Its actually pretty simple. Price match both these items at staples with Buy.com prices. Then use the 20 off 50 coupon for each of them. Each of these then become about 30. I made these purchases back when they had the 25 off 50. Got the Explorer Mouse and the Natural Keyboard each for bout 25-30. GREAT DEAL when in reality each of these cost about 60-70.

Is this for Staples.com or for the real stores? If it's for Staples.com, where do you enter pricematch information? Thanks.

It is staples.com. What you have to do is call them at 1800STAPLES and then make the price match through CS, you should give them the staples coupon number and make the order through them as well.

I am not sure if they still have the same post, but I bought my Microsoft Natural Pro USB keyboard from buy.com after requesting a pricematch from egghead.com....egghead had it listed for $39.95, while buy.com had it for like $50.00+ ...this was about 3 weeks ago, but worth a check if you are interested in doing a pricematch @ OD


...I'd check prices, but I just woke-up and a bit lazy until I get about 12 cups of coffee me =)

NICE!!!

I just called up Staples & pricematched egghead ($49.99). They didn't even add on the $6.95 that egghead charges for shipping.

I got the keyboard & a 12-pack of pens for $32.73 shipped.

Not too shabby. Thanks for the idea, "hongkongwong." :)

Doing it through buy.com will incur the ~7.45 S&H fee. I just ordered the mouse & keyboard for the system I'm building and I paid about $42 for each. If you decide to do this deal, look for places without shipping & handling - try Egghead.com like the person suggested. Also, unless you are buying other things, just make two orders because you can't use two coupons on the same order.

Well, when everyone gets theirs, tell if how to get the USB ports to work...plugged the joystick and mouse in there, and they are not being recognized....I only played with it for a few minutes, but got lazy....And, the speedkey.exe that loads at startup (let's you use the 19 blue "hotkeys" on top) causes one beep and a critical stop .wav to be played...everything works fine, but the executable file plays makes the annoying sound...wonder if there's a fix for this...
