Elli, well basically depends on wat games u play too. Like i play RTS rite, i go for a keyboard with macros. Like mine ( add me to the list too) uses Razer Tarantula. Compact till its small and makes your hand in a condition where it is easier to reach the keys. You can even change keys which makes me easier to micro like puttin my alt button as ctl and my P key as a macro beside it. Super cool. sensitive too and anti ghost( 1o keys simultenously). Thats my review. Chillz

I'm not a heavy gamer, but i would like to buy a keyboard with LED lights on it.
which one is better? Microsoft Razor Reclusa or Saitek Eclipse?

Well LED is basically for night gaming. Tats sure but keyboard is based on what types of game you play man. You have to see which is more comfortable and what type of keyboard it is. Like my tarantula, is meant for me to play RTS as it is small by key size...K

Anybody tried A4 Tech's (China based company) keyboard their X7 gaming line which is the G500/G600 model.

Acoording to them its waterproof (Completely selead with Waterproof glue).  sweat.gif  Checked around LYP which is priced around 80+.

Budget brand if you ask me, anyone who is looking for "cheap" gaming keyboards.  laugh.gif

tarantula macros easy to reach? you must be kidding...or you are playing your games with both the hands on the keyboard, instead of one on the mouse. the tarantula has 2 sides of macros consisting 5 keys per side. the right side one, you left hand need to travel whole keyboard distance to reach the other 5 macros on the right. and it doesn't sounds easy to me, while playing games with one hand on keyboard, another on the mouse.

the fact is, the G15 has 18 macro keys times 3 profiles. meaning it gives you 54 macros combo on the left of your keyboard. and that is much much easier to reach.  whistling.gif
My summary after considering the 3 (before i get my G15):
- Saitek Eclipse II for the price (cheaper among the 3) and lights color changing (you need that?). Plain good ol' keyboard with lightnings.

- G15 for the functions and LCD and whachamacallit...bang for the buck. the cons: HUGE!

- Tarantula for the Razer gimmicks and more gimmicks. hyper response not required on keyboard plus the antighosting, some tests show that it only supports 8 keys. good design (apart from macro on the right), but not value for money.

Correct 5 left, 5 right But you still can be using the left half of your keyboard rite? So my 5 keys are for those 5 which my hands are unable to reach after my max capacity. Like my macro L5 is P for my war3 human peasant....L4 as O to learn skil for hero....And value for money....hmmm....its an ok ok keyboard. But for me its not a problem...as G15 is not my type.. icon_rolleyes.gif

About maybe as much or a little more expensive than the steelkeys for that keyboard. But the design doesn't look like a gaming keyboard. And i think the reclusa is either 1.1 or 2.0 USB port can take it
