Geeks.com BTC Ultra Slim Mini USB keyboard $8 + shipping

[akahai]

For those of you who likes mini keyboards, this is one of the best mini keyboard I came across. And the price is unbelievable, I paid $15 for mine and that was sale price.

Note: Shipping is kinda high for one item, much better if buying multiple items. For example, shipping from San Diego to LA for 1 keyboard is $7, but shipping for 4 keyboards and few small items was only $1 more.

Note: Keyboard does not work with Vista 64 right out of the box, need to download new driver here.

Note: There is a coupon code for 10% off, don't think I can post the code here, but you should be able to find it using your favor search engine.

thanks OP bought two for 23.38 shipped to NY, which cost less than when i bought my first one. i'm using it right now actually, and yeah i agree with OP this is the best and cheapest mini keyboard i have so far. keyboard and top function buttons works fine in vista x64 SP1 ultimate. didn't need to install any drivers myself to get it working.

That's a deal-breaker right there. How are you supposed to install the driver, when the keyboard doesn't work?

Use your old keyboard?

Or you could copy and paste individual letters using the right click menu until you have googled the driver website.

But still...

let me ad some more ... for emphasis.

I do not understand you people who expect free shipping for everything.

geeks uses UPS or fedex, and if you have ever shipped anything by ups or fedex you know the absolutely minimum it will cost is $6-7. not to mention geeks has to buy boxes which are also not free.

If anything at least geeks combines shipping for multiple items.

There that great store everyone loves called newegg that doesn't.

??? keyboard works straight away from a fresh vista x64 ultimate install for me. never heard of it needing separate drivers?

There's several reviews on Newegg from people who had driver problems.

Shipping does seem high for 1, but in for 2, thanks OP.

 

[HankD]

OP Great deal, been waiting for a deal just like this... Just wish I saw it before my order last Friday

To the complainer...
Amazon has it for $19.95, so add shipping and your doodad and you still saved 97 cents and a free doodad...
But you are right, they should have paid you to take it, then drove it to your house and installed it for you...
and while they are at it shampooed your carpet and taken a baseball bat to your cranium...

From Newegg Review...
Didn't work with my Vista-64 computer, but worked fine with XP. Returned incorrect characters with numerous keys on the right side of the keyboard. I also installed BTC's Vista-64 driver from their website but got identical operation.
Contacted web tech support and got a quick response. Pressing the Fn and NumLk keys simultaneously solved problem. Wish they had put that info in their installation guide.

Alternative that doesn't need drivers**, for those who worry about driver support on this keyboard. I have the other keyboard and it has pretty close to "normal" sized keys instead of notebook keys like some of the slim keyboards and comes in two colors (black, or black/silver). Price is pretty good too.

**Don't know about the extra (multimedia?) keys, but the normal keys worked fine for me w/o drivers.

 

[Bobartig]

In for 2. I love small keyboards. The Logitech PS2 keyboard (i.e. playstation 2, not PS2) is one that I use often, although the key layout is kind of crap. This one looks much more convenient. Can't wait to try it out on my media pc. Thx OP!

 

[swtethan]

I have this keyboard right now, bought it like 2 years ago, great keyboard... let me plug it into my vista 64 machine and see

 

[swtethan]

well well what do you know.. IT WORKS! NO NEED TO INSTALL DRIVERS, im typing on it right now. Whos the noob that said it needed drivers?


Vista 64 ultimate

Heh, I use one of those with the matching mouse at work on one of my test rigs. Problem with it is that it is TOO small. The keyboard from Directron that I linked is big compared to the Logitech, yet still much smaller than a normal keyboard.

 

[beekeeper]

Thanks. In for 5 because my kids destroy keyboards at an astonishing rate.

Shipping for 5 was only $12.00 to Kansas.
