Saitek Eclipse II Keyboard (PK02AU) Reviews
I have had absolutely no problems with it. Just plug it in, and it works. The lights are very bright, and can be adjusted to fit your brightness and color choice. I've purchased it twice, the first one had a bad run in with a glass of orange juice, but that was my fault, (tragic story).
This is a wonderful keyboard. Happy typing. The keys are nice and crisp, and have a great "springy" feel to them. (I'm typing this review with it). If you like to type with the lights off or low, or just want a cool keyboard, this is definitely the one to get. Razor sharp and clear.
No issues what so ever with the letters rubbing off, or wearing down at all.
I enjoyed this purchase, I would get it if I were you. The LED's aren't super bright, but it glows very lovingly in the dark.
the keys them self have a griped texture to them, so they do not feel like cheap plastic. over all it is a great keyboard. with the different color displays and the brightness control nob, it makes it nice to use in the dark. this keyboard is awesome.
So if you plan on using it a lot, expect it to eventually break on you sooner than you would normally expect. However, the plastic they use is CHEEP. The designs of this keyboard are standard. Oddly enough, the switch portion still worked. The LED is nice. This is the only keyboard where I have actually broken the space *bar*, not the switch of the space bar, but the plastic bar itself.
Simple Solution: Call or email Saitek. 2. No questions asked, so this means they are getting a lot of laser-etched key issues from consumers. One is a simple solution and it worked. 1.
Perhaps this will be fixed on the Saitek III. Here are two suggestions because I had this same problem. The other is more complicated "prevention" that stops this to begin with.
Try removing each and every key. I've read a lot of reviews about the laser-etched keys on the Eclipse wearing off. Once you have removed the keys, a very light spraying of non-yellowing clear top-coat spray paint does the trick (and, no, they don't get sticky unless you used a cheap top-coat paint).
I'm really not sure why Saitek doesn't do this already because of the wear-away problems. Complicated Prevention: Once you buy this product and/or have replaced the damaged keys, follow keyboard aficionados advice (not mine, BTW). They replaced the keys I had problems with and sent them by Fed-X.
