looks like there's a number of Saitek Eclipse II users here i always wanted to get one, maybe in next few months..
but then a friend of mine told me the keys are a bit smaller.. i'm afraid it wont be comfortable enough for my big hands n fingers
so, Saitek Eclipse II users out there, can do me a favor by measuring a,b and c from this pic?



if not eclipse II, dunno what keyboard suites me best

yah, almost same size as my old logitech keyboard thanks bro!
1 month to go, saitek eclipse II, here i come!

since it's a gaming keyboard thread, i'd like to know either saitek eclipse II, and logitech G11/G15 can press multiple keys at a time? especially for games like O2Jam, CS, NFS etc.. kinda worried if spending RM200++ for a keyboard that can't even press more than 4,5 keys at a time.. especially for 02jam, where you need 7 keys simultaneously... any eclipseII, g15 comments pls?

sounds fair enough.. my normal gaming also consists of these amounts of keys
don't really play O2 btw... just took it for example.. cause my old ps2 logitech keyboard can press up to 7 keys.. and if comparing with a gaming keyboard that can't even press 4,5 keys simultaneously would be much disappointing

wonder if there's any eclipse II user would give any comments on their keyboards

btw, i just found this..

currently using my friend's pc, with his razer "white tarantula" (pro|type ), also got problem with this combo.. cannot up+left+space..
but if change space with shift, then problem settles
what I realized with this keyboard, the numpad keys cannot press more than 3 simultaneously, and the numbers letters only 6 keys.
for arrows, only 2 keys.
i heard people once said tarantula can press up to 10 keys , and i thought pro|type and tarantula uses same anti-ghosting thingie..

since most gaming keyboard can only use 6 keys at a time, I guess that's considered quite normal then
btw, do you have this paint coming of problem? i see most people seem to face this problem after few months of purchase

yah, i think so.. my old logitech ps/2 can press 7

i think the paint coming of problem is cos of how the user use the keyboard
pressing it with your nails, no doubt it'll come off..

hurm.. then sweating+low quality paint job also causes the paint to come off
btw, how long have you been using that keyboard sniper?

3 months ar.. seems like it fades bit by bit every month huh?
why didn't you mod ur g15, like ianho
