I note that the colour will remain as set even after turning the PC off. That is the thing which winds me up about my Eclispe - having to change from blue to red every time!

Looks cool but I love my g15

Ugly as hell! I prefer the Saitek Eclipse 1

Small Enter button means a fail for me also.

I'll stick with my Saitek I

Pic looks like US version to me, UK version will more than likely have full height enter key.

Looks nice but I too still love my logitech G15 revision 1

wonder when logitech will make a new gaming keyboard hopefully with as much G macro buttons as the 1st revision G15

The Saitek I might as well have no backlight on it though as you can't see the keys in the dark.

Thats definitely american version as there is only two keys between L and Enter (americans put @ on #2 for some reason)

As said already UK version will probably have big enter key

Looks good, Im tempted to look into these as typing in the dark doesnt always work

hmmm
not convinced

it looks ok - would like to see one in my hands

doubt i would lose the g11 for it though

Very nice looking keyboard, i havent really had my Eclipse II for that long (about 18 months) so think i will wait a little while (depending on when it is actually released)

just found this thread.

I have secured the deal so OcUK are getting ALL the UK stock when it is released. The release date is the start of December
