I went for the Gamers edition one (next one down from yours), but think I'll go for the Eclipse next, since the light shining through the laser-etched letters on the keyboard is perfect for night-typing (although I can 99% touch-type anyway, so more a case of looking good in pitch-black ).

Very good keyboards, very comfortable to use...

Was tempted by the ZBoard with Battlefield2 setup, but decided on this one instead, due to the price...

My command-pad's still in the box, not used it once yet......then again, mouse in one hand and the other hand on the movement-keys, I'd need another hand to use it properly.

I spend a lot of time writing my articles late at night and the rattling away of my Microsoft keyboard annoys Nicole and the girls..

Am using it now, so can confirm it's nice and quiet!

There's also this one, which isn't in stock at Scan at the mo, but has the TruVu (the backlight shines through the laser-etched letters/numbers on the keys). Would imagine, with being almost identical, that it's a silent-touch aswell...
