Pros: Very comfortable keyboard to use for typing as well as gaming. Red backlighting is very nice, a welcome change from the blue LEDs you see everywhere. Wrist rest attaches to the keyboard and can be pulled out a bit if you like. Feels sturdy enough.

Cons: This keyboard has no extra buttons that a standard 104-key keyboard doesn't have, except volume control and a key that controls the backlighting. Not a concern for me at all since I never use them anyway (hence the 5 egg rating) but it might be a con for some people who like media keys.

Overall Review: Bought this because I just wanted a basic keyboard that is backlit, and this fits my needs perfectly.

Pros: Quiet keys, not overbearing, sturdy (well built), very good backlighting, adjustable brightness (off, dim, bright), very "techie" looking (yes it looks cool!). PRICE

Cons: Some of the keys are a little hard to read unless you have the keyboard at a high angle. The primary keys though (A-Z) are well lit and easy to read. Angle height could be better, the keyboard does not raise up very high with the built in collapsible legs (or supports). Why is there a $10.00 difference between the blue & the red?

Overall Review: I bought two of these. One red, one blue...I like the blue better only because it matches the blue lights on my desktop computer. I just purchased two more of these (one for a friend and one for my wife who both loved 'em when they seen 'em). I would highly recommend these keyboards to anyone who works in dim lighting or wants something really cool looking (that functions GREAT) on their desk. PS - I typed this on my new keyboard under some pretty dim lights, SWEET.

Pros: No hassle to use. Great lighting in a dark room. Solid key feel and great for gaming. I've read that the red backlighting is brighter and more consistant than the blue backlit version but i have only had experience with this red version.

Cons: I have 2 of these on 2 pcs and the commonly used gaming keys are starting to lose the gray paint on them. One of them is fine after the same amount of use. It seems hit and miss as to whether you will have some fading on your most often used keys. Guess it depends if you slide your fingertips acroos the keys or 'peck type" like I do. That issue cost the keyboard an egg.

Overall Review: In spite of the wear issues, I just bought 2 more of these for Christmas presents. People who see it always go "OOOhhh...Ahhhh"

Pros: Red Backlit Keys w/ 2 intensity levels (control Brightness) Plus a 3rd setting to allow you to turn the backlighting OFF!.......extends Life of the keyboard. Solid Construction Responsive, No Lag So Far. Keystroke is good. The shape is cool. It's Lightweight and fairly Compact

Cons: None Whatsoever.

Overall Review: I wanted a Wireless 2.4gh Red-Backlit keyboard....... Not sure one exists that's worth the money as of yet.. so I settled for this! I could list a couple features that'd make this keyboard a lil better, but for the money vs features vs the fact that this keyboard was mf'd in '05, It's Awesome. Overall, it's a decent keyboard. It looks Awesome w/ my Soprano RS Piano Black Mid ATX Tower Case (W/ all red LEDs as well).. so my entire system looks kinda evil....... I gave my monitor to a friend and got a 40" Bravia HDTV to replace it..........All Black Components now w/ RED Lights!.......... So this keyboard completes the look! Buy This one!........it's a very nice keyboard......prob not the best for gaming, but you can pair it with a gaming mouse to make up for that!........ just assign more of the functionality to the mouse!

Pros: Backlighting is nice, key response is pretty good, comfortable to type at for long periods

Cons: Cons: Backlighting not all that even - there are brighter spots (this is more evident on the red keyboards then on the blue ones.. The right CTRL key is BRIGHT)

Overall Review: I'm not a gamer. I use this keyboard to work in low-light situations. I currently own 6 of these (3 Red and 3 Blue) ... I've had 2 of the blue ones for over a year (with daily use in an office envirnment) with no issues of the paint wearing off. We also have 11 of these in public areas (Video consoles for theaters) and again - no issues. I think that qualifies as a great keyboard. Note:I've only had the Red ones for about a month

Pros: The red backlighting is great on the eyes during low light conditions. I would recommend the red version over the blue since blue seems overly bright and obnoxious in the dark. Very quiet keys, overall just a good keyboard. Also, buy this instead of the Saitek gamers keyboard. The gamers keyboard does not illuminate the letters on the keys while the eclipse models do.

Cons: Backlighting is uneven throughout the board, the numpad and arrow buttons seem dull while the entire left side is well lit.

Overall Review: Don't be cheap when it comes to keyboards.

Pros: ERGONOMICS: The weight, touch, and design of this keyboard is my favorite in 30 years of computing. I fell in love with it right away. DURABILITY: No problems with the paint or keycaps after a year of hard use. Looks and feels as good now as it did when it was new out of the box.

Cons: BACKLIGHT: I use it with the backlight off, but if you depend on it you may find the illumination a bit uneven. While it's plenty to see what you're doing in the dark, some of the keys have dark spots, so it's just not as _pretty_ as it could be. Also, the backlight reverts to the brightest setting when you restart. That said, I much prefer the red LEDs over the blue for use in the dark. WRIST REST: The wrist rest seemed to be an afterthought, and may distract from the solid feel of the keyboard. I just didn't bother with it. If you use the keyboard on your desk surface it's really not necessary.

Overall Review: INSTALL: When installing the Saitek Eclipse keyboard, if Windows prompts you for drivers, it may simply be missing the USB.INF file. Check your Windows\Inf folder to make sure this file is there; if not it can be recopied from the Windows installation CD (you may need to use EXTRACT.EXE to uncompress the file).

Pros: I have had this keyboard for over a year but It was wearing out from my extreme, gaming, usage..I saw it was on the "jaw dropping" daily deal for only $21 shipped free so I jumped on it...sad thing is I did not recieve it..instead i received over $750.00s worth of other gear..see other thoughts for that nightmare..

Cons: for a price like $21.00 shipped there are no cons..even at 40 dollars its worth it but I have a limited income and can not justify buying a corded keyboard at the normal price

Overall Review: Honesty can be very costly at NewEgg!...instead of my keyboard I rcvd. three 1 TB WD green hard drives...2 250 gig seagate HDs...a 9800GTX+ 512 meg vid card and an intel cpu heatsink and fan...the box and all documentation stated it was a keybaord so I could have just kept all the mis-shipped gear as a late christmas present :))...but I am seriousely honest So I grabbed a live chat with newegg customer service...long story short ..they would not send a package pickup slip to retreive the mis shipped gear...they said I must get the package to the nearest U.P.S. facility(nearest for me is 80 miles round trip..I told them I was disabled and snowed in..they said sorry for the inconvenience...all in all I ended up having to pay to have the gear delivered to the U.P.S. facility..no keyboard..loss of over $100(that $100s was supposed to pay for the vista premium 64 bit OS)..now I must wait another month to get the funds to buy the operating system..honesty bites!
