Digital camera reviews of Saitek Eclipse II Keyboard (PK02AU)
Digital camera Review: Nice but keys lose paint quickly
Summary: 4 Stars
I've only had this keyboard for about a year and the "A", "S" and "N" keys have no paint left of them.
I've never had a keyboard in which the letters on the keys wore off?!
I like to change the colors, occasionally and the keys themselves are very smooth and easy to use.
Digital camera Review: Bests Key Board EVER
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm not a gamer but I must tell you I LOVE this keyboard! Everyone that sees it wants it!
It's beautiful on the purple color & HOT with the red lighting while the blue lighting is nice & neutral.
Works great, I also like the feel of the keys as you type. Sure not sorry I opted for this one!
Digital camera Review: Lights GOOD, keys BAD
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this specifically so I could type in the dark while not disturbing my special lady friend sleeping in the bed. The lights are great and all the colors light up very vibrantly and the level of intensity is also cool but not really necessary. You pretty much want light or you dont.
When I opened it new from the box and plugged it in, I noticed two keys had a few spots where the black coating had worn a little. When lit up, you could see clearly that light was coming through on spots of these keys were the coating had worn, easy fix, took some black model paint i had laying around and problem solved. Bottom line, the black coating isn't the best quality and obviously has some problems with wearing or chipping.
As for the soft keys, I would say this keyboard is no more quiet than any normal keyboard you would get factory shipped with a new computer. Its not quiet but its not loud. The biggest complaint I have with this keyboard is some of the keys have preasure sensitivity problems. My 'n' and 'enter' key need to be nearly punched in order for it to register. Highly annoying when typing something like a paper or messages at a fast past and noticing that none of the n's you typed are in there.
Bottom line, lights are awesome but there are some apparent quality issues with this keyboard. A wireless would be sweet but then again I got this keyboard because my last one sucked up batteries like crazy.
Digital camera Review: Broken keys after a few months of light use
Summary: 1 Stars
Four of the keys stopped working after just a few months of light use. I had to switch back to my HP keyboard, which also has issues, but at least the keys work. I won't purchase this brand again.Digital camera Review: Terrible keyboard, no support.
Summary: 1 Stars
A week after purchasing this keyboard (Saitek Eclipse II), the N key would randomly stop working. I popped off the key and found that the gel pad underneath the keys wasn't aligned correctly. I was able to stuff something under the bottom of the N key to get it to strike the pin correctly. Problem solved. Another week or so later, the shift keys would intermittently act as if they were being held down. This wasn't a big deal though as it didn't happen that often. A few days later I noticed that the entire number pad would stop responding for a few minutes at a time. Then the arrow keys randomly started going by themselves. Then I started losing LEDs. After that more keys stopped functioning like the N key did originally. After I had had the keyboard for about six weeks, I e-mailed the manufacturer. After waiting two weeks for a response, I sent them another e-mail. Waited another week. Sent another e-mail. No response. I tried calling but could never get through, their phone line just kept referring me back to the website, which would in turn say to e-mail them about defective products. I ended up just pulling out my old $15 Logitech keyboard and tossing this one in the closet where it will never see the light of day again. I really want to try the Saitek Eclipse III, especially considering it has some glowing reviews, but I just don't think I want to risk throwing away another $60.
