Computer Alliance have dropped their prices for the last few days of the Microsoft Cashback this year.
Pick up makes these a bargain. Shipping prices sort of dampen it a bit. Please see original Microsoft Cashback post for more information and discussion regarding the cash back.

Microsoft Wedge Wireless Mobile Bluetooth Keyboard - $1 after $40 cashback (previously $49 until current sale)

Microsoft Xbox 360 and PC wireless gaming Controller - $9 after $20 cashback (previously $39 until current sale)

Plenty of others as well. However the ones above are ones I know are the best deals.
http://www.computeralliance.com.au/microsoft-cash-back?s=1

Limit of 1 per customer of each item at these prices. Last day eligible for purchase is 1/2/15. Claim by 20/2/15.

Maximum of 3 claims per person according to the Microsoft web site T&Cs https://www.microsoft.com.au/cashback/

  If you just browse the site rather than the links with s=1 on the end it comes up with the old price.
daver on 30/01/2015 - 17:51

25 after posted? Or rather $17 to NSW compared with earlier in Jan I ordered.

Is it $40 cashback or 40% cashback, has $40 in title on site but everything else 40% or is it both?

  40% cashback off RRP. Which happens to be $40 cashback also

Delivery kills the deal. Just received 2 of these delivered from Dick Smith for just over $15 (after cashback)

  For the wedge KB?

OrbDaggerZ on 30/01/2015 - 17:58

Bugger, its $15 post to Vic it seems, so $16 for wedge KB.
Looking at site, it shows the wired & wireless X360 controller as $8 & $9 after cash back??
or am I missing something?

I purchased these two items from them about 2 weeks ago and they are sitting unopened on the desk. Think I'll just have to wear this one.

    Delivery? I can walk to the store.
    
    It's the usual complaint about Computer Alliance - a small Brisbane retailer. It's a rare bonus for locals, when many other attractive deals can be picked up free by our Sydney & Melbourne OzBargain brethren.
    - daver on 30/01/2015 - 19:16
      
      Well the overall cost yes. And it came down fast after DS advertised so not all bad.
      Your unopened $1, not from online? Enjoy your local perk.

the cashback site doesnt say 40 dollars, it says 40%?
How is this 1$?

Bloody hell. My housemate is building a computer for gaming soon, so I showed him this. Picking up an Xbox Controller + receiver, a wireless kb + mouse, and an all in one keyboard and mouse for $81. Then he'll get $60 cashback.

      @Ahan:
      Thanks! That saved me a trip.
      I suspected there may be a rush tonight or low stock at OW. Was too lazy to race out to save $4 tonight. Will pick up my order at CA.
    - Ahan on 30/01/2015 - 22:44
      
      @brucefromaustralia:
      It's still in stock online though..
    - INFIDEL on 30/01/2015 - 22:53
      
      @Ahan:
      Yes, $79!
      I checked a few hours ago - seemed available for order at Garden City. Of course that may mean an out of stock / backorder message, or receipt dated after Cashback final date.
      
      I have to pass by Computer Alliance to get to nearest OW at Garden City, so not worth bothering with price match discount for me.

Good deal on the wedge and wireless xbox controller if you live close by. Ended up with a Wedge for $49, and my wireless xbox controllers were all $37.

  Takes up to 60 days for cash back to appear in your nominated bank account. Should be no problems if the claim was done properly.

    are you supposed to get some sort of confirmation email?
    - IceCreamBandit on 30/01/2015 - 22:48
      
      I received an email from [email protected] the day I made the claim saying the following:
      
      Thanks!
      Your 40% cash back request has been received and will be processed promptly by Microsoft's fulfillment centre. Provided your claim is validated, you will be entitled to receive 40% cash back on your purchase.
      
      Your confirmation number for your entry is:
      XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
      Your 40% cash back will be deposited to your specified bank account within 60 days. For help redeeming your 40% cash back, please call 1800 233 033 between 9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday, or email [email protected].

If you purchase this now, it will not be processed until Monday which is outside the cashback dates…..

Or is this not the case?
It says on my confirmation email that this will be processed on 2nd of Feb therefore not possible to get cashback
- c64 on 30/01/2015 - 19:36
  
  says "might not". if it doesn't get processed tomorrow morning then i will cancel the order.

  I got the free small Bluetooth keyboard from Ezibuy deal months ago. Thought it would be good with my Android phone (I do all my text entry & post from it) and Android tablet, but couldn't be bothered using it. It's just easier to use a good keyboard App on screen.
  
  But I'm picking up one of these, just in case I want to leave it on my desk. It will work with Android devices.

Does anybody have an idea what form to send Microsoft? The Paypal receipt doesn't show the item names purchased, only the total, while the email from Computer Alliance shows the Paypal payment as 'pending'. I've got another email showing that it's dispatched, but surely I cant use that…
- iridiumstem on 30/01/2015 - 20:53
  
  Don't they send tax invoices with your goods? I am not sure about Computer Alliance, but most, if not all, of the retailers I've used sent me those. Maybe that's the one that we use?
  
  I am not sure, since this is the first time I am using MS cashback :S

  When I bought from CA they didn't send me a tax invoice but to purchase you had to create an account with CA. You could then log in and download your tax invoice. I sent the CA tax invoice to MS for cash back.

Stupid question, but does the 360 wireless controller need any adapter for PC?
Does it come with one?
MS site says requirements include 'Powered USB port'

  the wireless 360 controller for windows includes a USB wireless dongle
  - nathan-drake on 30/01/2015 - 22:50
    
    the title says for xbox and PC, the product description says "for windows". So it does have an included adapter right?
