"Awesome Gamer's Keyboard!"
Pros: Able to game in the dark, solid construction
Cons: my '8' key has poor response and needs to be mashed in order to work...
Summary: I've had my Eclipse for about 6-months now. The grey paint job is wearing off the keys in places and the illumination is showing through. As I said before, the '8' key has poor response and needs to be mashed in order to respond...not good for a hardcore gamer (I make sure the hotkey for that button isn't crucial). I guess I could have mailed it back to Saitek (I had to mail order it, as I am active duty military, stationed in Germany), but this was the best gaming keyboard I could find and am very reluctant to surrender it, faulty key and all (and waiting 2-months for a new Eclipse is out of the question).
Very solid build, just like it's brother the PC Gamer's Keyboard (the one I am typing on right now). The Eclipse is bling bling with my SN25P Shuttle, at LAN parties, and being able to see they keys (no - I haven't completely memorized where the keys are yet) in the dark is useful for staying alive and communicating (I have started using Ventrilo and comms via typing has been greatly reduced, hehe). The PC Gamer's KB just doesn't cut it - it has illumination, but is only good in low-light gaming, -vs- the Eclipse, which draws gasps, ooh's and aah's from anyone looking in my direction while gaming.
'nuff said?
