    Guys just a question: Wireless vs Wired keyboard/mouse - Which is better?

    • bargained on 20/12/2014 - 15:48
      +57

      Yes

    • lostn on 20/12/2014 - 18:02

      If you have cord problems, then wireless. But there might be signal problems if there receiver and mouse are blocked by obstacles, such as your desktop case. And also battery life needs to be considered.

      Professional gamers never use wireless stuff for whatever reason.

    • merill on 20/12/2014 - 19:19
      +1

      Wireless is the de-facto going forward (except for gaming, but then you won't buy a Microsoft mouse/kb for gaming). The battery lasts for at least a year on these so it is a non-issue.

    • accessdenied on 24/12/2014 - 09:08

      I'll answer it with a counter question. mobile phone or land line ? which is better?

    • The Gent on 25/12/2014 - 02:15

      What are you using it for?

      I'd always say wired based on no need to consider battery life and it's just better for gaming with the signal delay and such.

  • davedrastic on 20/12/2014 - 15:19

    Just before I put an order through - can I make sure I understand this correctly

    I can order 3 x Microsoft K/Board & Mouse on the same order with one of the listed suppliers, then I submit the scanned receipt 3 times on the Microsoft website?

    And the maximum is 3 items to be ordered in total. I couldn't make a 2nd order?

    I could get my wife to do a 2nd order to a different address - that would work wouldn't it?

    • wisc on 21/12/2014 - 09:39

      Yes, and can't see why the wife couldn't claim from a different address…

      • davedrastic on 21/12/2014 - 13:09
        +1

        Yep - I think so too - it's says 3 claims per PERSON - so I think the same address is fine too - I think just a different name and a different bank account. Anyhow, I've ordered 3 items. Might order another 3 in wifeys name, see how we go.

    I think the RRP for the Wireless Xbox 360 Controller for Windows (SKU JR9-00012) is incorrectly listed at $49.95 instead of $59.95. Even Microsoft themselves are selling it for $59.95 (see here: http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msaus/en_AU/pdp/Xbox-360…).

    This means the cashback amount is $4 lower than it should be ($20 instead of $24), unless I am missing something.

    • ProdigyInspired on 20/12/2014 - 18:25

      There's three different controllers.

      Wireless w/o Dongle.
      Wireless.
      Wired

      Wireless w/o Dongle is $60 RRP
      Wireless is $50 RRP.

      Unsure why they don't list all three, they only listed Wireless w/o Dongle and Wired.

      • [Deactivated] on 20/12/2014 - 20:18
        +1

        Why is the one without the dongle an extra $10?

      • Soul Beaver on 20/12/2014 - 20:25

        That's strange. I brought 3 wireless Xbox 360 controllers from Umart and they all came with a dongle each. However the product code on the receipt matches the one on the Microsoft cashback list: JR9-00012. Have Umart made a mistake in their processing?

        • ProdigyInspired on 22/12/2014 - 23:01

          The Dongle I'm talking about is the PC USB Adapter. Unless there's another dongle?

      • Halex on 20/12/2014 - 22:15

        I don't think there's such a thing as a wireless controller for windows without a dongle, as that would just be a regular 360 controller (and they are excluded from the cashback).

    Thanks OP. Just got back from MSY, picking up the Desktop 3000 bundle.

          Seriously? What's it to HN if MSY were eligible or not?

          Or is this their usual dodgy practices that if MSY weren't eligible they wouldn't price match them as they know that after cashback it'd be cheaper through them for the buyer and they still get to keep their fat margin on it?

        • Olokun on 21/12/2014 - 08:39

        The SKU for this mouse from Computer Alliance is also 7MP-00006. Why would cashback for this item be excluded from MSY but included for Computer Alliance?

      • Crownie on 20/12/2014 - 18:00

        That's the 7MP-00007.
        MSY do the 7MP-00006.
        Computer Alliance have the RVF-00054 like MSY and they don't mention cashback as SKU (for cashback) is Arc Touch Mouse RVF-00005.

        • oak on 20/12/2014 - 19:33

          There is no 00007 - even on the Microsoft store the code is 00006 - which says 40% cash on the page. I think it's a typo

  • lostn on 20/12/2014 - 17:59

    Can you still buy the 360 controllers with the transformable d-pads (in other words, the d-pads that work)?

    • Merlict on 20/12/2014 - 20:05

      Isn't the twisting version the latest / most common?

      Unless they dropped it to save a few cent which would suck.

      • lostn on 20/12/2014 - 21:30

        Standard doesn't have it. It was a limited edition run. You can still buy some Chromes out there which have it, but they cost more. I think those were limited editions too.

        Well, for starters a micro transceiver would be nice, and how about mice that work on glass, or perhaps a backlit keyboard?

        They are 40% cashback for a reason, I hazard a guess, because the are really old?

          That doesn't make them automatically bad?

          There are many models that are old that everyone sort of uses because they work?

          Also some of the models there are fairly recently released, at least not 10 years old, so your point about them being old is sorta moot.

          Just saying. As long as they don't charge more than what they worth, I think I am fine.

    RE: Wireless Xbox 360 Controller for Windows JR9-00012

    in Sydney and I checked every single company on the list. PLE comes in @ $30 + $10.96 shipping = $40.96 - cashback = $20.96 out of pocket

    however its better if you need 2 or the max of 3 claims

    I needed two and the shipping only rose to $11.74 total.

    the total out of pocket for two controllers delivered is = $31.74 (71.74 - 40)

    alot of the companies either don't sell any 360 controllers or sell the other model number that is for xbox only. (so just be mindful to check the model number)

    for those wondering the only difference between these and the xbox 360 wireless controllers are these come with an adapter that allow you play on your PC. However, if you don't need the adapter you can just leave it in the box. these are otherwise the same as the xbox 360 wireless controllers.

      It won't go away (and I think it's supported by any games that support 360 pads on PC), but it certainly won't ever be as popular as the 360 pads were/are on PC. You can only use it wired, for starters.
