Wireless USB key

Clare Bear

I've broken another wireless key on my laptop (think this is the fifth one over the last few years, my dog rubbed off this one and broke it), I keep buying the Belkin ones, they're around 30 euro, does anyone know if I can get a cheaper one? Seeing as I have to replace them quite a bit. Also PC World is the only place that do them out here (Swords) could I get one anywhere else (not online)? Dixons and a few more computer stores I've checked don't do them, just PC World and they don't have much of a selection so my cheapest option with them is the Belkin one. Would Tesco Clarehall have Wireless keys maybe? They have a lot of computer gadgets. Thanks for any info.

you are aware that most belkin wireless products have a LIFETIME garrantee -
am using it on mine this month as it just stopped working.

just incase you dont know this.

Life time warranty does not cover physical damage though.

Ultimate facepalm moment!! You're right! In my defence when I bought the laptop the guy in Currys said it needed a wireless key so I took his word for it because I'm not a tech head so I presumed I needed one and didn't think anymore of it. Now after a quick google I have it sorted without one. Sorry for wasting your time but thanks kikel, if it wasn't for you I'd be buying wireless keys forever :rolleyes:

Sorry
