Continuing my “Deal of the Week” series, in which I scour the ads in the Sunday paper to find the best deals…<\/p>\n
This week’s Deal of the Week is the Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop 5000, a wireless keyboard and mouse combo. It normally runs for $99.95 but Office Depot has it on sale this week for $49.95 ($59.95 plus $10 mail-in rebate). It’s a good opportunity to eliminate some wires from your desktop, and users seem to especially like the feel of the mouse in their hand. It also provides one-touch access to photo-editing and screen magnifying features.<\/p>\n
The Microsoft Wireless Laser Desktop 6000 is also on sale for $49.95, but reviews on the Web seem to indicate that the Optical Desktop 5000 is better put together and a more comfortable product to use.<\/p>\n
One word of caution: Other devices that emit electrical current can interfere with the wireless signal. My manager at work has a wireless keyboard\/mouse, and sometimes his telephone cord gets in the way and knocks the signal out. So if your wireless keyboard suddenly stops working, it’s not necessarily a sign that it’s defective; you may just need to move some things around on your desk.<\/p>\n
Back next Sunday with another deal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
