THANKS WOOT FOR BEING THERE FOR US

I'm right there with you, these will be for the work computers. And our scanners have to link up with the keyboards, and our scanners are ps/2, so perfect!!!

I so do....

Actually I have 2 w00t accounts i'm in for 6

Anyone know how these keyboards feel? Are they clicky, spongy, or what? If they're reasonably solid I might consider this, but if they're just generic and plasticy feeling, then I won't bother.

HOME ROW+ED!!!!

Scenario:
Bandolier of Carrots appears on the screen.
I click on the "I want one" button
I am routed to the purchase page
After typing my password and selecting 3, I am given an error message.
I smash my keyboard on the desk with frustration.
Moments later, I have another ps/2 keyboard plugged in and ready for action.

Excellent woot. Always looking out for the consumer.

amen halleleya

hmm interesting game comes to mind. buy 3 get 30 keyboards. paint all the keys white and then assign random alphabet amongst the entire set. how many keys does it take to type your name?

Finally, a woot worthy of Vishnu.

These would make great movie props if you had to film 30 keyboard-ruining spit takes.

I'm in for a 10-pack. I'm friends with a guy that owns a computer store, and I could easily pawn the remaining 8 that I won't use on him for $20. My grandma needs a new keyboard and so does my sister, so they will pretty much pay for themselves. Good woot!

By the way, anybody wanting to sell these on ebay...don't even bother.

The keys can be pried off to replace missing Scrabble tiles.

Hmm, now there's a thought. I have had the same keyboard for years and I've worn all of the most frequently typed letters off. I wouldn't use the new ones, I've been switched over to a split ergonomic board for ages, but I can see me prying off letters and replacing worn out ones til the end of time with 10 spares!

Way to go, Woot!

why did they pick 10? why 10 keyboards?
why not 9? or 11?

i'll tell you why.. because 10 sounds official. 10 sounds important.

Holy party-favors Batman!!

Guess what the little buggers on my street are getting for Halloween next year!?!

Trick or Treat!

so if I order 3 I will get 30 keyboards? Wow! what a deal!

Wow, if these were USB they would be amazing...but I agree it would be worth buying these to destroy them

What's even crazier is the price for the same 10 keyboards on Amazon.

you can value your charitable contribution at fair market value only if you've held the donated item for a year or more prior to making the gift

Congrats WOOT..i hate the product but i love the description. pure genius.

Woot has cornered the market on these.

30 keyboards for 59 dollars ... that ... that's crazy talk
for all those wooteres out there that must check woot during their showers
F5 in the tub

Buy 30 keyboards, get 30 monkeys, they'll be typing out classics before you can say "Gone with the wootoff!".

PRANK TIME. Keyboard made entirely of f12 keys.

YESSSSSSSS!

You can never have enough keyboards.

a quick glace at sold ones and found penny listings with s/h ranging from $6.95 - $10.95 (not for exact same kb, but most consumers imho only see 'keyboard', not brand, quality, etc.)

Wow. These keyboards are almost disposable with that many in a pack..

For me it goes right up there with the heated windshield wiper fluid

I'd get this one for sure, if only I still used keyboards for waterskiing. Oh, the memories.

This WOOT is POOT!!!

But I have 11 computers without keyboards, should I buy 20?

I have 8 keyboards already (not counting the 3 in use). should i buy more? I really dont think i need any more - laf!

Oh good lord... Woot, you are insane.
