wasn't there some "audiophile" cables around that same amount of dough? seriously who thinks of this stuff!? and more importantly, people actually bought it?!

 

the "good" part? it's only 999 pounds in UK: http://www.amazon.co.uk/iZEEKER-Gaming-Stitched-Waterproof-Smooth-36/dp/B016W29RAI

Typo or a troll, the larger one is only $20

[Shakaza]

I don't generally mind paying a bit more for quality products, but $900?! That's ridiculous!

 

Never mind, it seems to be a typo...

[dragoon20005]

typo of the pricing

 

the larger one is 20 bucks

[Whorax]

I'm going to assume Amazon has the wrong price posted.

Shouldn't this be moved to hot deals?

[Mew]

Did apple or razer? Razr? Make this?

[Glenwing]

"I found a strange product" does not qualify as tech news. Moved to Peripherals.

I'm going to assume Amazon has the wrong price posted.

 

Or amazon isn't selling them, and the person who is priced it ridiculously.

I would assume that isn't the case seeing as how the bigger mousepad is like 20 bucks or something, but you never know I guess.

I think it's likely that they missed the . in there, as 9.99 pounds would make more sense.

Or they could simply put 999 as a default placeholder value before actually putting up the price.

Just realised I don't actually have a pound symbol on my keyboard.
