Keyboard?

Saitek Eclipse 2

Well i was looking at the Saitek Eclipse 2 but im not sure if you can press multiple keys and keep them held down. Now seeing as im a arrow user while gaming, this can become a problem as a lot of keyboards nowadays seem to have that problem.

Can anyone confirm, if they do use the Saitek Eclipse 2 that it's arrow friendly in games?

Also any others to look at? I'd be interested in the g11/g15 but don't need all them extra buttons. Looking to spend £50 max.

I use the Saitek Eclipse I, and i have zero problems with it and i game a lot (CSS and BF2 mainly). Saitek has just improved on the design with Eclipse II, so it should be just as good as the first one. I've read good reviews about it too.

Imo, G15 is a waste of money and G11 is basically the same thing but with the screen removed. Better off spending it on the Saitek Eclipse I/II.

Hope that helps!

Yeah but do you game with the arrows keys? With the older one, people couldn't game properly with them due to the fact multiple keys couldn't be pressed/held and i was wondering if it was fixed on this new one.

Here's the thread for the older eclipse. http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=17710597&highlight=Saitek+Eclipse

stoofa states it's been fixed, but that's the only achknowledgement i know off, google didn't bring up any answers either.

i have the saitek gaming keyboard, i used to game with the arrow keys and i never had a problem

I heard it was when holding/pressing multiple keys at once. That's reassuring though, considering i've seen quite a few problems with it on google.
