Just pick it up at Amazon for $6 more shipped. It really wasn't that great of a deal :\

well, if you're rolling around in dough then good for you 🙂

$6 savings on a <$50 item is a good deal for me. if we were talking $6 on a $500 purchase then i wouldn't be considering it a great deal either. but either way, that's $6 in my pocket, not theirs.

Indeed $6 on a $50 item is a good deal!

Is it $6 cheaper? Yes. Is it available on Woot now? No. 🙂 $6 isn't that much when it's not even in stock at the place with a slightly lower price, sheesh people!

Wow, I didn't even know there was a 2nd edition... Loved the first though!

Dammit! I had the last version and just broke one of the stands. This was a great price. My experience is with the original eclipse and it was plenty bright. Key action was great. The only shortcoming with the original was that the keys were clear and then painted black so the illumination would come through the letters, which were in relief. Over time, especially if your a gamer, the paint starts to rub off on highly used keys. I'm hoping they resolved this issue with the Eclipse II.

I had the original and the illumination DID NOT come through the letters.

Then you had the gaming keyboard which I also had. That one didn't have lighting through the keys, just a backlit keyboard. I had that one also. That wasn't the Eclipse.
