Default Micro Innovations keyboard $30

I thought I'd post this deal here, since I'm a Dell owner and PPCThoughts has no "Hot Deals" forum.

Starting tomorrow at CompUSA, you can get a Micro Innovations (same as Pocketop) wireless IR keyboard for $29.99 + tax!!!

$99.99
($20.00) instant savings
($20.00) price break
($30.00) Mail in rebate

$29.99 + tax

But don't ask me what the difference is between instant savings and a price break!

For the same price, you can get a number of Ambicom products, like a CF modem, cf wi-fi card, cf bluetooth card or a bluetooth USB adapter.

PRETTY COOL!

There's no Hot Deals forum? What about this forum? :-)

The ad doesn't say, probably from tomorrow until next Sunday.

Cool, thanks for the tip. Hope it does not take to long too get the rebate. Has anyone used this with the Axim? How well does it work?

Sorry Steve, that forum is only for affiliates. The description says "Our affiliate partners duel for your dollars with their best hardware & software deals." FYI, here's a thread to a discussion on the need for a Hot Deals forum.

Nice try though. :wink:

I've read that it works best in landscape mode with the Dell. Is that true? Will it work just as well in standing straight up?

Grr, does anyone know what Compuka's price match policy is? Unfortantly, I think I have had mine too long to get them to honor their new price

I know none of the major tech stores around here (best buy, circuit city, comp usa) price match with online retailers, only with other local physical stores.

And the problem with this keyboard is that because of the Axim's narrow IR reception, the only ways to get it to work with an IR keyboard is either to use landscape mode or to set up some kind of rig with a mirror to make the connect. So it's been posted in here anyway.
