Nooo those Deck Keyboards don't like at all, looks like IMO those old gray massive boards just with lights in them o.0
Best backlit keyboard?

Just had a look, those Deck's remind me of the keyboard I had with my 486 system!

I have a g11 
it's awesome as it's not too bright but not too dark either. Nice and subtle so you can see it.

Only real complaint I have is that the esc key is in a slightly different position to what I'm used to. Just take a bit of use to get used to it though I guess.
I haven't got access to my good pc at the moment, so no real decent games to test it on - just using it with my laptop. May report back when I have my hands on the system in my sig again. Very happy for now though and I doubt that'll change. Thanks y'all.

Yeah, gotta admit, the odd placing of that escape key has lead to me pressing F1 or G3 while trying to pause lol.
Had an eclipse 2 for a day, noticed that the middle of the keypad had a triangular dark area, some keys couldnt be seen clearly in a dark room, and on purple backlight the right hand number pad was showing blue. I returned it to ********** but they claimed it was "as spec" so I rejected it and had a refund. Went elsewhere and got a G15 which is performing nicely. In all fairness I did put in a call to Saitek support and they were going to intevene but having met the blank wall of indifference from Scan I decided to withdraw my custom - I wont use them again. I really have no interest in waiting around while manufacturers and sellers argue amongst themselves about the performace of a product. Even the saitek guy said it sounded like a couple of LEDs had suffered a partial fail. I dont seem to be having much luck lately!
