Gamers Keyboard
Hey guys. I am upgrading my keyboard to get one that allows lots of buttons to be pressed at the same time.
I was thinking about getting the Saitek Eclipse http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16823175103 Then I saw the Saitek Eclipse II http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16823175001 Then I saw the Saitek Gamer's Keybaord http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16823175101 Which one is the best? I'm looking for a keyboard that allows lots of buttons to be pressed at the same time. I was going to get the Steelpad Keyboard that allows 8 buttons to be pressed simoutaniously but it's too expensive. Are all the Saitek keyboards the same? NEED TO PRESS LOTS OF KEYS AT THE SAME TIME! Thanks in advance.

I would either get the saitek eclipse 2 or this one
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16823126179 the logitech G15 either one would be great for gaming and for what you want to do. |

Hey ckfordy. Thanks for the reply. I was planning on getting the G15 but the screen at the top annoys me and it's a little expensive.
Does anyone know what the difference is between the Saitek keyboards? (Eclipse, Eclipse II, Gamer's)

I really dont think there is any difference between them other then the eclipse II is newer then the rest. And the G15's screen why does it annoy you? I have it and it is great for gaming and i can keep track of how much ram is being used and everything and it is worth the price. Other wise either one of those keyboards are just fine. |

Lol. Well I guess I'm just not used to having a screen on my keyboard. Used regular everyday typing keyboards my whole life and switching to a gaming one with a screen and stuff, just kind of weird. Anyways, I have a $25 giftcard for best buy. But I checked their website and it only shows that they have an Eclipse. Not the Eclipse 2 or Gamer's Keyboard. Is a Saitek Eclipse fine for gaming?
Just want to be sure before buying it.

if you want a gaming keyboard i would suggest geting one that does not have winodws keys on it. try some thing like this http://www.newegg.com/Product/CustRa...82E16823146002 it is usb so you can plug it in when you need it. i have not used it but it looks like the layout my work for some games.

Alot of people complain that is doesn't recognise keysets when switching between them, but I have never had that. Plus, you can use this thing straight out of the box. You don't need to driver at all, however, there are extra features you can get if you install it.
