Why You Can Trust CNET Today's top deals: $35 mechanical gaming keyboard, $30 massage gun and more
You can also save $135 on Creality's hot new 3D printer.
Happy Thursday, all! Here's a little deal news to put on your radar:
- T-Mobile Home Internet is officially official now, and after six weeks of using the service, I have a lot to say about it. Stay tuned!
- Shopping for an affordable office chair? I put my butt on half a dozen of them, all priced under $100. Any winners in the group? Find out this Saturday.
Today I bring you significant savings on a mechanical keyboard (they're a thing now, who knew?), massage gun and 3D printer. Want more deals? Sign up for Cheapskate text alerts!
As always, everything here is available for a limited time and while supplies last. Every coupon and code was tested and working at the time of this writing.
In the old days I used a mechanical keyboard. Then I grudgingly switched to the low-profile keyboards we all use now. Then I learned (just recently) that mechanical keyboards have made a huge comeback, and they're, like, a thing. Different switches, custom keys, LED lighting... one CNET writer likened modern mechanical keyboards to custom lightsabers.
Anyway, the Rantopad MXX originally sold for $100 (and it's currently $90 at Amazon), but UntilGone's exclusive deal gets you out the door for $35 with promo code CNETMXX. It features blue switches (that means something, apparently) and various LED lighting patterns.
Me, I no longer miss the loud clacking of keyboards like this. But, wow, some folks are definitely drinking the Kool-Aid.

Another day, another impossibly good deal on a massage gun. Aerlang's full-size model features a brushless motor, six heads and a carrying case.
The battery is good for up to six hours, according to Aerlang, though obviously that depends on which of the gun's 20 (!) massage speeds you're using.
This model also touts a 16mm stroke length, which is higher than most and promises a deeper massage. Just note that at 2.2 pounds, it's also heavier than most.
I recently tested an entry-level Creality 3D printer, one I found challenging for three reasons: Difficult to assemble, difficult to level and unintuitive to operate. Kinda wish I'd waited for this deal to come along (though at the time I didn't know this model existed).
The CR-6 SE comes mostly assembled. It requires no leveling (or, rather, it handles it on its own) and employs a much more intuitive touchscreen interface. Although it apparently achieved some Kickstarter notoriety (and not in a good way), the finished product is, from what I can tell, a winner.
It normally sells for $400, and in fact that's the price I'm seeing pretty much everywhere, but at Tomtop promo code CNETSE knocks it down to $265 -- and it ships from a US warehouse, not China.
One thing to note: Once you get to checkout, you have to actually select the items in your cart before you see the total price. It's a little weird. But then you can add the promo code and you should be good to go.
