they don't. 30 dollar one is copy of upc.

bought one, dammit... i didn't even need a new keyboard. oh well.

For anyone wondering, there's tax for CA residents. Tax was $4.95 for me.

Still a great deal though. Thanks OP.

Thx OP. Only got one cuz that's all they'd sell w/rebate per person.

Do these have painted on keys? Usually these are listed as just Saitek Eclipse.. without the TrueVu. I'm guessing it's all the same but I want one without painted on keys.

I keep hearing about this keyboard and was wondering what is so great about it, what can a person tell the difference by. I have a logitech i got with a combo (mouse has the mx1000 engine but looks different). The keyboard seems great, I never notice it's loud, I've never had to look down at night to see a key so the backlighting doesn't really help to me, and best of all, it's wireless! This isn't even wireless, why doesn't saitek make one of these wireless? The deal seems great, but that is a lot of work and rebates... just wondering what was so great about it. Thx.

Also, does OP mean original poster?

It appeals to us gamers... Backlit LED keys, and quiet (???)... People just like how it is??? lol... You can always look at the 422 reviewers of it here. Deailing with 2 rebates isn't really bad... If it was 3 or more, then sure it would be.

dongle! I only have a PO Box, wonder if I can get the rebates sent to my work??

Got my keyboard this morning. Does anyone have a loose space bar? Like it seems to wiggle around a little bit with just a slight touch. It's the only loud key on the keyboard.

I love mine, the only problem is the paint is fading off of some of my keys. The ones so far are the alt key, the ctrl key and the spacebar. Undernearth the paint is just clear so all you see is the blue light.

I've always thought the spacebar was a little loud on it. But that tends to hold true for a lot of keyboards - it's a big key.

WTF?

Mine arrives tomorrow

 

[franke3c]

yea got my keyboard to day too, the spacebar seemed to be a bit loose and noisy. I added some more grease, and it seems fine now. I think it wasn't seated in correctly. But it's still a little noisy..

The spacebar is usually the noisiest and wobbliest on any keyboard. I noticed that almost a decade ago with the original Microsoft Ergonomic keyboard. The two keyboards I have in my room right now are like that, a Monorail (made by NMB) and a Silicon Graphics.

 

[shelaby]

ordered mine on the 3rd, shipped out that night, just got it today. Sweet keyboard, nice and quiet, and awesome free shipping that only took 2 days . im happy

SGI at least on the older graphics workstations I used to play on were nicccce! I loved the feel of the keys.

Got mine the other day as well. Space bar was a bit loose. Also - when I opened the box it had a screw laying in the bottom. Turned the keyboard over, saw where it fell out of. Tried to put the screw back in....but it wouldn't screw down. The one next to it was loose also.
