I purchased this wonderful keyboard in 2005 and as of this product review, all is good. I use my Saitek mostly for emails and essays. When I decide to take a break for game time, I mostly use a mouse. I can understand that should a serious gamer use the Saitek Eclipse, specific gaming keys will certainly show signs of wear. Sweaty, Doritos encrusted fingers will in time destroy the silver finish on the Saitek keyboard. LOL. However, for the rest of us who simply want a nice, comfortable typing experience - I say buy this without hesitation. The beautiful blue back lit keys are a wonderful bonus when typing in low light conditions. Try it, you'll like it. Peace. ......
Great keyboard for the price. The blue light is really soothing at night but it doesn't show up all the keys real sharp. ......
If you type really quickly (over 110 wpm) you will find that this keyboard sometimes switches the characters you type around so that the leftmost character is registered first. Example: if I type "would have" quickly, I often get "woudl ahve" instead. Note that this is a reproducible glitch and has to do with poor hardware design of the keyboard itself, not with my style of typing--these glitches don't happen on my laptop's keyboard when I use it.
This keyboard also does not allow you to press 3 keys simultaneously for some combination of keys (for example, the keys r y u cannot be pressed at the same time. This also affects a few other keys that are used in FPSes, etc.)
I would not recommend this keyboard to anyone who is serious about gaming or speed typing.

My keys are pretty smudged, at the moment, the A,S,D,E,C,V,B,N,L,LEFT SHIFT,and space bar are barely readable. Also unless you are in a very dark room, the keys are easier to read with the LED turned off. As for operations, it works fine, no bad keys, no erratic behavior. This is why it pains me to get a new keyboard, but I can't take it anymore. I will probably keep it as a backup keyboard.......
I purchased this keyboard in January, and at first liked it quite a bit. The backlighting is accomplished by painting the keys silver, and leaving the letters bare so it shines through each letter. Unfortunately, within about a month one of the keys (A) had the paint so worn off as to be unreadable. This has since spread to 5 other keys, making it a mess to look at, and making the backlight worthless.
Contacted the parent company (Saitek in the UK), who referred me to their US counterpart, Madkatz. I've contacted them three times for either replacement keys or a replacement keyboard, to no avail. They claim everything from "we don't have keys" to "we will send replacements right out", and they never do.
Do not buy. You will regret the expenditure as soon as the keys begin to wear, and they will not back up their product. Very dissatisfied. ......
