Not true. The Best Buy house brand, Insignia, sells a USB keyboard for $9.99 and a mouse and keyboard set for $12.99. The mouse sells for $7.99 by itself. I recently bought several of the sets for a client who has a specific need for widely spaced keys due to the impairment from a stroke making his typing moves much less accurate. A wireless Logitech model had previously been of great help but because it was aimed at certain markets was lacking a full cursor and edit key cluster to reduce the width.

The Insignia keyboard, although of lesser build quality for a shorter lifespan, has the same spacing and a full-size layout. The price is so low that he doesn't have to worry about leaving it behind when he travels.

Order it online and select store pickup. That will make them figure out where it is on the shelves.
