@dave I want one but they are sold out. So if @medz perhaps no longer wants one based on corrected information if he does not and if you sell it to me, it will be win, win, win.
@caffeine_dude I don't suppose you'd do a straight-up trade for the bluetooth one, would ya? UPS says I can ship it for a bit over $10, so maybe $15 or $12? Otherwise I'm sure I'll find some use for it. Let me know if interested and we'll find a more discreet means of communication for our dealings. Edit: keyboard is an odd shaped box, so I'm not saving you much. If you REALLY need it, I could probably part with it at shipping cost, but you'd owe me. Big time.
I've owned one for 3 years, so far theres no issues with it other than the keys sometimes pop off and are a pita to place back. I'm pretty sure I've yet to change the batteries. It was rather comfortable to hold and easy to handle, range isn't bad either.
@Aorix You weren't kidding. Before I could use mine, I had to put the spacebar back on. It was loose in the plastic bag. Otherwise, the keyboard works fine.
@ChadP Fun fact of the day, sriracha is HUGE in the lesbian culture for some reason, or so I have been told by reliable sources. No joke, though I could think of a few..
Here's the problem... If I get this I'll have to sign up for the VMP shipping thingy. Then I'll have to buy every Meh for the next month so I can feel like I've gotten value for my five bucks. What to do. What to do.
@ruouttaurmind no, you only have to buy one more thing over the next month to make it pay for itself. It's just that you'll find yourself buying a bunch of things that you wouldn't have otherwise.
If this would control the: TV, soundbar, blu ray player, roku, chromecast, etc. I'd be all over it. Since it doesn't, it would just add to my remote collection. meh.
@Thumperchick LG webOS TVs might have the ability to do some of that from the keyboard, or at the very least from the original TV remote instead of having all those remotes at once.
@Wiicked08 i dont know the specifics of how but the magic remote can be configured to control things connected to the hdmi inputs.. Might have a look at the device connector app?
Well.. needed to replace the one that the kids lost the damn dongle to. Kids and dongles. They're always playing with them. Then things never work right after.
Has anybody notice that all the buyers are from 'blue' states? Is it that red states are too poor to even afford meh or are they emulating their wealthy leaders and distributing the bulk of their money among themselves? Curious minds wanna know (not really).
This keyboard came broken...but Meh in all their cheapness gave me a refund once I broke out the jaws of life on their tight-fisted Gringotts bargain vault. Meh rocks and they are welcome to sell me crap any day of the week!

Warranty
90 days
Ehh, I don't need it but reviews are decent and price is worthy of a refurb unit.
ehh I might meh. part of meh wants to buy
Where does my ipod plug in? And where are the speakers?
@slappywhite2001 they were yesterday.
Pumpkin color?
@RicoSuave Sorry, Black is just too cool to be bothered with fancy Pumpkin Color, unless you use a spray can.
@kylewood But... using spray paint would only result in.... sticky keys.
I love purple.
Roku doesn't work with USB keyboards...
@TheEndless Thanks, I've removed that bullet.
@dave boo. I pulled the trigger after seeing that. I haz a usb port on roku but thought it was just for media. I should trust my instincts.
@dave I want one but they are sold out. So if @medz perhaps no longer wants one based on corrected information if he does not and if you sell it to me, it will be win, win, win.
@caffeine_dude That would be awesome. Make it happen @dave! I believe in you.
@medz email halp@meh.com and we might be able to work something out.
@JonT sent last night. First experience with meh support. Let's see what happens...
@hollboll Didja get my email response regarding this keyboard situation?
@medz I replied! Maybe check spam folder?
@hollboll So you did! Thanks.
@caffeine_dude (glancing around all shifty like) So, can I interest you in a keyboard? I may have one I could part with for cheap.
@medz How much? I just bought the bluetooth keyboard the other day.
@caffeine_dude I don't suppose you'd do a straight-up trade for the bluetooth one, would ya? UPS says I can ship it for a bit over $10, so maybe $15 or $12?

@Aorix Really, are you fucking serious? IT'S A KEYBOARD! if the keys pop off that's a pretty big deal...
@Aorix You weren't kidding. Before I could use mine, I had to put the spacebar back on. It was loose in the plastic bag. Otherwise, the keyboard works fine.
I wish these were a niche mechanical style like my old IBM ones
they just feel so good to type on.
@WilhelmScreamer mechanical keyboards tend be pretty expensive nowadays
@WilhelmScreamer They tend to be pretty heavy too. I'm typing on a Model M and I can't imagine holding even a tenkeyless version for regular use.
Can I use this with a Sans a?
Will this work with my Sansamacidevicespeakerdoc?
@GFunk
Exactly what do they do to a keyboard to refurbish it? Are weirdass quarantine suits involved?
@gertiestn
@ChadP wow. That's mesmerizing.
@gertiestn That is good hot sauce by the way.
@ChadP Fun fact of the day, sriracha is HUGE in the lesbian culture for some reason, or so I have been told by reliable sources. No joke, though I could think of a few..
@TehMaliron gertiestn is one person's pseudo-tribute to Gertie Stein. If I do say so myself.
@gertiestn TIL who Gertie Stein was, thanks @gertiestn and Wikipedia! "There is no there there". My comment was oddly relevant, who knew?
The location of the backslash key is a crime against keyboardity.
@Cloudscout I am on a Mac. Why do you need to click on a backslash???
Here's the problem... If I get this I'll have to sign up for the VMP shipping thingy. Then I'll have to buy every Meh for the next month so I can feel like I've gotten value for my five bucks. What to do. What to do.
@ruouttaurmind start with investing in question marks. then. BUY EVERYTHING!
@ChadP Does one use question marks at the end of a rhetorical question.
@ruouttaurmind In most cases, yes. An exclamation point is also acceptable. If you were writing dialogue for a play, you could use a period.
@ruouttaurmind no, you only have to buy one more thing over the next month to make it pay for itself. It's just that you'll find yourself buying a bunch of things that you wouldn't have otherwise.
@ruouttaurmind Didn't your second comment need a question mark
@ChadP
@ruouttaurmind That is a tough question that can only be answered by the magic eight Ball.
@kylewood Magic 8 Ball says: "Doesn't look promising"
@TehMaliron I met that guy in Vegas. I have my picture with him. He was literally walking down the street in that suit....
@ruouttaurmind @ChadP Note the second item. http://mentalfloss.com/article/12710/13-little-known-punctuation-marks-we-should-be-using I think Unicode makes its revival not only possible but urgent.
@editorkid Snark Mark! LMAO!!!
@TimePollution Did you meet him on Freemont Street? That place makes me question a lot of things....
meow-meh
@foodog Easily the best pumpkin carving I've seen. You win at life.
No rechargeable batteries? Meh!
@Kyser_Soze byorb
@Kyser_Soze We use this keyboard with our HTPC and the batteries in it last for a very long time. Probably change batteries every six months or so.
In for one vile-savvy-buffalo!
What's a trackball? is that the newest tech in mousing?
@badmnky It is for playing Tempest.
Not feeling a need to replace our satisfactory if not superb $20 Logitech K400 sofa keyboard with this $17 unit.
the write-up for today's product is out of this world.
christ, i wish i could shake that guy's hand
Wait... "Operating System Support Windows XP Windows Vista"
Houston, do we have a problem?
(Since Windows 7 is based upon Vista, you could lie just little bit and include it, Meh.)
@RedOak I use one on 7 currently. Meh!
@RedOak Chances are it's standard USB HID, meaning every OS/Distro/Toaster will use it just fine.
What does "Number of Channel 78" mean?
It is on the manufacturer's page, too.
@hamjudo The device channel hops to avoid conflicts with your home wifi, Bluetooth devices, microwave oven, game controllers & electric blankets.
If this would control the: TV, soundbar, blu ray player, roku, chromecast, etc. I'd be all over it. Since it doesn't, it would just add to my remote collection. meh.
@Thumperchick LG webOS TVs might have the ability to do some of that from the keyboard, or at the very least from the original TV remote instead of having all those remotes at once.
@eblade What do you mean? I have a weboa TV and would like to know more about this! :D
@Wiicked08 i dont know the specifics of how but the magic remote can be configured to control things connected to the hdmi inputs.. Might have a look at the device connector app?
@Wiicked08 In the Input Manager, when you select HDMI1,2,3 you can also select "Set up universal control"
Oh, sweet! I could use a little Bluetooth keyboa--
…oh.
Right thumb x,y. Left thumb click or scroll. It is awesome while sitting on a (couch/hammock/other), using a computer.
Looks nice but not really something I need. Plus it's not rechargea--wait a second...ARE YOU TRYING TO SELL US MORE BATTERIES??
possessive-spontaneous-neptune
Well.. needed to replace the one that the kids lost the damn dongle to. Kids and dongles. They're always playing with them. Then things never work right after.
@eblade don't let the neighbors see your kids playing with their dongles unless you want a visit from the good folks at children and family services
My Samsung S5 is my remote. It even works on Fembots. Now I bet all you iPhone users wish you had a Samsung....
Auto meh for sold out.
Sold Out ... "There are no more"? Ew, what happened to the snarky "You missed it"? You guys going soft on us??
@jsh139 good catch. snark felt like we had to post "no really this is all we could buy" after every sellout.
we'll have to figure out some alternate way to taunt folks soon
basically buying a used keyboard....ummm nope.
No Georgia Red. . . for that alone, meh.
WHY SELL OUT SO FAST!?! WHY NO HUSKIES PURPLE?!?
I love purple.
Has anybody notice that all the buyers are from 'blue' states? Is it that red states are too poor to even afford meh or are they emulating their wealthy leaders and distributing the bulk of their money among themselves? Curious minds wanna know (not really).
I love purple.
not working..
