Computing - Saitek Eclipse II Keyboard Review - Part 2

Here is a close-up of the "extra" keys on this keyboard. People who like their keyboards to cook their dinner or open their DVD trays will be disappointed.

Extra Controls

No matter which of the three colours you choose for the overall glow of the keyboard your "Lock" options are always going to be indicated with these blue LED's (even if you choose the "no glow" option)

Blue Lock lights

Gaming is also a joy on this keyboard - again the response from the keys means that you know when you have pressed the button but there isn't so much effort required that your fingers start to feel tired after any real length of time. Overall tiredness will set in long before your fingers would tire of using this keyboard. When gaming you do tend to be a little more vigorous with the keyboard than during normal use and you really get the impression that this keyboard can put up with such treatment. You will also find that the keyboard does stay put on even a shiny desk thanks to the rubber feet in each corner.

Rubber Feet

Four of these on the bottom of the keyboard along with a whole row of rubber feet on the detachable wrist rest means that once planted this keyboard is not going to easily move around.

Height Adjustment

Two of these mounted on the back of the keyboard means that you've got plenty of choice with regards height and overall position of the keyboard. These devices follow the overall solid feel of the keyboard and you feel that they could take a lot of punishment.

Guide Parts 1, 2, 3
