Seen so many deals on K400R recently but looks like this is far better compared to what posted recently. Looks like normal price in office works so get 5% off on top of it in office work. I bought one from Melbourne and happy to post receipt if anyone need it for price match
………
Driving currently, will post receipt in an hour… If I can control my ozbargainMania to stop checking site while driving and reach home alive😜
………..

Ok lost it… my ozbargain community is more important . Receipt is attached for better copy please wait for an hour

    Posting a receipt would be fantastic. Did it look like a store special or something wider?

    Need something like this for my HTPC. So hopeless trying to use a wireless mouse on the couch. :P

    • QuickToThePointless on 29/04/2015 - 15:57

      If u have an iphone and home wifi try using hipporemote… Never use the mouse for htpc again

      • xyron on 29/04/2015 - 16:00

        No iPhone but we have a lounge room iPad…wonder if it'd work. I still think I'd prefer something simpler like this AIO keyboard - housemates aren't as technically literate :p

    • niagraBzO on 29/04/2015 - 16:24

      not sure but from price tag it does not look like on special. It was not in the clearance section as well.

        I installed Unified Remote and it works great for me so I ended up buying the Full version. I finally find something worth buying with my free reward credit. Thanks ozhunter.

  • Darkscythe on 29/04/2015 - 16:02

    Wow! That's an incredible price. I thought I'd got it cheap for $28 a while ago.

  • WoodenSpoon on 29/04/2015 - 16:03

    • daewoo on 29/04/2015 - 16:17

      I have two of these (one is the non-"r" version). They are the best thing i've bought, one in each lounge room. I've had one of them for several years without an issue.

      • scud70 on 29/04/2015 - 16:18

        dunno what an R n non R version is … just saying mine sometimes you have to pretty much punch the button for it to work, and i BARELY ever used it.. very very very rarely :) glad yours is ok

        • gawky on 29/04/2015 - 16:32

          R version was made after win8 came out so it is windows 8 "compatible".
          No real difference other than that. Both should work all the same.

        • cornbeef on 29/04/2015 - 21:31
          +6

          I thought the R version was when you use the keyboard - lights off - on your own - late at night

        • eug on 30/04/2015 - 03:17

          @gawky: The non-R version's F-keys are standard F-keys with secondary functions like play/pause/etc. The R version has it reversed - you have to press the Fn button to use F1 F2 F3 etc.

    • dazweeja on 29/04/2015 - 16:17
      +3

      I have two of these and no problems using the mouse and buttons on either. Not sure if distance/range is an issue with these? I'm using mine about 5m away.

      • scud70 on 29/04/2015 - 16:20

        no its not distance, just the buttons or tapping the pad :) using it now temporarily with a pc about 50 cm away hehehe same problem.. its my spare when i have no choice keyboars/mouse :) hehehe

        • foxmulder on 30/04/2015 - 14:46

          Most likely then you have a faulty one try to get replacement for it?

    • QuickToThePointless on 29/04/2015 - 16:26

      I have had one for 2 years plus and works perfectly. Try new batteries - there is nothing wrong with these units.

      • scud70 on 29/04/2015 - 16:29
        +1

        please read below various other comments on the quality.. :) its hit and miss.. some are good some are not… just pointing it out, again glad yours are fine :)

        • QuickToThePointless on 29/04/2015 - 16:47
          +1

          I mean there is nothing inherently wrong with these units - like eveything else its an issue of quality control…sometimes you get bad batches and you will need to exchange until you get a working unit

    • ameno on 29/04/2015 - 20:54

      They do feel extremely cheap but its about as good as you can get at the moment for a compact htpc keyboard and mouse combo.

  • tianyujojo on 29/04/2015 - 16:15

    Got it from shoppingexpress 4 months ago for $35 delivered and thought it was a good price. This price is incredible.

  • Zondor on 29/04/2015 - 16:15
    +1

    Be aware this keyboard is janky as hell. Nice cause it's cheap, but the trackpad sometimes refuses to work till you scrub half your fingers off on your shirt. Also sometimes it just pushes random buttons instead of the ones you want.

    • tianyujojo on 29/04/2015 - 16:17
      +3

      Mine works fine with my htpc. No issues so far.

      • Lukian on 29/04/2015 - 16:47

        The touchpad can be a bit temperamental, but there's nothing similar in this price range for a decent wireless combo.

        I usually get the buttons (keys?) I want, but it's nothing like a mechanical keyboard.

        • eug on 30/04/2015 - 03:23
          +2

          but there's nothing similar in this price range for a decent wireless combo.

          I prefer the $9 Microsoft All In One Media Keyboard. It feels more solid than my K400, the touchpad is larger, and the more spaced-out keys makes it easier to type.

          The cashback will probably only come back next year though!

  • rockmelon on 29/04/2015 - 16:21

    Just make sure you keep your receipt. My first K400 had dodgy left mouse button. But my replacement hasn't had an issue and I've had it for over 2 years.
    Even survived being used as an accidental seat.

    • rockmelon on 29/04/2015 - 16:28

      Mainly useful if you have a HTPC or want to be productive with tablet or even phone. Not sure if the trackpad works with IOS apple products.

      • WatchNerd on 29/04/2015 - 16:33

        How do you use it with a tablet & phone?

          OTG cable through micro USB.

      • ilikeradiohead on 29/04/2015 - 16:34

        I think I read a review of it which said it was compatible with apple, but rubbish. If there are any left at my local Aus Post I'll report back after testing it out.

      • ilikeradiohead on 30/04/2015 - 11:14

        Tried it out last night, trackpad and keys work, not sure about mac specific keys though, I also wanted to recalibrate the trackpad because it seems more sluggish than the apple one, but I closed it and couldn't figure out how to get it running again :/

The fact that Im already asking should suggest that to you, or at least prompt you to provide ideas on how such a keyboard could be used. But no, you thought an "oh look at me I know what to do with these keyboards but wont bother sharing anything useful about them and rather just make a smart arse comment" response would be better.

        I picked the keyboard up off the shelf, walked up to the counter, and asked if they could price match Australia Post. I showed the guy OP's photo, he checked the model numbers were the same and said it was fine. Quite simple really. :)

        Maybe try asking another staff member at a different time, or if there's another store nearby, try them. If all else fails, go to Australia Post and forego the extra $1 saving. Mind you that'll soon be the price of a stamp…

      • rsop on 30/04/2015 - 13:18
