Great value
My mom called me and told me her keyboard stopped working. I was insanely busy and didn't have time for a house call, so I logged on to Amazon and figured I'd ship her something overnight. At first I was looking at really fancy keyboards, but then I realized that I wasn't shopping for a geek like myself; I'm shopping for mom, "and she just needs a basic keyboard". "Basic?" "Did I just say "Basic"?" "That's a magic Amazon word. I wonder if AmazonBasics makes a keyboard?" So I looked up AmazonBasics, and lo and behold, they make a really stylish keyboard and it's dirt cheap. So I overnighted mom a new keyboard. She called me up after the Brown truck dropped it off and she asked if I or one of my kids could run down and "install" it. I told her it would be an hour or so before one of us could run down there, but would she like to give it a try herself? I described a USB port to her and she "installed" it herself. ;) Mom was thrilled with the look and feel of the keyboard. She said it was way nicer than her previous Microsoft wireless keyboard. Then she asked "what do I owe you?" and I could almost hear her rolling her eyes at the thought of an expensive gadget. (As if I would actually bill mom anyway!) I told her how cheap it was and she just laughed. Great keyboard. And as always, AmazonBasics saved me a few bucks. Whether it's a USB cable, an HDMI cable, an iPhone case, or now a new keyboard for ma', AmazonBasics completely slaughters their competition in quality and value. If you're patient enough to wait a day or so for the Brown truck, you'll really see some savings.
