Customer Review: I've got 2
Summary: 5 Stars
I Love this keyboard. I bought one last year and my best friend stole it because he thought it was the coolest thing he's ever seen. So now i had to buy another. The keyboard is increadibly durable. I have dumped an entire can of beer in the keyboard and it still works 100% lights and keys. Customer Review: opinions on Saitek Eclipse II keyboard
Summary: 4 Stars
I reviewed keyboards online before placing my order with Amazon for the Saitek Eclipse II keyboard. I did not want the ergonomic one with all the curves in it. I also didn't need all the special gaming controls. Although it is personal preference, I did want a keyboard design that had a large backspace key. And finally I didn't want a wireless keyboard (call me an old timer!)
I am happy with my purchase of the Saitek Eclipse II keyboard. First I love it for the illuminated keys. I have a little hard time seeing keys in my dark office yet I don't like all the lights on in the office since it is too bright. Now I can work in total darkness since the keys really show nicely. I also am happy that the keyboard isn't light or flimsy. It feels solid. The cord from the keyboard to the PC is long enough to reach and then some. And I didn't need to install anything since Windows XP Pro recognized the keyboard immediately. Finally I though the cost was reasonable for what I got.
Some opinions of items I would change are:
(1) I would make the tilt adjustment a little greater....right now the incline you can add to the keyboard isn't as great as I would like.
(2) I would add a softer foldout wrist rest pad to the unit. The one that comes with the keyboard is only molded plastic.
I do want to add a note that Amazon shipped this unit much faster than I had expected. Since this isnt' the only time I've ordered from Amazon and it isn't the only time an item has come so fast, I believe they should be noted for their speedy response.
hope this helps.
Customer Review: Perfect for Me....
Summary: 5 Stars
Just recieved this today so I cannot comment on the key wear issue, but the keyboard is very solid compared to any other I have used. The backlighting is strong enough for me; (I am typing now with the monitor as the only light in the room). I do not use this keyboard for gaming, so I cannot comment on that, but for ordinary typing, and surfing, it is perfect....AND FUN TOO! I have read that the late-production keyboards have been upgraded to prevent key wear...let's see; but even if they do wear, the company will gladly replace any worn keys for free...for me, at least, the look and feel of this keyboard is so nice that I don't care about replacing keys if I have too. Sofar as keystrokes, it has a perfect balance of travel and spring..."quiet keys" are nice too. GO 4 IT!Customer Review: Eclipse

Great product and love using it! I have had it for about 2 months and have not had any technical problems with it.Customer Review: Saitek PK02AU Keyboard
Summary: 3 Stars
This keyboard is nice for the average person. I am a production typist and the touch/response was not fast enough for me. I probably would not recommend it, but then I'm having a hard time finding any keyboard now that is made very good. Most wear my wrists out because the touch is too hard.
