5 out of 5 stars Saitek Eclipse II lighted keyboard   October 15, 2008
Nothing cooler than seeing your keyboard in a dark room. No more squinting, waiting for your eyes to adjust to see your old, dark keyboard. Three colors to choose from (blue,red,purple). Dimmer control to adjust how bright you want it. Or turn off the lights all together. Excellent product. Can't find it cheaper than at Amazon either.


4 out of 5 stars Excellent, except when it does dead   October 10, 2008
I am using this keyboard with Windows Vista. The backlit keys are wonderful when I am working in natural light and the day gets late.

I have one problem. When Vista goes into hibernate mode, the keyboard goes dark, which is okay. Then I hit the SHIFT key on my keyboard and Vista wakes back up. Once Vista wakes up, my mouse always works, but about one time in ten the keyboard fails to light up again and nothing I type is seen by Vista. I have rebooted to fix this.

Minor detail - I personally prefer a smaller keyboard, which would fit better on the keyboard pull-out of my desk, but I know that some people prefer the big keyboards.



5 out of 5 stars Great Keyboard   October 8, 2008
This is the best keyboard that I have ever owned. I got mine for my birthday and am buying one for my hubby for Christmas. Not only does it have great features (loved the colored back-light), but it is also smooth. Highly recommend. And buy from Amazon! Hubby gave $90 for mine and I am getting his for $50.99. Big savings!


5 out of 5 stars Great Keyboard   October 7, 2008
It's not as quiet as I hoped for, but its not loud at all.
I absolutely love the inscribed keys-they're very very easy to see both when lit and when not.
Very easy to change the lighting color and the dimming- just hit a small button to scroll through the colors (blue, red, pink-purple) and use the dial to move from completely dark to bright. You can only have the set colors though.
I haven't figured out if I could change the music control keys (skip song, play, pause, stop) to work with winamp. Not sure if this is possible.
Keys are easy to push and quite responsive. Wrist rest is easily removable and comfortable.
Whole thing looks great!



5 out of 5 stars Great keyboard!   October 4, 2008
I've owned this keyboard for over a year and love it. I'm a visual typist and like to work at night but didn't always want a bright overhead light on. This works perfect! I like the fact that it's backlit, unlike others I've seen on the market which have too much white light, this is more understated. The only con, however, is that the light could be a little brighter so you had the option of turning it down, and the light isn't very consistent throughout the keyboard, but it definitely does what I need it to do, and I love the option of 3 different colors; red is my favorite - easy on the eyes. I've just purchased another keyboard as a gift for my Mother, so I'd definitely recommend it to others.
