    Logitech Illuminated Keyboard - $34.99 with free shipping. You would pay any sales taxes. You can also do free ship2store.

    This is a very nice deal. Logitech just had it recently as a "dented box" deal for $41.99, and it's around $65 at amazon new.

    The deal is sweet, thanks for sharing!

    I am confused with all the Logitech stuff... Some are blocking the infamous Shift+W+Spacebar some are not.
    Does anyone know whether this can or cannot do the combo?

    I ordered the dented box deal from Logitech, the keyboard is amazing but the matrix does not allow shift + w + spacebar. Since i am getting used to new key layout anyways and the shaping is a bit different, i moved to ESDF (it is packed a bit more tightly so pressing shift or ctrl with my pinky feels a bit more natural than over WASD) and there are no longer any key combo issues. I was considering returning the keyboard but theres just too many things i like about it to not keep it, i would definitely jump on this deal if you are looking for a new keyboard.

    this is kind of funny, so they ONLY block WASD, but not ESDF?
    I can certainly live with ESDF

    btw, that limitation/lock, that is software based no? Someone somewhere must have found a solution for that no? Anyone any links?

    I have one and it's definitely the best kb I've ever had. The backlight is critical to me! I will not buy any other keyboard or notebook without backlighting now.

    It is hardware related. How the matrix for the keyboard is setup or something stupid like that, there are no "fixes" for the W+shift+space issue.

    Staples lists it as out of stock but Amazon has it for $44, which is still a good price so I got it there.
