Apple Wired Keyboard (PM at FS/BB)

[fuzzfuzz]

The Apple Store has the Apple Wired Keyboard with Numeric Keypad at its regular price of 59,00$:

For some reason, both Future Shop and Best Buy are trying to sell the same keyboard for, respectively, 79,99$ and 78,99$. I personally love this keyboard (I use one on my Mac Mini) and just replaced my Vista machine's keyboard with one. I price matched at Future Shop and got the keyboard for 58,09$ before taxes. While this isn't really a "hot" deal, it's decent for those in areas with no Apple Store - and, quite frankly, keyboards with dual USB ports are amazingly uncommon these days, for some weird reason.

Does not matter if you don't have a Apple store near you, Apple will ship it for free.

Yes, but if you want it *now* PMing is probably the best option

I think what he was getting at is for the sake of the PM, BB/FS might say that apple charges for shipping.
-Edit: Ehh scratch that. I didn't read OP thoroughly enough.
I hardly think that "They're not an authorized retailer" is a valid excuse for a product like this.

You gonna pay $60 for regular wired keyboard and call it a "good" deal. I would say $60 even expensive for a bluetooth one.

OP, try to use a "." instead of a "," when it comes to typing out prices it makes a big difference expecially when it comes to giving tips on a bill. lol

I like this keyboard but too bad its wired and sucks that the wireless one doesn't come with a number pad

[devil2k]

My local BB would say "unless Apple offers same day shipping..." who knows, they'll probably pull shxt like "Apple is not an authorized dealer" lol

In Quebec we use comma "," instead of point "." to separate decimals. This is a french/ european standard. The rest of Canada should use them too, since we are a "metric" country. As well as we have to use centimeters and meters and kg instead of old pounds and inches.

It's not exactly a "regular" keyboard... it's made out of aluminum.

For that price, this is way overpriced like most Apple products. If it was closer to $20/30 I'd consider it. Right now I'll stick with my $9 Logitech

yea. i agree. this keyboard is win. so many functions. the G keys can be wired to any function, llaunch any combinations of script, hotkey. and for 1 profile you can have 3x6= 18 combinations. and you can have different profiles. the LCD can be modified to display your computer temp, cpu, space, usage, network usage. win key can be disabled when you play games. mute sound in a single key, media control, the keyboard provides 2 additional usb ports, backlit.

apple keyboard = fail

I'm not a fan of Apple products just because they might be well-designed, functional, sturdy, and have a great warrantee, but also because that space junk above is really, really ugly. Like I said, not just because the Apple keyboard makes that look like unfortunate debris.
