keyboard failures when light is on! June 22, 2008 [...] When my keyboard started opening search windows all by itself! with the letters asd in them- I found it was a defect with the light- which is WHY I bought this keyboard. Their site's forum (see link above) had many instances of the same and other forms of freaking out. If you turn off the light- it stops this behavior- but when you reboot- it defaults back to the light on high (worst). I left my pc to reboot before going to bed and forgot about my problem and in the morning I heard error sounds- the keyboard had so many search windows opened- it took several minutes to close them all (had no group option?). Because I need lighted keys- I am now in search of a new keyboard. PS- gamers say keys rub off QUICKLY and Saitek just sends them new ones. BOTTOM LINE- IF you buy this keyboard- SAVE YOUR RECEIPT= chances are you will need it- if it happens within 2 years. My research says Eclipse II fixed erratic behavior but not keys wearing out. Please post reviews on your purchases- people like me depend on other's experiences! Thanks
Nice job Amazon May 23, 2008 Received this item very quickly in the mail from Amazon.com. Works great. Nice soft keys that don't click loudly on press, wrist bar, good price. Thanks Amazon.
Exactly what I wanted May 14, 2008 Everything is just great with the product. I can see the keys without any lights on and that is all I care about. It is easy to type on and there are absolutely no problems.
Excellent! April 18, 2008 I highly recommend this keyboard for all gamers and just computer users in general. It has lasted me quite a while now and it still lights up well. There's only one problem with it, however, but this may just be this particular keyboard. At times (not often, maybe two-three times before), the USB cable would stop working and the keys wouldn't work at all. The power is on because the blue light is on, but I cannot type anything. This is the only issue I see with this product and I'm sure for many others, this problem wouldn't occur often at all.
The best part about this keyboard is the silence from typing. These keys are incredibly quiet, which is especially nice since I hate hearing keyboard 'clicking' sounds.
Excellent Buy! April 14, 2008 The keys are very quiet, and the backlit feature is nice. It's very well-made, however, the backlit function could be brighter =/. Overall, it was worth my money.
