Tomoko mechanical keyboard, $40 with code 3LR3V47Z

You’ve probably heard a lot of fuss about mechanical keyboards lately, and if not, you’ve at least heard the clicking. If you’re curious to try one yourself without dropping a bunch of money, here’s an entry-level model (with number pad) for $40, one of the best prices we’ve ever seen on any mechanical keyboard.

The keys don’t use name brand Cherry MX switches (unsurprising at this price), but the switches it does include should closely mimic Cherry MX blues, which are tactile, loud, and great for typists.


FABRIQ Bluetooth speaker, $40

Alexa has basically become the operating system of the home, but you don’t actually need to buy an Amazon Echo to get in on the fun. The FABRIQ Bluetooth speaker has the full Alexa experience built in, and you can get it for just $40 today in three different colors, down from its usual $50.

The big downside here is that you have to press a button on FABRIQ to activate Alexa; you can’t wake it with your voice. But considering the Amazon Tap has the same limitation and costs $130, and the comparably priced Amazon Dot has a much quieter speaker, it’s tough to complain.

Perhaps the coolest feature, though, is the ability to connect up to 10 Fabriq speakers together over wi-fi for multi-room streaming, whether you’re playing audio over Bluetooth, or via a built-in Alexa music streaming app. That Sonos-like feature isn’t even available on the $180 Amazon Echo, so it’s a huge selling point.


Oak Leaf LED Edison bulb 6-Pack, $18 with code QVVAHX4S

You know those warm, dim, Edison-style bulbs you see in fancy restaurants and bars staffed by men with mustaches? Well, it turns out that they make LED versions of those, and you can own six of them for $18 with promo code QVVAHX4S. And unlike a lot of alternatives, these use E26 bases that work in any standard lighting fixture.


Up to 50 percent off Valentine’s Day gifts from top watch brands

Amazon is marking down a bunch of really nice watches, just in time for Valentine’s Day. Brands like Bulova, Citizen, Fossil, Nixon, and more are marked down, with basically any style you’d like, all with Prime shipping.


Samsung Gear 360, $226

You know those cool 360 videos you’ve seen on YouTube or even in a virtual reality headset? All you need to make your own is the Samsung Gear 360, and it can be yours for an all-time low $226 today.

Even if you don’t have access to, like, a helicopter or speed boat to capture truly jaw-dropping video, you could easily plop this thing into the middle of a party or get-together and relive the whole thing in 360 degrees later. I wish I’d had one for my wedding.

Here’s a sample of what you can capture from the Gear 360. On desktop (Chrome only), you should be able to click and drag around, and on mobile, your phone’s accelerometer should be able to rotate the video within the YouTube app.


J and L Bluetooth headphones, $10 with code Q73GWW55

Inexpensive Bluetooth earbuds are not hard to find, but $10 is basically unheard of. Even if you have a pair already, it wouldn’t hurt to get an extra to keep in your gym bag or luggage.


Yoga spinner game, $11

Yoga is undoubtedly great for you, but if twisting your body like a rubber band isn’t your idea of fun, this inexpensive game might make it a little more enjoyable, especially if you’re in a group:

Yoga Spinner is a delightful introduction to yoga that encourages teamwork and healthy physical activity. Give the spinner a whirl and perform the pose on the corresponding Yoga Pose Card. If you can hold the pose for 10 seconds, you keep the card, and the first player to collect a card in each color wins! You’ll need a little luck and teamwork, and a bit more flexibility and balance to win this entertaining yoga game.


Aukey 14W solar charger, $35 with code M6G5ECT9; Aukey 21W solar charger, $42 with code K9AEFOBH

Whether you like to spend a lot of time outdoors, or just want to be prepared for extended power outages, these Aukey solar chargers can juice up two USB-powered devices at once using nothing but the sun. Unless space is a concern, I’d personally opt for the 21W model for $7 more.


Kubo And The Two Strings (Blu-ray + DVD + digital HD), $12

Kubo And The Two Strings has everything a perfect family movie could need: beautiful animation, anthropomorphic animals, and a feisty, young main character that has to save the day. And for $12, it’s something that should be on your Blu-ray shelf.
