Saitek Eclipse II VS G15 v2 ??
Which one to go for guys? I think they both look great. My brother has the G15 and it feels nice but the macros buttons never get used and i wouldn't use them. The lcd is a nice touch though and is usful for flicking through itunes.
But I don't think an extra £20 for the lcd is money well spent.
Has anyone any experience with these keyboards?? I want a keyboard with a really positive key stroke, and not spongy/squishy like my £2.54 labtec atm.
Any views on the two?

If you can wait till tomorrow- i have a G15 on its way  I'll let you know how I find it, I think the G15 has better backlighting, with less bleed between keys, it was that which swayed me in the end- I had been intent on a blue backlight but I got a G9 the other day, and the orange colour actually looks real nice!
Then I realised today that I'd actually spend £95 on just my desktop lol and I felt a little stupid...

i have had the G15 mk1
and i currently have the Saitek eclipse mk 1 ...
the latter is the better of the two for quality of typing, the former is better for features...

Great, thats all i need to know. I do the the G15 is too much for what it is.
If the saitek feels nice and solid its the keyboard for me.

I HATE the spacebar on the saitek it needs quite a whack to work, crap design. I only ever had MS ones before that and never had issues... Next keyboard is going to be awesomely expensive to avoid any quality issues...
Oh, other than the spacebar thing it is a nice solid kb...

being quite large in the finger department I much prefer the G15 but I do prefer the Mk1 over the Mk2
Can't use the Saitek keep hitting wrong keys with my sausage fingers and the Lycosa sucks even worse
