Pros: Solid keyboard, dimmable backlights and some basic media buttons. Good feel to it as you type.

Cons: No programmable buttons, but I've never had a need for them anyway.

Overall Review: I purchased this keyboard several years ago from a retail store and it has been flawless. I had read a review or two of the black coming off the keys and after years of heavy use mine still looks just fine. I would buy it again and recommend it to anyone.

Pros: Three selectable back light colors are adjustable in intensity with the default being blue. I have two of these keyboards in use now and will buy another to go with my next pc build. Fully functional in all aspects in all the Linux distributions I have played with Ubuntu included, truly PnP across the board.

Cons: Back Light does not show the Media Keys (play/pause, fwd/rev. vol up/dn, mute)

Overall Review: adding the back light feature to media keys would perfect this keyboard, otherwise... change nothing! Another afterthought here: Why do manufacturers put the Windows logo on the "super" key??? a simple "sup" or even some generic logo would suffice. Not everyone connects keyboards to a Windows system.

Pros: Quick and easy - plug n play User friendly Looks cool

Cons: Doesn't give me a nice back rub after a long day's pwn.

Pros: 3 LED color choices, keys feel just right, solid construction.

Cons: The corners have these large plastic pieces that make the keyboard large and may not fit on a smaller keyboard shelf with a mouse. The LEDs could be a little brighter. Only minor issues.

Overall Review: I researched other LED keyboards that were either way too expensive, or some that were very cheap. The cheaper models experienced the letters on the keys rubbing off, and the LEDs failing constantly. I never had a problem with my first one (burned in a fire), so I decided to go with the Saitek again, and it has a great quality and value.

Pros: Beautiful uniform back lighting available in three colors. The lighting is most certainly bright enough (some people say it's kinda dim, but that's only in bright lighting. Right now the window is open on an overcast day, I have a lamp on, and I can still see the keys and the back lighting just fine) Side lighting is cool, I personally don't think it takes away from the overall brightness, it gives the board a nice glow around it. There's also a glossy finish on the black plastic around the keys which is nice. Keys feel solid but are not loud; more soft sounding. They don't really feel 'mushy' to me as some people say, they still give a good amount of tactile feedback. Media buttons are simple but are all I really need as far as those go. Solid construction; cable seems pretty heavy duty compared to other cables, actual weight of the board is quite heavy for a keyboard (helps it stay on desk and not move around). Size seems just right.

Cons: The wrist rest seems a bit flimsy and tacked on, not as solidly built as the rest of the keyboard. Nevertheless, it works. Numlock,capslock, ect. are only in blue (which causes a small spot of purple glow around the F7 & 8 keys when the board is set on Red), but that is a minuscule con!

Overall Review: I bought this to replace a wireless keyboard I had, and I got tired of waiting for it to connect and how it sometimes lost connection. This board has solved that issue and I think it's a great improvement! I also got it because I wanted the back lighting to go with the Red & Black theme of my computer :] I wouldn't call this a gamers board really, it's pretty simple as far as features go. I wouldn't call back lighting a gamers feature because I have my keys memorized anyway. But does it satisfy being a gamer? Of course, I like simplicity when it comes to gaming, I don't need macros and the other things I would never use anyway. I favor Red & Blue, but my mom and sister just love the purple color...

Pros: Once again Saitek / Madcatz another great product at low cost this is my 2nd Saitek keyboard in 10 years. I looked at others and keep coming back to Saitek for the Quality and price, Key strokes are smooth, Heavy base keeps from sliding around, looks very nice on your desk, Standard Key layout, no software needed to make functions work, KB measures. 6.75" wide w/o hand rest 9.5" with hand rest, 19.5" long, lots of Bling with the lights Red / Blue / Purple, Multimedia buttons work without software. can see the letters with the lights off for late night gaming. Would buy again.

Cons: Can't disable windows key, Keyboard color always defaults to Blue after restarting PC.

Overall Review: Great price and free shipping

Pros: My fingers just simply glide off the keys when I type, three very distinct colors, awesome that you can make it really bright or really dim, or jsut turn them off if you'd prefer, very sturdy and overall high quality design, media keys not necessary for a gaming keyboard but definitely a plus.

Cons: While the main keys are very bright, the rightside of the keyboard is somewhat dimmer than the rest, media keys do not light up, some discrepancies between lighting across the keybaord (i.e. some parts are ever so slightly brighter than other)

Overall Review: This is moslty nitpicking since the keyboard is sensibly priced and has a very decent range of features. Definitely seems like an improvement over the first Eclips keyboard, and is not the huge behemoth that the G15 is. Neither is it the ever portable slimline that the Creative Fatal1ty keyboard is. This keyboard is designed for the average player who wants fancy extravagances without all the bulk and hulk of the other extremes. Would buy again if I ever need to replace it.

Pros: This keyboard is one of the best Saitek has put out in my opinion. The first 2-3 single color boards didn't last long, the keys would eventually start going dead. This one I've had sine 2010, bought from Newegg, and it's still going strong. No dead keys or leds. Highly recommended.

Cons: NONE
