Short Lived

 

The touchscreen and back light work well and the shortcut keys are nice

after about 4 months of use, the keyboard starting ghosting horribly. Couldn't press more than 2 keys at once. For gaming this was a letdown. This seems to be an issue with all Saitek keyboards I have purchased in the past. I tried different drivers,...

Nice with a few issues.

 

I thought this keyboard would be a good investment since I spend a lot of time on the computer (Win 7 OS). It had all the shortcuts and media button that I needed an wanted and the illumination was a plus! However, after 4 months of use, the keys...

Illuminated Keyboard ; Murltimedia Keys (Volume, Music, Video) ; Shortcut Keys (Favs, Calculator, Music, Search, Internet)

Mlfunctioned after 4 months ; Keyboard takes uo a lot of space (too large for small desk or workstations)

Nice but

 

After spending the money on a key board this expensive I am not impressed and will not replace it with another Eclipse III

Nice feel ; Preprogrammed macros ; Multicolored back lighting

Have now owned this key board for almost 2 years and about 4 months ago the 7 key stopped working. This I could have lived with grudgingly but I could have lived with it but last week the M key went out and that was the last straw. Tried taking it...

Cant say enough about this keyboard, a little longer than my standard older one but never the less very satisfied. Its sexy as hell and i cant hear nothing when I am typing, its as tho its silent/ninja like. It literally is just plug and play cause...

Hope it lasts

A really cool Keyboard!

 

This keyboard is pretty comfortable, the key presses are very good and smooth. The back lighting is pretty neat. Kinda wish it was a little brighter, but it still does great even in the dark. You can change the backlighting to red and blue and 3 shades...

The only con I find with this keyboard is the touch volume buttons. When you slide your finger up or down the volume panel, it only moves volume up and down very slightly. Not sure if there is an adjustment for this, havent read the manual yet. It is...

Great keyboard

 

Its really a great keyboard, whoever it is a little on the expensive side. Thinking about it I should of just got the Cyborg which looks exactly like the one I replaced it for. Im not complaining though. The cons about it are just personal preference....

fast shipping ; awesome lights ; working side keys (new tab, calculator, my programs, ect ect) ; soft keys ; saitek

not sure if i can change the LED lights for the keys to blue ; the LED in the top front display is all blue and theyre kind of dim ; costs a bit much ; it doesnt come with a free BMW

Awesome Keybaord

 

This is replacing a saitek eclipse II keyboard which I had for several years until I finally broke the space bar. It lasted through 3 builds (core 2 duo, i7 920, and now 3930k) before it finally got worn out. Hopefully I get the same great quality from...

This is a great keyboard. It does everything it is supposed to do and I'm fully satisfied ; The keys feel great when pressed, not too soft not too hard. Just to my liking ; The side buttons work well and do what they're supposed to do ; Looks great...

Wouldn't work on my USB 3.0 ports for some reason, everything worked except the touch buttons on the top of the keyboard.... not sure why but I put it in my USB 2.0 and it worked perfectly. Wasn't a problem since I have like 15 ports but if you only...

no problems here!

 

i have read the the previews and i am a little worried that i may or may not have the same fate. again if you have a very small desk you may want to reconsider and get a smaller board

5 different colors ; soft clean typing ; no more leaning forward to see keys that reflect from monitor ; short cut keys touchscreen media keys ; no need for software, no cds nor downloads

none so far other than its a huge key board, also touch screen buttons do not work when playing games(other than the back light switch button )
