I was browsing my local Target and came across a keyboard for only $1! Plenty of stock too at Pacfic Fair, Gold Coast.

    Good deal however that keyboard looks incredibly mushy.

    I got a nicer keyboard (A4 Tech but the keys are more tactile and defined) for $2 from MSY last year.

      Honestly, it's a dollar!

      • blighst on 30/04/2016 - 13:40

        But if you're buying it for permanent use as a keyboard you may want to pay another couple of dollars for something nicer.

          That is something which is automatically considered by those spending 100 cents on a keyboard, don't you think?

    It is a bargain, but if I've learned anything over many years of computing, the parts of a computer you interact with are the parts worth spending money on.

    My first PC I spent all the money on innards and got the cheapest possible mouse, keyboard, monitor and speakers, but over time I found it was well worth getting quality ones.

    I looked these a few weeks ago at my local Target. They are nasty.

    Whilst OK as a temporary spare, it's similar to toilet paper - not something where "cheaper is better".

    Is this good for gaming ?

    • avgbowlofpho on 30/04/2016 - 13:00

      For gamers no

      For ozbargain gamers yes

    • AssociatedRaynes @ Target Australia on 30/04/2016 - 13:41

      'Slim and sleek' design and compatible with Windows Vista, so yes.

          Note: you will need to roll back to Vista in order to take advantage of the performance improvement.

          Perhaps worth running a special VM, just for hard core use of this input device?

        • Zaddo on 30/04/2016 - 17:09

          You know the keyboard shortcuts for solitaire? And I thought I was a super geek….

          JV should become a pro Gamer like Fatal1ty and start getting sponsored by Target gaming peripherals.

  • Associatedlgacb08 @ Target Australia on 30/04/2016 - 12:52

    Target also has the wireless one for $2

    • jv on 30/04/2016 - 13:01

      Shouldn't it be cheaper if they don't have to supply the wire ?

      • Associatedlgacb08 @ Target Australia on 30/04/2016 - 13:06

        Yeah, but battery do cost more.

        jv please use common sense. A wireless transmitter/receiver is more expensive than a metre long cable.

          A wireless transmitter/receiver is more expensive than a metre long cable.

          Not sure it justifies doubling the price…

    They also have the wireless mouse for $0.50, bought one a few days ago and it has already stopped working.

    Not too sure how good the wired keyboards are however.

        omg i am crying, read the replies to the 2nd comment: "i'm just gonna put it out there and this might hit a few chords with people, but does this seem a little bit on the homo erotic side?"

        oh… haha, that made my day, in a no homo way.

      You don't need to say "do a Broden" all you need to say is "Broden the store"

    The first thing I thought of when I saw the photo of the keyboard was playing Scrabble.

    I bought a $3 black AV Labs one from Harvey Norman back in January and by two months later half the key markings were worn off. I tried replacing with characters with liquid paper but that lasted a day or two and probably made me a little sick.

    • [Deactivated] on 03/05/2016 - 17:32

      Those who can type do not need to look at the keys.

  • KaTst3R on 04/05/2016 - 15:45

    Interesting color choice tho. The makers must have thought pink would sell better.
