Holly Cats! Even if staple insist on charging you INCA's 2nd day air (which they probably will) it's still a good deal at $28 aprox. AR
Anyone trying it?

 

[SupaCh1nk]

fry's has it for $14.95, oem version.

Are you ure it's the same keyboard? I checked outpost.com and all they had was the retail version for $59.99.

Newegg has the OEM Internet Pro Keyboard for $29.99. The Natural Keyboard Pro has an MSRP of about $20 more than the Internet Keyboard Pro.

Can they do that? By now I'm pretty much a verteran of pricematching at Staples. They have never tried to charge me for next day air :Q.

it's at fry's, not outpost and it's not in a retail box. you have to look carefully to find it, it comes in a brown box and it has Dell printed on the keyboard. In the bay area, i think it's actually 24.99, not 14.99 but a good deal either way.

 

[sumrtym]

Yep, they can do that. It says 1 day shipping on the Staples site, so they match next day shipping anywhere I find it. If they had 2-3 business days, I could get away with ground.

Kills this deal for me.

As I recall, aren't the Dell ones just PS/2 or USB, not both? And do they have the extra USB ports on them?

Hmm...what about this?

Are you trying to do this at Staples.com? Try a B&M, and don't take the Staples Web Printout with you, they know what price they are selling it for. Doing it online, you might run into complications such as those.

 

[sumrtym]

Well, one, they're not local, so a B&M doesn't work. Second, I didn't think Staples B&M would pricematch on-line stores, only local competitors. Their on-line store was the exception to everybody else.

Consolation is that MIR isn't going anywhere for quite a while, so perhaps there will be an opportunity to take advantage of it in the future. Everybody keep your peepers open!!!

Staples B&M does price match online stores. That is why they are so popular when it comes to Hot Deals .

And yes, according to the site the OEM for $25 does have the USB ports.

edit: edited title to refect B&M pricematch. I didn't even know Staples.com PMed.

Great deal!!!

and I just PM an online store at staples B&M yesterday for a laptop ethernet card, they did it just fine. I didnt have the shipping information so he added $5 for shipping. Still saved about $10 though! So they do it, and didnt say anything about next day air, just regular shipping and since I didnt have the info he added the $5 on it.

Gona try to get the keyboard later this week sometime.

Wow.....cool, just killed my Natural Keyboard Elite with coffee. Gotta get one, thanx a lot.

 

[ivan2]

great deal

 

[Goku247]

Yeah i have the same keyborad this is an excellent deal if u can get it........

 

[brad2575]

Just did this yesterday after work.

They accepted the PM fine, they had to get manager to help, but I think she just didnt know how to do it properly on the computer. Make sure you have print out of shipping (on the link that was posted) cause they will add that to the cost. But after the 110% price match only cost me $20!!! Plus I get a $10 rebate!!! I bought halflife game of year edition as well and PMd that for $20 and used $10 off $40 coupon so cost me $32 with tax for keyboard and game - $10 rebate!!

I already had the MS Natural keyboard, but couldnt pass this up if only for the 2 USB ports in the back of the keyboard, I needed a USB hub and this will do just fine!! Plus all the new buttons to play with on the top!!

Hmm, indeed... Too bad that don't have the Inet Pro at the same sort of discount (making it maybe $10-15) - I don't like the "ergo" keyboards...
