Thousands of Razer customers scored a sweet deal this week. According to a statement issued by the gaming hardware maker's CEO, Min-Liang Tan, an unauthorized coupon code for 90% off any order placed through Razer's online store leaked online, resulting in a flood of new orders with deep discounts. While the company says it's within legal boundaries to invalidate the orders, Razer will honor the discount, allowing users to apply the 90% discount to one product in their order.

"It will likely cost us an insane amount of losses to make good on the orders which will really really hurt us as we’re still a small company," Tan said. "That much said, we want to do right by the community."As the company begins sifting through the thousands of orders placed using the coupon, it's urging customers to be patient. In his statement, Tan says that orders generated using the code could take weeks or even months to process.
