Default Saitek Eclipse2 keyboard

Finally got my spanking new Saitek Eclipse2 keyboard today. This one is an improved version to the original Eclipse, the new one sports new features such as 3 different back lighting to choose from like red, blue and purple.
Also has a adjustable dimmer switch to make the back lighting dim to bright to suit your needs. With this keyboard, you can actually see the keys in total pitch black darkness with ease. Overall appearance is much better compared to the original Eclipse, now as for the media keys there is nothing much to say actually jus plain simple functions like play, skip, pause/stop and volume controls. Typing on this keyboard is very comfortable to begin with, even the original was great to use hence why I opted to get another Saitek keyboard. Sorry for the low quality pics as I took them with my cellphone.

These are my two Saiteks........the original one up top and the new one below.


media buttons and dimmer switch.

Wow, nice. Didn't know the colors changed, that's way cool. It's always hard trying to stand out of the casual blue lighting. Sadly I myself wasn't able, but at least it's not too much so it's still good looking. I'm a geek with taste, heh. :P




If there is a final hour, let's hope for a higher power. One by one, and two by two, I have ammo, what about you?

I have that one, but its silver w/black keys.

I love it, and I would absolutely buy the Eclipse II, except I'm not a fan of those buttons at the top right (or spending money).

i think my keyboard LED is dying... i guess time pass and its been 2 years since i've been fragging hard with this keyboard, suprisingly its the side where the arrow keys and enter button area where the LED dimming is occurring. nothing affecting the effectiveness of the keys though...
