OMEN by HP Encoder Keyboard - Brown Switch for $44.99 + tax & FS @ HP.com

Why no one comments on this deal. It looks like a great deal to me. But since no one said anything about it. I am wondering if anything wrong with this keyboard? It's MX cherry brown, to my understanding, it should be a no-brainer deal.

Because paid shills here are instructed to talk (to each other) about and promote $100+ kbs with subpar and lousy Kailh Inside® instead...

I bought one. Great deal IMO. And I know HP has very good customer service having communicated with them recently about my HP Omen headset.

Just bought one. Can the lights be turned off? I'm not a gamer, but plan to use it for typing/coding.

I bought this and it's an AMAZING keyboard for the price. I was expecting some corner cutting to some degree because of the price for Cherry MX Browns, but it's really nice. The keyboard is very stiff despite being plastic, and the keycaps are pretty great. I actually like it just a little more than my IKBC CD 108 v2 (the IKBC is significantly stiffer and heavier with the metal chassis). You might ask why I have two such keyboards at all? Well, both my wife and I work from home and after getting the IKB for one of the home office setups after a keyboard broke, the other station having a lame rosewill membrane keyboard just wasn't cutting it anymore. So I went out on a hunt for another Cherry MX Brown board and decided this would be a great deal. I'm not disappointed. I don't know if the software allows the LEDs to be turned off. It's only being used for work right now, and my work laptop is so locked down by IT that I can't install the keyboard's software. It's a little hilarious having the red WASD keys for something I use primarily to write reports, but whatever. It feels great and was a great deal.

If you're a Perks At Work member, there is a private store exclusive sale and the price of this keyboard is now $39.99. It may work with other Employee Purchase Program.

Edit: I'm realizing this may be related to EPP, not Perks. Not sure what qualifies for the private sale price. Ymmv.

I do not see that when I login. Not really used Perks at Work before, maybe the deals are not the same for every company/member?
How did you get to this item?

edit: Found the item, but when I click on the link to go to HP's website I still get the $50 price.

Did try logging into your HP account and see if the price changes? I know for me I had to previously contact HP customer service because my account was not linking to my Perks/EPP account with my employer and they were able to link it. Maybe that's why I'm seeing the $39.99 price. It does state by the price, "Private store exclusive price", so it looks like it may be ymmv.

Nope. Guess the coupon does not stack though?

I was able to get it for that price from Lifemart Employee Program, which is yet another Employee Purchase Program. 39.99 with FS.

You can also sign up for HP rewards for an extra 3 dollars off making it 42 dollars before tax.
