...and it types well too! One of my hobbies is to purchase keyboards. I'm not sure why, it's just always been that way. I think this one might be my favorite to date. It looks great, has a nice feel to the metallic keys and types like an absolute dream. It lacks the color blue, but that isn't enough of a reason to knock it down by a star. It's a fabulous keyboard, and it won't disappoint you. The two things that bug me are the volume graphic display always shows full, regardless of what the system volume is. The 2nd is that the control buttons for music only recognize windows media player. If its changeable, i just haven't found the control for it yet. Overall, buy this keyboard. Seriously.

I have not had the opportunity to do much gaming with the keyboard, but the backlighting and touch panel controls work flawlessly. The only thing that I would change is I would add a blue light to the backlighting.
 Outstanding functionality, so so on durability June 30, 2008

I had been waiting for this keyboard for over 6 months, mostly for the feature set. Having previously used the Saitek Eclipse for over a year, my biggest complaint was the durability of the keys.
Being a hard-core gamer, the "A" "S" " W" "D" as well as the left CTRL, SHIFT and the SPACEBARD keys had all been rubbed away from my frantic keyboarding. Now, to Saitek's credit, getting multiple replacement keys hasn't been hard at all, but that was the one thing I had been looking forward to on this keyboard, the fact that these specific keys were "metal".
Well, they're not metal. Well, to be precise, they're layered with some type of chrome or other light metal, to technically, you can't say Saitek lied. Techically. Unfortunately, the "A" key is already rubbing off, as in the etching that allows the "A" to be seen from the backlight is rubbing off.
Otherwise, the keyboard functions very well. The touch pad is very responsive, and the ability to shift into "Cyborg" mode at the touch of a single "button" is nice. The programmable keys are good, but at a somewhat ... unique angle to natural keyboard finger placements. I had absolutely no issue installing the keyboard and drivers, unlike some previous installations of the Saitek Eclipse driver.
I'd rate it a B+.
Awesome + more June 1, 2008

I can't say enough...it's AWESOME. The lighting, the option of lighting different areas of the keyboard, and with different colors I may add. And you can't forget about the special macro making side buttons for gaming 10x. Get this keyboard, you won't regret it !!
