Deal of the Week | Jan. 31, 2014: 104-Key Multimedia Large-Print USB Keyboard for $9.99

104-Key Large-Print Multimedia USB Keyboard for $9.99Most large-print keyboards look like something bolted down under a sneeze guard in a kindergarten classroom.

Garish, ugly, misbegotten creations, devoid of spark, of style, of flair.

And functional? Let’s talk functional: This keyboard sports 15 dedicated hot keys, specifically designed to make your life easier. Navigate back or forward a page in your browser. Control the volume. Go straight to your default home page. All with a single, mouse-free keystroke.

And this week, we’re cutting the price of this already very affordable keyboard in half. Normally selling for $20, the DOTW price is an astonishing $9.99.
