Pros: after 8 yrs of using my "eclipse" in my mancave for gaming mostly, my keyboard drawer screws came out and it fell last week .the spacebar went then a few other keys after that . i dont know how many beers i spilled into the keys but it was more than 10 over the years ,and it always kept working fine . well this keyboard feels identical and is much better lit . i am extremely happy i dont have to get used to a new keyboard :)

Cons: none i love the light color options and its real easy to switch and dim

Pros: This keyboard has lasted for almost a decade; and is still going strong. The only thing that has broken is one of the kickstands, but some superglue can fix that. Backlight still is going fairly strong. All the function keys is still work. No keys have faded, and this keyboard has seen regular use, especially for the past 5 years.

Cons: It's not mechanical, which for gamers is a con. So I knocked an egg purely just for that. The only other con is that the backlighting doesn't go through the keys, the letters are solid and don't allow the glow through. So even though backlit, the keys can be hard to see at night compared to other key boards.

Overall Review: Don't bother with the knock offs. It's form not quality they seem.

Pros: This is a comment from Eclipse's very first version and I plan to get one maybe in another year or two +Durable +Stylish +Has everything you'll ever need +Basic (I like basic) +Will last you a long time

Cons: -Paint on keys come off over-time -If you have small desk, this might be a problem since they keyboard is quite long (That's what she said!) -Spacebar problems

Overall Review: This comment is experience from it's first version and the new version are almost the same, except that the volume controls are different from each keyboard. (Wheel vs Button) I've had this keyboard for about 7-8+ years now and it's still in good condition. I recommend not eating food over the keyboard since they'll fall under and it'll be very annoying to take out. (I just left it in there D:) Has all the basic things you'll need and for the price, how can you pass up?! It's durable enough for me at least since I don't "ASDVASDASTQ" on my keyboard a lot and the keys are very responsive. The feel when you click is comfortable and does make a bit of noise since it is mechanical. If you have someone next to you and they're light-sleepers this can be a problem if you type a lot. The only real problem that I found with the keyboard is that after heavy use (for gaming at least), the paint on the keys that you've used the most will start to come off. This isn't a problem for me since I don't care but if you cannot type without forgetting what button is where and which is what then I'll just recommend something else like the Microsoft keyboards. Since I've used this for many years and bought it when it was more expensive, I really recommend this to anyone that needs a cool looking-reliable keyboard that will last you a really long time. If you're looking advanced keyboards then look elsewhere.

Pros: well, im writing this using that keyboard. the first eclipse. the space bar is giving my an issue, its the spring, some kid beat on it cause his character wasn't jumping. the ink has worn off the gaming keys...a,s,d,c,e....it makes everything so much easier at night, and looks real neato....

Cons: it needs a bath after 3 years, wish i had a replacement spacebar spring...when the new one comes i will fix this.

Overall Review: glad the price still isnt almost 100 bucks. hope the quality is the same. i want this next one to last 3 years also.

Pros: Excellent tactile response. Solid Feel. Retractable palm rest. Color choice to match mouse and/or case.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: Great solid keyboard .

Pros: This THING has been working for over 3 years ,I've spilt drinks on it too many times to count.Knocked it over on the floor a hundred times and it still works.Even the 3 lights still work.Even the dimmer knob works.It also has a volume control.

Cons: As many keyboards as i've been through over the years and this THING still works.All the others don't compare to this.I could have bought 6 of these with the money i've wasted,over the years.

Overall Review: I dropped a large 50lb. plaque on it broke 2 keys still works.No other board would have lived through that.I've had friends who spent over a 100 $ on KB's and in 2-3 years they fall apart all the keys still have there letter's visible.It just won't DIE even my friends don't believe it's the same board after all these years.And i don't work for ...Saitek

Pros: It lasted a bit over a year, through ample use of superglue.

Cons: The keyboard is downright flimsy, cheap plastic connections that break under any real use with ease, the superglue I used for some odd 40 repairs actually improved the durability beyond the original design. The plastic connectors under the keys broke regularly. Expect to pay the keyboard's cost in superglue alone if you need this keyboard for more than a few months. The LED illumination is downright poor, I found myself using the pink/purple option purely so I could actually see the backlit keys in a dim room, even the highest settings are barely visible, especially the dull blue option. I only kept this around as long as I did because I dropped $80 on this garbage a year ago, I wouldn't take another one of these if it was given to me for free.

Overall Review: Avoid it, consider yourself warned.

Pros: I've been rockin this keyboard since 2007... still going strong. None of the ink on the keys have worn off as some other reviewers have said.

Cons: However its age as shown... the backlights have started to fade (magenta still works :) Also my "L" key has become a bit touchy. I have to press hard to make it work on sometimes. Otherwise fully functional.
