Cons:-Small-Numpad screen a bit slow and clumsy

Pros:-Cheap-Comfortable-Aesthetically pleasing
Comment:
On for 19.99 from 109.99, and at least 30$ cheaper than anywhere else online, for a keyboard of this quality i would buy again, though i would never pay more than 100$ for a keyboard.

Saitek Eclipse Lite Touch Wired Keyboard USB
Cons:The touch pad, unfortunately is also its downfall, it may not work when windows is resume from sleep and force to restart. Touchpad isn't very responsive and lags resulting in poor performance than standard keystroke num pad.

Pros:Innovative touch pad num pad. Fairly comfortable palm rest. Overall a good choice for multimedia keyboard. Black lit functionality
Comment:
It's not a bad keyboard overall at the current price point of $19.99 instead of the original $109.99. (go figure). Keep in mind the pros/cons before you want to buy this keyboard. For $20, I would still recommand anyone who likes the usability of this keyboard including its design

Cons:The one I got has a problem with the ":" Key. it sometimes takes a few strikes to get it which makes it harder to type smileys..I suppose that this is MadCatz way of making the internet a better place. Kudos to them for that

Pros:Sturdy construct,Low profile keys with a great feel, Adjustable backlight is nice.
Comment:
I am surprisingly happy with this keyboard, for $20 it is a great deal. I recommend this to anyone who is looking for a replacement for under $25

Saitek Eclipse Lite Touch Wired Keyboard USB
Cons:The profile you save for 'My Eclipse' mode has to be loaded every time you turn on the computer.

Pros:Excellent features and it only cost me $19.95. The back-lit keys are excellent.
Comment:
What an excellent keyboard. I paid $19.95 which is less than my former, boring general keyboard.It should have an off button so you turn off the back lighting thus increasing the back lighting's longevity.You don't need back lighting in the day time so it's a waste to have the back lighting on all the time.I like to turn off the lights when I get up at 3:00 AM and at night and, now, I can actually see what I'm typing.Overall this keyboard was beyond my expectations because of it's low price. I though I would get a dud but I hit the jackpot with this keyboard.I give this keyboard a 9.5/10!

Cons:- Touch screen is impractical- Function keys are right next to each other.

Pros:- Backlit keys are bright- Stylish- Comfortable to type with- Compact
Comment:
This keyboard was a steal for $25. Although the touchpad of the keyboard is impractical as it is much slower than using a traditional number pad, it has useful functions as well as programmable functions. The backlit keys are very bright and look great. Very comfortable to type with despite the compact size.

Saitek Eclipse Lite Touch Wired Keyboard USB
Cons:- Numpad is terrible - I'm forced to use the horizontal number keys above the keyboard- The prints on the keys started peeling within 2-3 weeks of use.- Windows 8 had problems recognizing the keyboard but it worked after reformatting my OS- I would not pay full price for this keyboard.

Pros:- Feels sturdy- Probably the best keyboard out there for $10(sales price)- Non-sticky responsive keys- Looks nice- Compact
Comment:
I bought this in-store for $10. It's very sturdy and probably better than my other keyboards lying around at home which costs more than $50. I'm giving it a 5-star because it is a very high quality keyboard for the price I paid. I definitely would not purchase this at its regular price though.

Saitek Eclipse Lite Touch Wired Keyboard USB
Cons:I have a problem sometimes when my laptop wakes up from sleep. The touch screen is completely black. The touch controls work, but there is no light and I cant get it back unless I take the USB off and plug it back on.I wish the right shift button was a bit longer.

Pros:The typing feels good. I like the touch screen. I don't think it's just a gimmick as I have read in some reviews. It is pretty useful to me.
Comment:
I bought this laptop on special for 18$ and it's more than worth it.

Cons:The touch keypad is not very practical

Pros:It's great for typing
Comment:
A sweet keyboard! The tactile touch is similar to an older T series Thinkpad, which is truly amazing. The numeric touch pad looks pretty, but is not really practical, but it does work. I would recommend this keyboard to anyone who likes something low profile that has good tactile touch!

Cons:Touchpad doesn't work half the time, not very sensitive, display disappears after awhile

Pros:Nice typing feel, minor tactile feedback, not very loud but still a nice clicking noise
Comment:
Again, generally a nice keyboard, not too friendly for mac users, still works generally but very limited. Nice feel, good quality, only downside is what they consider their main feature.

Comment:
Bought this on sale for $15 during Black Friday. It's a nice-looking keyboard that looks more expensive than for what it was purchased for. So far it is holding up but durability may be an issue in the future given other users' experiences.

Saitek Eclipse Lite Touch Wired Keyboard USB
Cons:Small CTRL button; compact orientation of the page up & down etc; no official support for additional keys in Linux. The backlight can be adjusted in brightness, but not turned off altogether.

Pros:Compact; Backlit Keys; stylish; light weight; super fast keys & response time; Decent ergonomic design; full sized keys; seems very well made.
Comment:
I bought two of these when they were on sale for $15 a few days ago, so obviously I am going to be quite happy with the price I paid. But I think this is definitely worth a lot more, and perhaps close to the actual purchase price. The first thing I noticed about it upon trying out typing is that it has excellent key-response and I was able to instantly type a lot faster than I had on my regular keyboard. The lower profile keys and low-pressure spring loading make typing on this thing a breeze.For those of you using Linux out there (like me), I took a risk on buying this thing only because it was so cheap. I was concerned that the numpad might not work at all. It does, in fact, work quite well and I was impressed with how many of the functions work out-of-the-box in Ubuntu. I have not attempted to make the MyEclipse programmable buttons do anything yet, but I suspect there are tools out there to manually program what they do. As far as the media buttons, many of them do in fact work. For example, the volume controller, the play/pause/skip buttons for media all work, among others.As others have mentioned, the keypad has a slightly lower response time when tapping out numbers. Also, the minus, plus, enter, and del buttons on the keypad are all in slightly different locations so if you use those a lot, this might take a little bit of getting used to. The slower response time means that this would not be an ideal keyboard for accountants or others who tap out a lot of numbers on a regular basis. Also, being a touch-sensitive number pad makes it a little disorienting when tapping out numbers without looking because you have very little tactile response, but it does make a quiet tick noise when you touch each number, so I am able to tap out numbers using the sound as a cue, so if I go a tad slower than I used to it all works out okay.All told, I am extremely happy with my purchase. My original reason for purchasing this was _actually_ because I have a friend who really needed something with greater visibility (her eyes are failing, and she often types late at night in low light conditions. The size of the letters and the brightness of the backlight (which is adjustable) are ideal. I decided to use the second one for myself :DI recommend this.

Cons:I find on original boot the first keystroke tends not to be registered so I get incorrect password inputs on a regular basis.The LCD keypad is nice, although if you have to do a lot of number inputs frequently I wouldn't recommend this

Saitek Eclipse Lite Touch Wired Keyboard USB
Cons:Glossy surface makes it easily dirty-able and it shows when it's dirtyTouchpad hard to get used to and a bit laggyTouchpad does not allow more than 1 information at a time (if you have a finger on number 1 and you press number 2, it won't recognize that you pressed another key, you literally have to lift up every other finger, or just use one to do it all)Because of the place the touchpad is taking, keys are a bit compacted.Keys have to be pressed directly vertically, you if pressed on while pushing a bit on the side, it won't be as smooth (not handy when you want to press TAB to see your scoreboard in games and you need to see it quickly)The "lock" key should not be placed there, makes it easily pressed instead of the window key. Should have been a secondary function on a key.

Pros:Great "tak tak" mechanical keyboard sound (I just love that in a keyboard)Touches are light, easy to pressBacklit is soft but enoughCustomizable touchpad which becomes handy when you finished booting your computer and don't want to open all your stuff (just press 1-2-3-4-5 and there you go)
Comment:
Overall pretty good for the price (rated 4 starts mainly for that). Would buy again if it's still under 30$, nothing above it. Touchpad makes it look hightech, but totally not needed, conventional numpad would have been just fine.

Comment:
Bought this to move away from my blue LED setup. My 800D is white LEDs as well as most of the inner components. Also the touchpad functions are awesome, once you get used to them and learn how to program it.

Pros:Cheap price when on sale
Comment:
For the price of $15, I love it. It's a very nice keyboard if everything works. I got lucky and all the buttons respond nicely. The touchpad isn't as bad as people make it to be, but it isn't great, hence the 4 stars.

Saitek Eclipse Lite Touch Wired Keyboard USB
Cons:The touch screen is the worst part of this key board admittedly I would pay 20$ for this keyboard without a num pad or touch screen so the touch screen really only serves as an intersting thing to look at because it's really not to useful for anything but volume control

Pros:Keys have nice action to them, they feel pretty responsiveand they are all in the right place.The touch screen is kind of fun
Comment:
This is a good replacement for the 2$ keyboard that comes with retail computers, the keys feel nice and it's back-lit (the back lighing is nothing special) the Lcd touch pad is fine for everything but being a number pad, it really doesn't work well for that because you cant jugde where your fingers are unless your looking at them which in the case that you look at the num pad when you use it then fine this is probalby better for you because the numbers are easy to see when typing on it but if your like me and just use the num pad by touch than this is terrible. I like the keyboard part of this and if they changed the touch screen to a num pad with the same kind of keys I would give this a 5* but for 20$ it's not bad

Keyboard looks very clean and keys work well, lcd display is cool and features are great, software is a bit garbage and if u plan on typing allot of numbers using the number pad i would not recommend this product. 14.99 is an amazing price for it, worth it for and avid pc user.
