time since we've had a store like this in the Bay Area. Once upon a time, Micro Center in Santa Clara at Mercado was a great stop for techies, but it had heavy competition with all of the Fry's Electronics that surrounded the Bay Area. It eventually closed down, then all the Fry's closed down, then the Bay Area suddenly found itself as a tech capital without any walk-in tech stores. Best Buy is great, but it only gets you so far. Hubby and I went to the new Micro Center on a Friday night to pick up an order he placed online. It was somewhat busy, but the store was huge and we had no problem getting around. It was really great to see all the variety of tech on display in the store and felt like walking through a Fry's in its glory days. It was quick getting checked out for the pickup. Overall, a smooth experience. read more

Uniqueness: An area designated for 3D Printing?!? Count me in! Wait Time: [x][x][x][x][x] Service: [x][x][x][x][x] Setting: [x][x][x][x][x] Cost: [x][x][x][x][x] Recommendation? Come here for the grand opening for the good deals but follow their newsletter for more deals to follow! Prices here are great! Not often I write a review that is non-food related and I have to say, my first time coming to a Micro Center is showing me how much I've been missing out on visiting one ever. Although not as big as a Fry's, Micro Center has TONS of products in it's smaller footprint, from appliances, computers, build PCs, and even 3D printing (which is very rare to see in person vs buying filaments online). Staff here is super friendly and glad to know they are knowledgeable too vs. Fry's nearing it's end days where staff didn't seem to really care much about electronics. Any question you had to ask on electronics to PCs, they'll be able to help you no problem. Quality of all their products are great and most of all, the prices in general are quite reasonable! I went near their grand opening weekends so the wait time in line was insane but I'm certain it'll normalize in the next week/months to come. When it comes to getting any electronics, Micro Center is the place to go to get all your tech goods in person. read more

Got a free mug at 6:45pm today (5/29/2025.) Decent prices. I noticed they no longer have video games. Back when they were at the Mission College Blvd location, they had video games. I remember pre-ordering Crysis 2 there. Good times. I'm glad they are back. It is like seeing an old friend. The new store is much cleaner with vibes of Fry's Electronics. The staff here are young and knowledgeable. No line at the cashier. There was some wait for them to write up my order for a NVMe drive. read more

What's there to say? It's been over a decade since we had a Micro Center store in the Bay Area. Pretty much anything you need to build your own computer is here.

I visited during soft opening and it was pretty smooth! I got a free mug at the entrance since it was soft opening :) The parking lot was pretty filled up but there's definitely spots further away from the building.

As opening day. It is crazy packed here and lines are too much for me lol. It's to be expected since they're technically the only electronics store thats worth going to these days. It has everything that I was looking for. Parking lot can be a challenge despite it being opening day. This plaza has a lot of good places to eat so parking can be difficult in th future. I've been told by friends and word of mouth from people that this place is considered the Disneyland but for computers/tech alike. I drove all the way to Tustin just to get my upgrades for computers. So glad that we now have one in Santa Clara. We need one more than ever here especially since fry electronics closed down during covid. read more
