5.0 out of 5 stars splendid keyboard, September 11, 2006
By Wiggly (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)   
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Saitek Eclipse II Keyboard (PK02AU) (Electronics)
Highly recommended, and the price on Amazon is more reasonable than many brick & mortar stores too. This keyboard has wonderful keys that are neither too springy nor too soft, great for typing, and great for games too. It's a pretty sturdy piece of kit too, and requires no extra drivers. So, of course it's main 'selling factor' is that it offers three different illumination colors - blue, red, and purple - and these can be dimmed or brightened. Worth noting is that the areas around the keys and the keys themselves are lit, so perfect for a darker environment. I like the blue color best, but that's probably the darkest, but I still find it's illuminated adequately. The purple color really shines though, and there's side strips that light up your desktop too. Very blingin'? Yes, for sure. Overkill? Perhaps, but I don't think this keyboard looks too tacky, in fact I've found it super useful to have a comfortable and durable keyboard for those late night gaming sessions.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best keyboard I've ever owned., November 17, 2006
This review is from: Saitek Eclipse II Keyboard (PK02AU) (Electronics)
I've been typing on various keyboards for 20 years now, and nothing is comparible to the old IBM mainframe keyboards, which had a great feel to them. I've hated every lightweight generic keyboard I've encountered, and this one stays put. On a whim, I purchased this keyboard from another site, at a great price. Well, my only regret is not purchasing another to use at work. The lighting is adequate if you're simply typing to the light of your monitor, like I frequently do at home. I wish it were a little brighter, but overall, I love this keyboard, and when the price is right, I'll get another. I prefer the purple, dislike the red, and can deal with the blue. When the computer is rebooted, it automatically reverts back to blue, which I don't consider an inconvenience whatsoever...

1.0 out of 5 stars Faulty keys after 1 year of use, December 6, 2007
This review is from: Saitek Eclipse II Keyboard (PK02AU) (Electronics)
I bought this keyboard because I already owned a Saitek Eclipse I and was totally satisfied with that, having used it for more than two years daily at work with absolutely no complaints. Anyone who sits down to use my keyboard comments on how good the keys feel, and how solid the keyboard itself is.

Anyway, I bought the v2 so that I could synchronize my keyboard layouts between home and work --- big mistake. Just under a year into using the Saitek Eclipse II, several of the keys (o, u) have started working only intermittently. If you check out the reviews on Newegg, and maybe on Amazon as well, you will see others reporting bad keys with the Eclipse II.

Meanwhile, the Eclipse I is still going strong; although I must report that I accidentally got a drop of hand sanitizer on one of my keys, and apparently the back-lighting is accomplished via a silver coating (black on the v2) on transparent plastic keys. As a result, my 'c' is now a smudged blue blob, the silver having slightly worn off from the alcohol in the hand sanitizer.

I wouldn't recommend buying the Eclipse II, though the tri-color lights are nice (though a bit dim), and audio controls are handy, but I would suggest buying the Eclipse I instead.
