Introduction

We first took a look at the Saitek Eclipse Illuminated keyboard back in November. After reviewing that keyboard I have used it ever since. The original Eclipse keyboard was very eye catching and one of a kind with its illuminated keys and original design. Now Saitek has just come out with the Eclipse II. This version has even more features than the original. Media keys, a light dimmer mechanism and 3 different color choices are just some of the features that the Eclipse II has to offer. So let's take a look...

Specs

Here is some information about the Eclipse II from Saitek's website.

The Saitek Eclipse II keyboard builds on the success of the backlit Eclipse and Gaming keyboards, now offering a choice of colours - purple, red and blue - selectable by the user and adjustable via a dimmer mechanism. The key characters and keypad illuminate making the Eclipse II keyboard ideal for use in any lighting environment.

Solidly constructed from high quality materials including a stylish silver casing, the Eclipse II's weighted base and large area rubber feet keep it firmly planted to the desk, while cushioned, silent keys mean hours of fatigue-free use.

Features:
- Key characters and keypad illuminate through laser-etched keys
- Media keys for volume control, play/pause and skip tracks
- Variable backlighting adjusts through dimmer mechanism
- Angle adjustment and extendable wrist rest for maximum comfort to suit the way you type
- Weighted base with large area rubber feet to keep keyboard securely planted to the desk
- Quiet, cushioned keys for hours of stress-free use
- Familiar 104 key layout
