 Fantastic Keyboard with Lightning March 6, 2010
Calvin Q. Glosser (Santa Barbara, CA USA)
Been keyboarding for 35 year or so and always had the best of best when it comes to keyboards. Have to give up my "Classic Option 101 Keyboard" by IBM - both of them a work and home. They were just too much on the tactile response and it was beginning to fatigue my joints. So, I tried the Eclipse III. BIG MISTAKE! Its keystrokes are very mushy and it was way too WIDE. Felt like I was reaching for the stars to get my mouse and the keys are spread out too much. This keyboard had a well-built feel to it, the keystrokes provided ample tactile feedback to fingertips, the keys are big and nice yet compact but still spaced well, it's the classic 101 layout for the most part, there is a small knob to adjust the lighting and you can still use you own wrist support or theirs. In a word this keyboard is just AWESOME for day or night, home or work, etc. I'm buying another for work. NOTE: Some will prefer the mushy Eclipse III more for it less force to hit the keys however it will dramatically increase you errors if you are a super-fast typist like me. You cannot go wrong with this keyboard for the price.
Great Product So far. February 21, 2010

I purchased this for my husband as a birthday present since our other keyboard was getting well aged. I am pleased with the purchase and so is he. He likes the light up feature and the spring in the keys. He also like stability when he uses is for his PC games such as COD Modern Warfare 2.
 great keyboard! February 19, 2010

I bought this keyboard to replace the one that came with my HP desktop computer, which, while functional, was kind of noisy and also ugly.
I'm very pleased with it. The illumination has the practical benefit of making everything very easy to see in low light. Since I'm often typing late at night when the lighting in my office isn't all that great, that's appreciated.
And, of course it's kind of cool looking. (I prefer the purple and blue lights, depending upon my mood, but haven't really used the red.)
Reviews said this keyboard was quiter than most. Well, yeah, it probably is somewhat, but I wouldn't exactly call it quiet. It makes much more sound than a laptop keyboard, for instance. I often type while on the phone, and so would prefer a keyboard that can't be heard by whomever I'm speaking with. While I haven't asked anyone, I think people probably can hear it. So, it isn't as quiet as I would have wished but that isn't a dealbreaker. This is why I give it 4 stars instead of 5.
Plugs in and works immediately, with no drivers to install.
I'm a web designer and am on the computer all day, so it's important to me to have a good solid keyboard, not too huge, that looks good, and, most importantly, functions really well. This fits the bill.
I really have been enjoying the Saitek Eclipse II keyboard and think you probably will, too.
Good keyboard! February 17, 2010

Saitek Eclipse II February 15, 2010
A. Hagerty (Los Angeles, CA)
I was looking for an ergonomic backlit keyboard, but apparently those two traits don't exist. Therefore, I settled on this because it looked pretty nice. I enjoy the 3 different colors (kind of like a mood ring, the RED looks awesome). The price was great, and the attachable/detachable wrist rest comes in handy. It is adjustable, so you can bring it flush with the edge of the keyboard and not have a space in between - like so many of the pictures show.
The one thing I DON'T like about it was that the media control buttons (play, pause, skip, volume up/down) do NOT light up. How rediculous is that?!?!? They are to the side of the intensity dial, but still it is hard to remember which button does which action.
