Amazing Quality

This will be my fourth keyboard from saitek in 5 years, and all 4 of them are still up and running with no problems. My old Saitek I even experienced a bit of water damage when my oh-so-intelligent roommate left a window open in a rain storm, and it's...

I'm a Saitek fan-boy if there ever was one. My last 3 keyboards are all from the eclipse series and they're top-of-the-line without being overpriced like those Logitech and Microsoft lightup keyboards. Keys are quiet and these things are durable and...

Theyre a bit pricy, but they're worth it, these things last for years and they can take a beating!

Keyboard worked right out of the box. No setup necessary, just plugged it in and everything (I do mean everything) worked. Didn't even need to download or install any drivers for it (using Vista Ultimate 32bit w/SP1). No need to read the instructions...

Well, I did just pay 80 dollars for a keyboard.

Good Keyboard, little wide

It's really up to you what you want in a keyboard. The MS light up keyboard might be better if you want the lights without the width and extra buttons

5 different colors

Media buttons are on side, causing the width
