4.0 out of 5 stars Be the ENVY of your IT department!, September 26, 2005
This review is from: Saitek Eclipse Keyboard ( PZ30AU ) (Personal Computers)
Aside from a few volume and brightness control keys above the number pad, the Saitek Eclipse has a standard 104 keyboard layout. No fancy swoops, loops, or "enhanced" layouts. Except for the space bar being fatter, and the function keys being shorter, all keys are the proper size in the proper place with no frills. That is EXACTLY how you want it to be!

"Ergonomic" devices often tend to look futuristic, and have exaggerated design accents. But in the end, they don't interface well with human hands, and are mostly marketing gimmicks. Like most people, the last truly ergonomic thing you used was the finger molded handlebar grips on your tricycle.

The casing design does have some fancy swooping in the corners, with a molded-to-fit wrist rest. This "modular "X" form" absolutely does NOT interfere with function of the keyboard, and only enhances its' black and silver charm. Extreme enough for gamers, high-tech enough for enthusiasts, yet practical enough for... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars A Great Everyday Keyboard, November 17, 2005

I decided to own this keyboard for a few weeks before writing my review.

First, you have to understand how old my other keyboard was - it was a keyboard by Compaq that I have had since BEFORE Windows 3.1. I kept it because it did not have the Windows and Task Bar Keys built in (I have never liked those keys on my keyboard). The Compaq keyboard was built like a tank! It has held up perfectly over the years. But it was time to find something new.

I have owned the Saitek Eclipse keyboard for about a month. I am going to break this review into two parts - a keyboard for gamers and a keyboard for normal typing.

Since this keyboard is marketed towards gamers, I will address this issue first. What makes this a "gamers" keyboard is the blue glow around the keys and through the symbol on the actual key itself. However, even at the brightest setting, the glow is far from perfect. As most reviewers here have stated, it is not bright enough to see... Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Good keyboard marred by poor materials, September 9, 2005
This review is from: Saitek Eclipse Keyboard ( PZ30AU ) (Personal Computers)
I've had mine for 5 months now and initially was an excellent keyboard no problem with it, but after time keys with frequent use began sticking. The problem is the rubber dome switch pad under the keys is not up to standard of gaming use (i.e. constant fast and hard repetitive pushing and holding down for long periods of time) and eventually tears the dome causing keys to stay down and engaged. It's a good keyboard for basic users but calling it a gaming keyboard is a joke.
