Pros: Works great. Looks cool. Blue LEDs make typing in the dark a no-brainer.

Cons: Viewing the keyboard at a low-enough angle, the characters on the keys can still be hard to make out. This is especially true of the smaller fonts, like on the Function keys, which all look generally like blue blurs. But this is something I can definitely live with for such a solid keyboard.

Other Thoughts: Should I ever go to a lan party again, I'll expect some oohs and aahs.

Pros: Decent keyboard, allows dimming of illumination.

Cons: Poor execution of back-lighting of a keyboard. Some of the LEDs were off-center and only illuminated portions of the keys (mainly the space, backspace, shift, and enter keys).

Other Thoughts: Haven't tried the keyboard in full darkness, but then the light coming from the monitor would illuminate it to the point where the spotty backlighting would not be much benefit.

Pros: Takes up comparatively little space on the desktop.

Cons: Doesn't work. My keyboard arrived with an internal electrical contact broken, so the top row of keys (Q through P) didn't work, except for T and Y in the center. The backlighting doesn't show through the upper keys very well, and the manufacture of the keys is so shoddy that irregularities in painting show up in the backlit letters.

Pros: Cool-looking, comfortable, sturdy

Cons: After about 3 years of use, some of my most used keys have worn so that the backlight shines through more, and the letter is hard to read.

But I still love the keyboard.

Other Thoughts: Cleaning the keyboard by disassembling it took about 8 screws, but it wasn't too much of a hassle.

Pros: Have owned for 4+ years. I use this keyboard hours daily and under heavy use, gaming and business. Not one key is worn. Not one problem or issue. Blue lighting, 3 adjustable levels. Volume control via buttons. Almost flawless with Windows 7 64 bit.

Cons: A couple of older games require an alt tab back to the desktop for the volume keys to work.

Other Thoughts: Probably one of the best computer products I've ever used.

Pros: Quiet typing. Nice backlight

Cons: Repeats keys. Toggles mute. Opens search window. Basically the thing is possessed. Can replicate this on ANY computer.

Other Thoughts: Researched this problem and it is/was widespread on the internet at the time of release (c. 2007). I wouldn't recommend this keyboard to anyone. Better off springing for a Logitech!

Pros: Love it, my fingers and hands are large, the keys on this key board are large and well spaced. I cannot use a small "pushed togeather" keyboard. I like the feel of the keys actually doing something. I wanted a lighted keyboard and this one is great.

Cons: The blue lighting is a little bit dark, the blue could have been a lighter shade of blue. It is very nice looking but the dark shade of blue is hard to see. A lighter shade of blue would earn it 8 eggs ;o)

Other Thoughts: If you want a keyboard that feels like a key board, and is lighted, this is it.

Pros: One of the most solid entry level keyboards out there! NewEgg is slightly priced higher than most but that's okay because I received the keyboard within 24 hours!

Cons: It depends on what you want out of your keyboard. I wanted very minimal features with a nice look and backlit keys. I will surely purchase Saitek in the future.

Other Thoughts: Unfortunately have to send the unit back because I decided to try out the Saitek Eclipse II from a retail store. I may just keep the Eclipse as a backup.

Pros: Nice feel to the keys, easy to connect, no software to install

Cons: I haven't had it long, but already the grey paint is chipping a bit

Other Thoughts: It's cheap, and works very well. Only the durability is in question, so over all it is a great buy

Pros: Adjustable backlight intensity level, good key response/feel, and solid feel.

Cons: The feet don't provide as much keyboard tilt as I like but that is minor.

Other Thoughts: Overall, this is a good keyoboard for typing and I am happy that the illumination can be turned off or set at two different illumination intensities. The key response is good and the keyboard has a solid heft to it increasing the appearance of good construction. Unlike some other lighted keyboards, this one has cut outs for the letters instead of a paint which should increase longevity.
