Hi Ross,
I contacted Best Buy and they said that I needed to contact Microsoft because it was after the 90 day time period. Either I am not on the right webpage with Microsoft, or I am doing something wrong in my searches since all that seems to come up with warranty results is Surface and XBox type of things.
Hi, Brian-263,
Check the limited Warranty found here. It may have 2 or 3 year coverage.
"B. EXCLUSIVE REMEDY. evice to Your place of acquisition (or, if that place will not accept the return, to Microsoft) with a copy of Your receipt or other bona fi de proof of payment during the Warranty Period, Microsoft will, at its option and as Your exclusive remedy for breach of this Limited Warranty and any implied warranties: repair or replace all or part of the defective Software or the defective Hardware Device; or make payment to You for the allowable damages that You incurred in reasonable reliance, but only up to the amount You paid (if any) for the Software and/or the Hardware Device less reasonable depreciation based on actual use. The above remedy is subject to the following: any repaired or replaced Software or Hardware Device will be new or refurbished or serviceably used, comparable in function and performance to the original Hardware Device (or Software), and may include third party items; any Software or Hardware Device repaired or replaced under this Limited Warranty will be warranted for the remainder of the original Warranty Period or 30 days from the date of shipment of the item back to You, whichever is longer. If an upgrade to Software is delivered with a new limited warranty, then the terms of that new limited warranty will apply only to the Software as upgraded, but will not apply to the original Hardware Device; except as otherwise required by legislation in Your jurisdiction, costs associated with transport (including packaging) for warranty service shall be at Your expense; and Microsoft does not provide any warranties regarding any other services provided under this Limited Warranty and disclaims all duties (if any) of workmanlike effort or of lack of negligence regarding such services."
It goes on to explain what steps to take in receiving a refund or replacement for the unit.
Best Buy may have a 90 day return policy but the link to Microsoft Limited Warranty specifically states.
Click the link I provided in my previous post and read the full agreement.
Warranty Period: Microsoft Product:
Ninety (90) days Xbox 360 Accessories for Windows; Microsoft LifeChat ZX-6000
Two (2) years LifeCam VX-500; LifeCam VX-700; LifeCam VX-800; Microsoft Optical Mouse 200; Microsoft Wired Keyboard 200; Comfort Optical Mouse 3000; Compact Optical Mouse 500; Wheel Mouse Optical; Wired Desktop 800; Wireless Mobile Mouse 1000; Wireless Mobile Mouse 3000; Wireless Mouse 1000; Wired Desktop 200; Wireless Desktop 800; Wireless Keyboard 800; Microsoft Compact Mouse 100; Microsoft Optical Mouse 100; all other Microsoft headsets (excluding Xbox 360 wired or wireless headset accessories)

From what I'm reading you have either the 2 or 3 year warranty and may return it to Microsoft.
