You want the Saitek Eclipse II - Its much better

I think the original eclipse looks better... either way they're both good keyboards.

why do you consider this a gaming keyboard?

i have a Saitek Executive that I really like, but there's nothing really "gaming" about it.

One of my friends has the Saitek Eclipse II, and another has the Logitech G15.
The Saitek is essentially a normal keyboard with lights, while the G15 has the prorammable buttons and the nifty little LCD screen that can run certain programs.
My friend with the G15 runs a program in his G15 that helps him maximize party DPS in EQ2.
I too am looking at keyboards for a gaming computer, so any suggestions would eb nice. Smaller is good for mine, and a numpad is not strictly necessary.
I do NOT want anything resembling laptop style keys. Something with better tactile feedback is a must.

Just buy a cheap $10 keyboard. Any keyboard will do the job, but I honestly swear by clicky keyboards due to the feedback that you get from it.
