- If you need a basic keyboard, this is the one for you.
This review is for the Saitek Eclipse II back-lit keyboard, not to be confused with the earlier version, the Eclipse I. The most notable difference is that v.1 had a problem with key letters wearing off, this does not.

Moving onto the keyboard, it's a very basic keyboard with all the standard keys.
LED's for NumLock, Scroll, and CapsLock.
Media keys: Forward, Back, Play/Pause, Stop, Vol Up, Vol Down.
Backlight color toggle-key: Blue, Red, and Violet are your options.

A scroll-wheel changes the brightness of the backlight. It can go from off to full-on, but the amount it can be dimmed is slightly limited. I find it's more effective to just switch it to red if you want it dimmer since that's a softer color.

The keys are very comfortable and hold up well. I've not had mine for over two years and it's still going strong. Action is very well balanced in my opinion, not clunky at all while still having a good tactile feel to them.

It comes with two fold out angle-adjustments for the back height, giving you the option of having it flush, slightly raised, or noticably raised. It also comes with snap on wrist-rest that has several different lengths it can be set to. I would prefer a padded wrist-rest, but it does it's job.

This keyboard is a workhorse. It doesn't have fancy buttons and extras, just the basic necessities. And at that it excels. There are keyboards out there with more buttons and options, but you'll pay considerably more for that. This is a great keyboard for someone who just wants a good, reliable keyboard without distracting buttons etc...

- It is what you expect from a keyboard.
This keyboard has nothing special to it, but it has nothing wrong either. The keys are responsive, accurate and comfortable to type with. For normal use, this keyboard is very good. It's a little big, but offsets that by being quite comfortable. The only thing that I don't particularly like is the media controls on the top right corner. They could have had a better design to support a more fluid management of volume and the like, though it's a minor flaw.

You can control the brightness of the keyboard's backlight. At maximum settings, you can browse through the keys easily at night, though it's not overly bright. It doesn't look excessive either, which is a good thing for me.

Now, for gaming, the quality of this keyboard is very relative. You don't get any special macro keys, LED displays, special key layouts, or anything else that would help you somehow on a game. This could be a huge impediment for a gamer, or it couldn't. It all depends on what the gamer expects from the keyboard. Personally, this keyboard does everything I need it to do during my gaming sessions. I mainly play MMORPG type of games, and I haven't found how this keyboard can incapacitate me in any way whatsoever while playing them. There's a fine line between useful and useless features.

So far it has given me no trouble of any form, and I would consider it a good buy, though not a product that changed my past experience dramatically. Like most electronic products, it's an evolution from normal keyboards, not a revolution.

- A handy-dandy lighted keyboard
After owning and enjoying the earlier model Saitek Eclipse lighted keyboard for about a year, I purchased this model when it was featured [...] in Sept of '06. I am not particularly gentle with my keyboards, but it still looks great and functions perfectly. It is comfortable to type on. And I enjoy the media control keys. I find the pink/purple backlighting is easiest to see. My old one got passed down to one of my kids, and it's still going strong. If I had to suggest an improvement, I would like the next model to feature an even brighter setting as I am not a touch typist and often am using it at night. That said, I don't hesitate to recommend this product.

- Great Product.
This keyboard has a great feel to it. The design is both functional and stylish. The 3 color system may be gimicky to some, but what can I say, I like gadgets. If you are looking for a good quality basic lighted keyboard I recommend it.

- Saitek Eclipse 2 Keyboard
Keyboard arrived in two days...good service. The keyboard is great..so far, I am quite pleased. I bought this for the back lit keys...and it does what it's supposed to do. It's great for gaming...weighted, heavy duty, and nice feel..keys are not too springy/not mushy. Highly recommended!
I would have given it 5 stars...but since it is only two days old....I can't give it a perfect rating...yet.
