At least on ole' "Chunky Man-Purse", I've seen people begging for a deal on the Logitech Elite...yeah, yeah...don't want to type it all. It's a great product(s), as it combines the MX 700 with the black/silver cordless keyboard seen elsewhere. The mouse alone is still expensive at places, so this seems good.

What you do is search froogle.com for a good deal. I found a place that offers free shipping, Ebuyer.com. Staples isn't even anal about how Ebuyer's is ground and Staples would probably be much faster. Pricematch it by digging into their policies at Staples.com. Came to 78.75 or something. Staples required me to phone in the order (only way they can correctly price it I guess) and I made sure she would take my coupon. Use the $15 off $75 found everywhere, w/ free shipping, and you get it for around $63-$65 dollars, a significantly less amount then the retail of $99.99.


You got a point there....it's been too long since I've posted on Anandtech. So many places ban actual references, like you're cheating them out or something....Hm, imagine that....

YMMV on this deal though. If you can get it to work, you get it for a good price, but PM/Coupon is not supposed to work anymore.

I've been drooling over this combo since the 1st day it was out.
Couldn't seem to find a low enough price.. I'm too cheap for this combo.

Just ordered one, used the $10 off $50 coupon because there was a problem with the $15 off $75 that I had. Got it for $72.12 shipped after CA tax, which is a good price on a great combo IMHO. CSR had no problem with the PM + Coupon. Going to my bro for his b-day. Thanks hobcat.

Went through Live Chat session, but the 15$ off 75$ coupon I tried to use wouldnt work either, so I used a 10$ off 50$ as well, and got it for about 71$

With so many posts on Staples coupons (including 15 off 75), did it JUST expire or something? $5 is $5....I know it doesn't work online, but a lot of times, a CSR will take it over the phone.

To answer some of your questions, from searching m-wave online, the price listed is 73.58 before tax and shipping(if applicable). I am not aware of any m-wave coupons, and PMing to m-wave didn't work when I tried it yesterday. CSR said that m-wave was not an authorized distributor or something like that.......

I ordered over the phone, and the CSR said that the $15 off $75 coupon code that I found posted in three seperate places on the net was only good for $10 off $100 and had something to do with packaging materials.

I had a $10 off $50 offhand and my brother's b-day is soon, so I used that one and it worked.
If there is a working $15 off $75 then the deal is hotter, but I didn't want to risk looking around and having to call back to another CSR who would possibly reject the PM + coupon.

Anyway, this PM was really easy to do and I am relatively new at this.
I still think it's a good deal. Maybe not smoking hot but it's what I was looking for and I appreciate the original post.

edit: spelling

Deal is good. Did it online with a Staples CSR, final price of ~$73.00 with $10 off $50

The 15 off 75 I saw everywhere on FW and the 'net was bad, according to the CSR. She said, "That coupon can only be used with a $100.00 purchase of perma products."

I type what I see, what I find. Perhaps I didn't address that in the best of ways. But, for your information, I am not a uber-geek like you (notice the name), so I don't run mine through a fine-toothed comb. The fact that you had time to reply with a sentence that benefits no one is sad. People need to learn that this is to the benefit of everyone. It's a good deal to me (and I am the deal-master), so deal with it.

P.S. Go look up "uber". God knows you don't know the true meaning.

This is the MX duo, not the cordless elite duo.
