the Saitek eclipse ii be a wonderful keyboard in use both day and night . of course , one get it for it be light capability and in this case it excel quite nicely ! I have no idea what some of the earlier review be talk about when they say it be not bright enough ... be you kid I ??? how bright do you need it ? Red and Purple be more than adequate and blue be slightly lower in brightness quality ; however not enough to diminish it be effectiveness . very quick and springy keyboard touch ; have increase my wpm dramatically ! I like it be simplicity and I be quite glad it be not clutter up with the unnecessary key and shortcut tab of other keyboard . only minor annoyance be that the key be slightly smaller and closer together than a standard keyboard , but I get use it it right away ... quite frankly , I do not think you can go wrong with this keyboard and would get it again .
