Warm? MS Internet Keyboard Pro & Wheel Mouse Optical $44.99 shipped + $20 MIR

[tukka]

My first post on these forums, be gentle.

I found this one at amazon.com. I've been in the market for both of these items, and this seems to be by far the best deal I've found yet.

$49.99 -- Microsoft Internet Keyboard Pro & Wheel Mouse Optical
- 5.00 -- $5 off $35+ coupon code
0.00 -- Free shipping on advertised specials
--------
$44.99 -- Shipped
- 20.00 -- Manufacturer mail in rebate
---------
$24.99 -- Total

Not a poor deal, in my opinion. The mouse itself usually sells for around $40 and I haven't been able to find it anywhere for less than 30. Enjoy.

Edit: Fixed the links, wasn't sure how to do them right in this forum.

That aint bad...

That deal has been floating around for the last two months or so.
There have been many postings for that.

KNOW that is a wheel mouse optical..so it has that stupid ball

The intellimouse optical on the other hand...is a lot better

I have the Internet Keyboard Pro..the keyboard nice..but waht is realyl nice are those extra USB ports!

haha

Nice first post..

Thank you!

I bought this setup from buy.com a month ago, same price plus shipping. Then a relative's keyboard died and I had to give up my new one. Have one on order from buy.com for two weeks at a slightly higher cost. With buy.com's troubles looks like I may not get it and I really need the keyboard soon.

I don't understand xdjopmx's complaint about the mouse or your post at all. There is no ball in this mouse-its optical and works fine for me. And I have certainly not seen this deal posted before and have been on the lookout for it.

Thanks for the post.

Ah, apologies about the repost, then. Did a search on Internet Keyboard and left it at that. I guess I have to figure out how to use it better, also.

I used to have a normal MS Internet Keyboard and liked it, but ruined it with some spilled soda or something. The USB ports and extra hot keys ought to be nice.

And thanks.

Sam's Club has this for $45 and they have a MIR for $15, good thru 8/30. The MIR from Sam's Club does NOT require the original UPC.

I didn't see any restrictions on the MS Rebate form related to purchases made from Sam's Club, but us old geezers have poor eyesight. $10 for the pair, after MIR, would be pretty hot.

 

[xdjopmx]

Ahh.. That would be pretty hot to get both for 10 bucks each!

The Internet Keyboard Pro by itself with anything ..runs for 49.99

and the Wheel Mouse Optical ..29.99

Now that would be a nice deal

Tukka -

There are two usb ports...fyi. It's nice. I have my Intellimouse and my palm 505 connected out of them. No probs at all

Thanks, for a second there I was worried about the mouse ball thing, I did have it mixed up with the Intellimouse, but the only difference between the WheelMouse and the Intellimouse optical seems to be that the Intellimouse has four buttons plus the wheel, while the WheelMouse just has the two buttons and the wheel. I think I can do without the other two buttons.

Thanks, Buy.com has had this out of stock for about 2 weeks.

PS: Does anyone know of any combinations that i could use the 10 of 65 coupon with?

 

[JJordan]

Do these optical mice work well for games like Quake3 and Unreal Tourney ??? I am having trouble with my old standard intellimounse and need a new one.

I was at Sams yesterday and they had a load of these. You'll need the Original rebate form, from Sams Club, but this scan may help. Actually, you can get up to 3 $15 rebates.

The linky to the rebate on Amazon's page didn't print out so well since it's a GIF format.

Here's a better PDF link to the rebate on Buy.com's page.

Thanks for the repost, saw the earlier post w/ the deal on buy.com's page, but shipping made it less appealing.

 

[tsee]

Tekbargain only shows a $5 off $30 coupon for books, etc. Can someone point me to the $5 off $35 -tukka- mentioned? Thanks.

 

[tukka]

Ableshoppers.com has a few $5 off $35+ coupon codes listed that work for all items.

 

[wluk]

got the bundle for a month or so. the keyboard is very quiet and the mouse is extremely smooth. bump for the great products.

 

[j24u]

The Sam's deal is only for the Internet Keyboard and mouse - not the Internet Keyboard Pro

The difference between the Pro and regular Internet Keyboard is the addition of 2 USB ports on the Pro Keyboard

I thought Optical means no ball ??

 

[Thump553]

As j24u mentioned, the Sam's Club deal is for a lesser keyboard-their's doesn't have the USB ports on the keyboard. Also the Sam's Club bundle has a $15 rebate, not this $20 one. The Amazon deal is a better product for $5 cheaper (after rebate).

 

[spugbrap]

Thanks for the great deal, tukka! I actually just decided last night that I really needed a new mouse, and $25 is around what I expected I'd have to pay for a decent one. Your post helped me get a bonus of a nice, new keyboard, too. The USB ports ought to come in handy, since my box only has ports in the back and it's a pain to plug things in and out of.

And thank you for posting the link to the PDF version of the rebate form, koolhand... I was sitting here struggling to try and even read the mailing address on the stupid GIF version on amazon. I had hoped that printing it out at 1200dpi on a laser printer might make it more readable, but no such luck! The PDF is big and perfectly clear, though, so I'm happy.

I wish the mouse in this package was the Intellimouse Optical instead of the Wheel mouse Optical. The extra buttons on the Intellimouse are very nice to have. Also I know the Intellimouse Opticals have the 5 year warranty. I am not sure on the wheel mouse optical.

Still a nice deal if all the rebates come out ok.
