What our customer's say!

"This is the best keyboard I have ever owned...", This keyboard fulfills nearly all of my needs and desires for a keyboard.

The weight is great. The lighted keys are great (and the reason I bought it). The touch of the keys are perfect for me.

I've used a lot of keyboards and never found one until now that really suits me...

I found it difficult to get working through a KVM. Connecting it directly to each computer first (so the software loads from the keyboard to the computer) and then connecting to the KVM seems to solve the problem.

"Not too bad", The only problem I have with this keyboard is that the lighting behind the keys is not even. Some keys are still hard to see with the room dark

"A great find", I have been having problems with keyboards lately, either how the keys feel when you type, how well they were manufactured, or just the overall look. This is my first keyboard with illuminated keys and I wanted to try it out since most of the time I type either in the dark or dim lights on in the room. I got this keyboard for only $49.99 with the Amazon Prime discount and it's definitely worth it. I love how the keys feel when you type and it actually lets me type faster and more accurately than with the past 3 keyboards I had. I like the purple lighting the best! I find that most products have red and blue as an effect but not usually purple. I like how you can change the light settings. I will definitely be using this keyboard for quite awhile!

"A Very Fine Keyboard Indeed - The Saitek Eclipse II (PK02AU)", I read reviews on this keyboard until I passed out and decided to give it a try. It is everything that Saitek says it is and it lives up to the hundreds of positive reviews. The nice solid feel and the exceptional "touch" of the keys make it a joy to type on. As a matter of fact, this keyboard is the only computer related item that I have ever purchased that my wife complimented, thought the price was right and asked me to get her one for work. The only thing I wish was a little different would be a slightly longer cable. My computer desk has a slide out shelf/keyboard tray and the cord doesn't quite let it slide out all the way. I'm sure the length meets industry standards...it's just the nature of my particular setup. Buy one, today. Amazon had a great price and free shipping too.

"Cool keyboard!", As a CAD drafter I like to work in subdued light. The Saitek Eclipse 2 is a very cool tool for working in the dark. Having the 3 different color options is nice for a change of pace. The keys have a good feel and function very well. I do wish that Saitek made a "natural" style of this same model.

Read this reviews before You buy...

"Awesome KeyBoard ! I love it and you will too", I just got my Saitek Eclipse II Keyboard today and it is awesome! There are no cons just pro. The keys are wonderful and quite, the illumination is awesome it is not at all dim like some of the people are writing about. I had a Logitech that I totally hated because the keys were really hard to press. This is an easy to use keyboard with cool illumination. I would recommend it to anyone.

"Some issues, but overall really nice", Overall, I'm glad I got this keyboard. The lighting is GREAT for late night sessions when you don't want/need the whole room illuminated. I find that I stick to the blue light at most times, and switch to red when it gets really late. I think it's easier on your eyes at night; doesn't leave "ghosts" in your vision.
I have been having some issues with the letters wearing out. The way the key lighting works is that the keys are made of a transparent material and painted black with the letters a semi-transparent film. The problem is the film and black paint wear/scratch off over time on some keys. I plan to contact the company to see if I can get replacements. One other issue is the "R" key is loosing it's sensitivity and so I have to backtrack to re-type it a lot. Will also ask about that.
Apart from that it's really nice. No other keyboards like it, from what I've found.

"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.
