Saitek
Hey Heyseed -

I too have that schnazzy Saitek keyboard. I've had three Saitek's because their clicky keys are THE best! However, all three of my Saitek's including this current red/blue/purple alien one are loosing the paint on the keys. I thought the alien one had laser etched keys so that wouldn't be an issue, but lo and behold, I have blobs of white on my black keys on the commonly used letters.

On the plus side, when this happened to my first Saitek, I contacted the company. They said they never heard of that problem (though the internet was loaded with complaints), and they sent me a new keyboard, no questions asked. Can't find any complaints about the paintless keys on this current one (Eclipse II). I must have fingers of death.

Brand is Saitek....
I am on my third one and I love it. Have yet to find another keyboard with a touch like this one. It is not silent - it clicks, which is what I really like about it. Nothing at all like a laptop keyboard which make my fingers dyslexic. Bought a MS keyboard, but it sits in the corner as I type much faster with my Saitek, worn off letters and all. The fact that the letter disappear is my only complaint. The light up feature is nice, but in my opinion not bright enough. Gotta say though, it is pretty cool 'cause you can change the colors to purple, red or blue.

eclipse II by saitek is more quiet than some...
it has some nice features like it lights up different colors. The most quiet keyboard I have ever used was for the MAC and it was from Suntouch - absolutely the best, but you have to really search for it. Have you tried those little flat boards made of plastic? One brand is called brando flexible? I have not been brave enough to try this one but it looks interesting for sure...

Did you search? We discussed the Saitek Eclipse a few
