I picked up another Saitek Eclipse at CompUSA for $20 last week (after rebate).

Been using a Saitek Eclipse for a year & a half, like the key responsiveness. Helpful to a non-skilled typist like me.

Only real difference between Eclipse 1 & 2, as far as I can tell, is that the new #2 at a $40 higher price gets you two more colored lightbulbs behind the keys. Seems silly to me.

The #1's blue light with 2 brightness settings and "off" setting are fine for me. And only $20!
