I give it 5 stars because there are sooooooo many electronic things here! Tons of different Phone cases, 3D Printers, Laptops, Keyboards and Headphones etc. So many brands here!! Full disclosure I am not tech savvy and I came here with my hubby...he's the tech savvy one. :) Price wise I can't tell you if they are more expensive or not. But I can say is...if you need something for your computer, this place should hopefully have it. This place reminds me of Fry's Electronics but 2.0...without those themed design in store. Like seriously there were tons to look at! No worries...there are workers here to help you if you have questions. They were very nice.

I make the trip to Micro Center once in a blue moon, and recently came here with my husband because he needed some thermal paste ASAP. We were hoping for more variety and higher quality options, but did manage to find an acceptable MX-4 one in a box of a bunch of random ones stored all together above the shelves where most of them were displayer. I think they have pretty decent pricing, came here once to take advantage of a really good deal for a 3D printer for like $100 and have gotten some decently priced filament here. Parking gets kind of tight on the weekends.

Lucas literally saved my life! Honestly, I was looking for labels everywhere all around Orange County. All I had to do was come to Micro Center and Lucas helped me out and found the labels all for me! Thank you, Lucas!!

Cilantro key switches from akko!

Went in with my boyfriend for the second time looking for creamy switches for my keyboard and a gift for his friend. We were looking around for switches and keyboards when Caleb asked us if we had any questions, it was perfect timing! He quickly got to advising us on what switches make certain sounds and feels, and how many we needed:) He got the boxes for the proper amount like he read our minds! We ended up getting headphones as well, he told us which ones were wireless and wired, what we'd use them for, and different brands to choose from. It's almost like he knew exactly what we needed, both switches and headphones are perfect! Caleb if you're seeing this, you're great! Thank you for all your help.Keep it up:)

Located on Edinger and Del Amo Avenues with plenty of parking. This is the only full-on computer store that I know of, and I love having Micro Center around. Big selection of all computer parts, software, gaming supplies, electronics, printer ink, etc. My husband is a DIY computer enthusiast, so this is his go-to store. We've also ordered online and simply picked up at the store. They have a 'Build-Your-Own' area and a 'Tech-Bar' for computer support. Shout out to Baldwin, who assisted us on the floor. He was very attentive and helped us find the right computer parts with such a great attitude. Excellent customer service! It has always been a great experience here and will definitely return.

Thanks again guys! You helped me to build an awesome rig and I appreciate all the help along the way!

I wanted to express some appreciation for the Micro Center staff I have had the pleasure of interacting with over the past month for their knowledge, honesty, and dedication to what they do. This experience is something that the Big Box stores can't replicate, and something that is lost with online sales. No personal connection is made, no exchange of knowledge to be had. It was great to experience the opposite in store and be helped by such exemplary staff and they deserve all the recognition below: From sales, I wanted to highlight Matt Abele, who was the person who truly helped me the most. I came in and met Matt and told him the bundle deal I wanted, and he offered plenty of suggestions, tips, and insight along the way. One of the big things I referenced to him was my desire for a pricy 5080 series GPU, but Matt was very good at gauging what I was going to use the card for and knew I could save at least $400 with the 5070 Ti model, and was great at giving me all the highlights as to why. In that moment, Matt could have upsold me on something he'd make a better commission on, but he decided to remain honest and helpful, and it was much appreciated. He offered suggestions with regards to products I should incorporate into my build and items to look further into. Overall, he helped me to keep that fire burning to get the ball rolling on my new PC build and I cannot thank him enough for that. I wanted to also highlight Mario Gutierrez Jr who was helpful with an exchange I had from my transaction with Matt. Anyone reading this in 2026 knows the RAM crisis that exists, so I decided to try to Future Proof my build and upgrade to a new RAM package that was being offered with the same bundle I got 3 weeks previously. Mario was great at assisting with the transaction and even answering more questions I had with regards to the upgrade and other items I would want to come back for. Additionally from the PC parts sales section I wanted to highlight Daniel Nazeri. I had a very simple question for Daniel with regards to cooling fans and he was able to offer all answers necessary to make the most informed decision. I knew the fans I wanted were not in stock and apologized for inconveniencing him with questions that didn't lead to a sale, but I appreciate that regardless he still took the time to assist and wasn't bothered that I took 5-10 minutes of his time. In the monitors section, I wanted to highlight Diego Aguilar for again answering all my questions. I let Diego know I had purchased an OLED monitor elsewhere at a killer price, but I was still interested in a model that Micro Center had in stock. I asked him pros and cons for both the monitor I purchased and what they had available and asked him if I made the right choice or if I should move to the one in stock at Micro Center. Without hesitation, Diego made a pros and cons list for both items and honestly told me the deal I got elsewhere was excellent and the additional money on the different branded monitor wouldn't truly be worth it. Again, he could have made a commission or pressured me to buy something else, but he was forthcoming and honest and it is this type of interaction that will keep me loyal to Micro Center for the future. I also told Diego I wouldn't use Chat GPT to write this, so I wanted him to know I kept my promise :D And lastly, I wanted to shoutout cashier Brandon F. As mentioned above, I needed to make an exchange of some RAM I got on a previous visit for a new set. It was a very complex return as the whole package deal had to be returned and repurchased, and I know it would have bothered me personally to allocate 5-10 minutes to process something like this. I told Brandon multiple times if he needed to help other customers I was happy to wait, but he insisted that we could get it done. With some help from his management team, he was able to get everything squared away correctly and with a positive attitude. I appreciate his patience in this matter. These 5 gentlemen were very deserving of some praise and truly are shining stars at Micro Center. Knowing that of the 5 people I interacted with, all 5 generated a positive interaction, it instills confidence in me that there is little to nobody at Micro Center who I couldn't also have the same type of attentive and honest interaction with in the future. As stated above, online stores could never replicate this level of service, and for that reason I will continue to drive the hour+ it takes me to get to Micro Center as I know all my questions will be answered, I will get the most fair price, and I will get exactly what I came for.

I will always support Microcenter. Good customer service and it's nice to have a brick and mortar store to go back to if parts don't work.

Micro Center Reviews in Other Languages

Ask the Community - Micro Center

Can I bring an open drink inside?

Why?

Can I bring my small dog with me to Micro Center?

I believe you can as long if it's a service dog or it's small enough to fit in your purse.

Can I make an appointment for Data Migration services?

No. Because the store works off commission and foot traffic, service is available on a first-come, first-serve, basis at any Micro Center retail location.

Do they fix 3D printers?

Highly unlikely. Micro Center tech bar mainly fixes computer hardwares and softwares like PCs, laptops, and BiOS update. For more information, visit https://www.microcenter.com/site/service/instore-service-diagnostics.aspx

Can I get the creality ender 3 pro with the first time shopping at microcenter discount delivered?

If you are purchasing in store, they do not ship or have it delivered to your location. You would have to ship it to yourself at a local shipping center. However, on the website, you can change "Your Store" to "Shippable Items" to see if that item… Read more

Do you buy used devices (microsoft surface)?

No. They don't have electronic recycle unlike Best Buy or Apple. No trade in. That way, they can promote sales and force you to buy new parts.

Why is there no direct number to your Tustin store?

No, there is no direct number because the store employees work off of commission. Also, the managers want to drive foot traffic to the store for sales.

Do you guys build pcs? I have some parts still in the box from Christmas a few years back. If yes, how much do you charge? Thank you!

Hi Aiden! Yes, we do offer build services. Pricing does vary based on what the build entails, however, starts at $149.99. No appointment necessary! For more info on our build services, please visit:… Read more

Are you open on President's Day?

Yes. Regular store hours.

How are GPU sales being handled? Are they still by waitlist signups?

Last I heard was that you go early before opening and scan some QR code they have posted daily. Then you wait in your car and wait for a random text that says to pick up inside if you are chosen in the lottery. Last time I was in they did have a… Read more

Do you guys accept PayPal or other forms of payment?

The only form of payment they accept is cash, credit cards, and Tap to Pay.

Do you guys offer military discount?

They do not offer any military discount. The only discount they offer is for the Micro Center Insider Card and price match with competitors (has to be shipped and sold).

What days so they receive gpu shipments?

GPU shipments are random one of the managers decides on when to raffle them off. They are on a first-come, first serve basis via raffle system.

Are they open on Easter?

Micro Center is closed on Easter Sunday.

I am wondering if there is a line outside that is waiting for graphics card, does micro center honor that line system or?

Hi there, yes there is

Do they have the rtx cards available everyday...also how early do you think I have to be there to secure an rtx card?

Not every day, and there is a line on the sidewalk where people camp out for cards. Here is a video from the line: https://youtu.be/PSeR8ir3rK0

Is curbside pickup available?

No curbside pick up available.

Do you take appointments to get in or is just walk-in?

The store is walk-in only and is on a first-come-first-serve basis for the tech bar. This is how they drive sales and foot traffic into the store.

When is it usually not busy?

Never, especially since Fry's is dead and they're the only source for pc components and micro parts outside of online.

Wow, so blessed and grateful with my experience with George at TecKnowCare…read more My boss had a printer that wasn't working. It didn't matter what we did to it. She was going to dump it. But I have big dreams so... I thought well... I don't know anyone, but maybe someone can help me fix it. I found George here on YELP and he is so personable and easy to relate to. Busy SoCal life for all, so we arranged a time that worked best for me. He had me bring it to him and within an hour he had it fixed in a jiffy like nothing was wrong with it! Also, it was nice working with someone who is HUMAN, a normal person with great consideration for others and a genuine authenticity of care for me, the customer. I couldn't have asked for a better experience and outcome off the cuff in need. I pretty much got an amazing find that needed Georges expertise and special touch. Now I have an awesome printer to do the things I feel called to do. He was gracious enough to sit with me for a few minutes too and make sure I knew how to operate it before taking it home. I'll definitely be referring you out to anyone in need of the services you provide. Thanks George for being all things to all people in authenticity, professionalism and transparency. It makes a difference in our world for sure.

Since it was during a holiday, I didn't want to bother them too much, but I didn't receive any updates for nearly three weeks. When I finally called to check the status, the owner told me they couldn't repair it. While I understand that not every repair is possible, I would have preferred to be informed sooner so I could retrieve my laptop. Later that same day, the owner called back and said they might be able to source a donor laptop to swap parts and asked for an additional two weeks. I agreed to give them more time. However, after the promised 2 weeks, I still hadn't heard anything, so I called again. The owner didn't have an update and asked me to call back the next day. When I did, the owner became upset, claiming he had told me to call back at noon, which he ABSOLUTELY had not. Why does it take a day just to check the status anyways? BTW I called at 11:50 am! Are you F ing kidding me you are upset for 10 minutues (which I was not even aware of) after a month of no response? His reaction was VERY unprofessional. He then calls me for the first time at 12:00 pm to tell me they still couldn't fix the laptop. I picked up my laptop and took it to an old friend who used to do repair work. Even though he's semi-retired and farther away, he diagnosed the issue correctly and had the laptop running again within three days. This may have been an isolated experience, but I highly recommend you avoid this place. I won't be returning!
