How convenient, cheaper USB keyboards and mice a few days before the mini ships. Maybe now I'll finally buy the BT keyboard.

Maybe I'm missing something, but in the Accessories store the prices are the same. They've always been lower when purchased WITH the Mini...

I must be having a brain-fart then. Dealmac claims the prices are lower, and when I checked them at apple.com it seemed to make sense. I could've sworn that my apple mouse was like $42 when I ordered it in Feb. last year. Oh well, useless post. Sorry folks, please ignore.

'sall good

EDIT: That is weird that DealMac is reporting that...very odd. Maybe they did drop, but I just bought an iMac & BT keyboard on the 15th and the prices were the same as they are now...

No, you're not crazy. The corded keyboard and mouse were $49 each a while ago - they dropped to $29 each about a week before MWSF. Likewise, the wireless ones went from $69 to $59. I posted about it here:

So yeah, you're not crazy, just slow .

Ahhh. This is good news. Not the slow part but the verified cheaper prices.

Lucky me, I bought today at Gravis both the keyboard and mice (wire), because my iBook keyboard is slowly crapping out. My first step to a new Mac mini...
I'm-a trying to wonder, wonder, wonder why you, wonder, wonder why you act so.

Apple Europe dropped prices across the board on Tuesday two weeks ago.

The keyboard and mouse are finally at a price point where I can actually sell them to people (I work at Gravis).
