You've probably heard a lot about mechanical keyboards in the past few years, and one of the best models on the market is on sale right now.

Most mechanical keyboards are marketed towards gamers, but Das Keyboards are a typist's dream. Their newest, the Das Keyboard 4, is only $120 for a refurb right now, a significant savings off of the usual $169 price tag. You even get to choose from either the Professional or blank key-sporting Ultimate, as well as Cherry MX Blue or Brown switches.

While the key caps differ between the two models, they both have the same core feature set.

  • Media controls with oversized volume knob
  • Two-port USB 3.0 SuperSpeed hub
  • Anodized aluminium top panel
  • Full n-key rollover
  • Gold-plated mechanical key switches

As for the switches, Lifehacker has a great explainer on the different options, and you can also buy an inexpensive sampler to try all of them yourself. I prefer the obnoxiously-loud Blue switches myself, but Browns are more popular among gamers, and a bit less clicky. [Woot]

Every modem rental fee you pay to your ISP is padding for their bottom line, and a total rip-off for you. Fortunately, you can buy your own modem for a relatively small upfront cost, and knock a few bucks off your monthly bill.

There's a general consensus that Motorola's SB6141 is the best modem for most cable internet subscribers, but it usually runs in the $80-$90 range. Today only though, you can score a refurb from Amazon for $55. It'll pay for itself eventually no matter what it costs, but this is a rare opportunity to save a decent chunk of change on this particular model. [Refurb Motorola Surfboard SB6141 Modem, $55]

With 250 hours of battery life on a single set of AAs and 250-2500 adjustable DPI, the Logitech G602 is a great all-around mouse for the gamer on the go. This model has an excellent 4.4 star review average on Amazon, and the G series was also one of your nominations for best gaming mouse, so you can buy it with confidence.

Amazon has it for $50 right now, which is within $5 of the lowest price we've ever seen, so crank up your DPI and put it in your cart on the double. [ Logitech G602, $50]

Your MacBook is an elegant piece of machinery; it deserves better than a cheap plastic USB hub. Luckily, Anker designed a few options that look like they could have come bundled with the laptop, but they sell them for decidedly non-Apple prices.

While I take issue with the blue USB ports, this is probably the closest thing you'll ever see to a USB hub that could have come out of Cupertino. The 7-port version is on sale for $26 with code OCASGFZC today, but the 4-port model is a solid buy at $14 as well. And yes, before you ask, they'll work just fine on Windows, but it's pretty clear who Anker's aiming for here.

If you have a Regal theater in your town, here's a no-brainer deal for you. Hopefully the savings are enough to get you the equivalent of a free movie ticket, but that's not true in all cities.
