In answer to your question, basically any product of need for myself and friends - laptops, headphones, keyboards, computer mouse.

You need to understand, that there Isn't a single company that does not require the product be returned with each and every claim.
Steel series don't require a return but they do ask you you to destroy the product and show proof (easily photoshopped) unless they ask for a video, then they send you a free voucher to pick a replacement from their site for a simialir product.

The simple answer? It requires up-front cash. Most of us are cash-strapped lol.

SteelSeries will request a POD, return the defective Item, or both.
Quote:Upon approval, the specialist will instruct you with one, or both, of the steps below:
Destroy on Site: You will be provided with instructions on how to physically destroy the product. It is important that you do not recycle the product until you receive a replacement. (See below for information on recycling)
Return Process: You may be required to ship the product in. This may include shipping in a destroyed product.
