Nice click action

I recently purchased this keyboard, primarily for the backlit keys. I was very pleasantly surprised not only by how nice the keyboard looks, but more importantly how it feels. The key action is not spongy or soft. Rather, the keyboard has a nice response and depth, with a nice little "click". The backlit keys look fantastic and the music control buttons are a great little touch for a rather inexpensive keyboard.

Good Keyboard

The keyboard is very comfortable. Lighting is bright enough for night use. So far its very tough and I use it for gaming every day.

Good keyboard.. but NOT cordless.

When looking for a new keyboard I specifically requested "cordless" .. and this was one of them. The reviews were mainly positive and nowhere did I state that this is a corded keyboard. I also searched via Google for other reviews specifically using "Cordless Saitek keyboards".. and this kept coming up with the Amazon listing. I am disappointed in that part of it.. and will test it for a day or two before deciding whether to return it.

Great keyboard

I had an Eclipse I at my old work and loved it. Strangely these days, the keyboards from the major brands almost seem designed to irritate their users. Crazy alignment of keys and poor tactile feedback are the primary culprits. The main reason I got the Eclipse was because it had a nice touch. Perhaps it's sentimental, but the touch reminds me somewhat of the Apple II keyboard, though a bit lighter. Combine the nice touch with the perfect layout, and the keyboard was a winner and served me well for a couple years. My only complaint was that it didn't have media control buttons, only volume.

When I needed a keyboard for the new office, I decided to go with the Eclipse II. It was a gamble because I was afraid that they might have messed up something from the Eclipse I, but I wanted the media control buttons. Fortunately, now that I've used it for a couple weeks, I am perfectly happy with it. It has all the positive aspects of the Eclipse I, and more.
