Mine should arrive sometime through the week but just thought I would get peoples input on how it is for them for gaming and stuff. So if you have one can you tell me your experiances with it were like?
 
you've already paid for it. bit late to ask advice, you'll find out in 4 days if it was worth it.
 
yup had mine for a few months now ;P nice keyboard everything works no drivers supplied ;P u will need to download them from saitek website.. :P so u can addjust you volume... :)
 
I have it and am disappointed. Build quality is poor. I bought a tarantula to replace it. Build quality of the tarantula is far superior.
 
erm tenzen what are you talking about?> quality is good.. there was a review one member did on ocuk.. ill see if i can find it :)

i have to agree, i had one, didnt like it, it just seems tacky in comparison to the eclipse 2 which i have stuck with for the moment
 
The touch sensitive controls along the top can be a bit hit or miss after a month or so, I'd agree the build quality isn't the best in that specific area. I do like the rest of it though, nice solid keyboard. The shortcut keys on the sides are pretty handy once you get used to using them. Although I generally only use 4 out of the 12 :) new tab, refresh page, my computer and open media player.
 
I will probably use some remapping program like control mk or whatever its called. For the unused hotkeys on the sides. The top thing with it being touch control is rather cool. Duno if its any good but it doesnt look like it will be used much so no biggie.
 
its a really nice keyboard i loved my saitek 2 before the space bar broke. Got the Saitek 3 and its really good. Only problem i do have is the rubber but on the hand rest thing has started to peel away. Other than that its really nice, love the new colours :D
 
I have one and it's way better looking than the photo on the shop site makes out.

No problems with multi-key presses here and good to game/type on.

Very satisfied. :)
 
It has arrived. :)

The keys seem a bit strange to touch type but ill get used to it.

The brightness isnt as bright as i thought it would be but its very nice regardless. The top touch screen thing is cool i installed the drivers as i wanted to be sure it was upto date. It works a dream its very easy and its just so damn cool. The keyboard is much wider than i had originally thought. But i dont care i have a large desk. It is a dream of a keyboard and im already touchtyping at the mo writing this so im used to it already hehe.

Cant wait for tonite when its dark.

The keys themselves are smaller than my Turbomedia keyboard i used to have. The pressure is rather nice to have and it is a lot quiter than the turbomedia. The keys themselves are like got this rubber texture or somit on them and makes them feel nice to touch. The wrist rest is a bit small for me as i have to move the keyboard and rest to edge of desk to use the rest otherwise my wrists rest on the desk.

It is very heavy which usually means its built well.

I just love it. It is so stylish and cool. I am so glad i didnt get the Eclipse 2 or the logitech G11 as imo the logitechs look crap in pics.

Snowy hehe i reckon my boards better mwhahaha. Upped u on that i reckon. :)
