5 out of 5 stars Awesome keyboard   November 17, 2008
The LED's aren't super bright, but it glows very lovingly in the dark. I enjoyed this purchase, I would get it if I were you.


4 out of 5 stars nice board   November 16, 2008
this keyboard is awesome. with the different color displays and the brightness control nob, it makes it nice to use in the dark. the keys them self have a griped texture to them, so they do not feel like cheap plastic. over all it is a great keyboard.


3 out of 5 stars Good ideas, cheep plastic.   November 16, 2008
The designs of this keyboard are standard.
The LED is nice.
However, the plastic they use is CHEEP. This is the only keyboard where I have actually broken the space *bar*, not the switch of the space bar, but the plastic bar itself. Oddly enough, the switch portion still worked.

So if you plan on using it a lot, expect it to eventually break on you sooner than you would normally expect.



4 out of 5 stars When the Keys Erode, Here are Two Solutions!   November 6, 2008
I've read a lot of reviews about the laser-etched keys on the Eclipse wearing off. Here are two suggestions because I had this same problem. One is a simple solution and it worked. The other is more complicated "prevention" that stops this to begin with.

1. Simple Solution: Call or email Saitek. They replaced the keys I had problems with and sent them by Fed-X. No questions asked, so this means they are getting a lot of laser-etched key issues from consumers.

2. Complicated Prevention: Once you buy this product and/or have replaced the damaged keys, follow keyboard aficionados advice (not mine, BTW!). Try removing each and every key. Once you have removed the keys, a very light spraying of non-yellowing clear top-coat spray paint does the trick (and, no, they don't get sticky unless you used a cheap top-coat paint). I'm really not sure why Saitek doesn't do this already because of the wear-away problems. Perhaps this will be fixed on the Saitek III.



5 out of 5 stars An Excellent Choice!   November 2, 2008
This keyboard {Saitek Eclipse II - PK02AU} is everything good that I've read about it. The feel of the keys and their response to touch is great. The only way to say something negative about this product is to go way out of your way to do so. I am absolutely happy with this keyboard! Thanks for putting out such a quality and well thought out product.
