5 out of 5 stars Saitek Gamers Keyboard & Command Pad   January 7, 2009
I've used this keyboard for the better part of 4 years. It's been through the gauntlet of multiple moves, countless falls and it's held up magnificently. In my search for a 2nd one, for my other gaming rig, I've come across this thread and thought I'd provide my experience. If you love the freedom of not being bound to the standard keyboard shortcuts for gaming, or never thought there was an alternative (aside from other periphs like Z-boards and the like, which tend to be more over-kill and unnecessarily packed with a bunch of useless buttons) the Command pad provides a very simple and effective alternative... One that I've come to adapt to all of my gaming needs and couldn't imagine gaming without.


4 out of 5 stars Saitek nice for the money Keypad not so much   May 27, 2007
I just recieved my new Saitek Keyboard. I like the feel and spacing of the keys. My fat fingers do not hit two keys at once. This is the third lighted keyboard I have tried this one is better than any other I have used.
The back lighting is actually useful and having two levels and off is nice.
The keypad is essebtially useless to me as I do not play games and would rather assign keyboard shortcuts for frequently used programs.
Has a very good feel and keys are easy to push when you strike them off center. I like it and feel it was worth the 50 bucks.



4 out of 5 stars Works great, but flickers in the corner of your eye..   May 13, 2007
The keyboard itself is great. The keys are soft and quiet, and the extra number pad is great for us left handed mousers who don't want to reach across the keyboard for the number hotkeys in games. The only problem with is is that the LEDs clearly pulse at 60hz, which is fine if you stare right at them, but when you are looking at your monitor, they constantly flicker in your peripheral vision, and like me, you will probably end up turning them off every time you reboot.

LEDs bad, keyboard great.

And it's worked well. Recommended that you bind your keypad for buys in Steam games.


4 out of 5 stars Its a great work keyboard too   April 26, 2007

Though its called the Gamer's Keyboard, I'm using it mostly for work. At first I did buy it for gaming. But after typing away at it for a few minutes, i realize how easy and quickly I'm typing. I'm mildly surprised that a keyboard can make you type a bit faster. Besides for my Microsoft wave keyboard, I've always used stock keyboards that came with my computers. This keyboard is a huge improvement over those. And its profile is way better than my old wave keyboard. That one didn't fit in my keyboard drawer.

I like how simple the layout is. Too bad the wire on the game pad is too short. I'm having a hard time fitting it in my keyboard drawer with my mouse there. Other than that, good item.

I would love it if Saitek had more prebuilt profiles for games and such out there. I would love it even more if it had profiles for business aps. I'm currently trying to speed things up in excel by automating some of my keystrokes with the pad.

I'm loving the blue glow. I've been able to play games on it at night without using a desklamp because of it. I haven't had a problem with not being able to see the letters in the dark, I just need to know where the keys are, I already know WHAT they are. Besides who can find time to hunt and peck in the middle of a 3 on 3 battle in Warcraft?
