It's a genuine company mate - Massive.

They supply a lot of the traders and the people who do these computer fairs.

I was talking about ebuyer, not the brand of items.

They are along the same lines as Komplett.

Yep I know, have bought from them before. Guy that started ebuyer also started Choice Peripherals which later became Insight.

But if they got the price wrong, there is a get out clause in their T&Cs

Labtech are probably best known for their headsets/mics. They make some of the best ones around.

I doubt it's a mistake as I recieved it in an email offer from them along with one or two other nice deals.

Personnaly I don't see the fascination with cordless keyboards, I can't see the screen if I lean back let alone move away from the desk!!!!!

I suppose it makes for a tidy desk.

I only use Dell or Logitech parts myself.

I don't think it was a mistake either - it featured on the Weekend Specials e-mail I got from them this morning.

They had 1502 in stock then

So you'd rather keep buying batteries rather than charging one set up then si?

If your poor surely rechargeable batteries work out a lot cheaper in the long run? A charger is sub £20 these days and the batteries aint much.

I buy most of my stuff from ebuyer. Exchange policy is a bit of a pest, I've just sent back my second set of memory, but the rest is excellent price and very quick service.

I also got the mail, but I want them in black.... to go with the 18inch NEC monitor I bought from them for £520!

For whoever it was that said that LABTECH are best know for speakers, I think you mean LABTEC. The ebuyer thing may be a steal, but it is a complete no name company. Still at that price, it's disposable!
