Logitech G15 or the Saitek Eclipse?

[infiltrator7]

I'm planning on getting the g7 mouse by logitech, and i'm looking for a new keyboard. I currently have a logitech keyboard, and like it a lot, but i'm interested in backlighting. I've heard great reviews about both keyboards, but i wann know from you guys which is best. I'm concerned about these things:

1.) Backlighting - i want it to be bright and clear
2.) Keyboard Feel- I want it to be quiet, not hard to press and a nice feel to it.

I've heard that the G15 is somewhat large, how big is it? Thanks in advance.

Saitek is a awsome keyboard. It has a light adjuster and it has a really nice feel to it

This is how I look at it;
The Logitech G15 has more features. Not only a good amount programable keys, but a flip-up LCD-Screen that can display a lot of things - Computer stats, game stats, etc. It is backlit and is said to have a nice keystroke feel.
On the other hand, the Saitek has better quality. It doesn't have the LCD-Screen and isn't as big as the G15, but the backlit capability has different backlit adjustments, and is said to be one of the smoothest feeling keyboards out.

so the saitek has a better feel to it than the logitech?

I don't really know for sure as I haven't personally used either of them. But from what I've read, yes.
I'm pretty sure a third of the members on this forum use the Saitek Eclipse keyboard, including Pzerofgh, so you could ask them about how they like it personally.

My friend has a G15 and so far it's pretty awsome. The backlight keys are nice and one thing that I like about it is that you can control with the buttons and LCD what songs are playing in Jukebox which is nice if you listen to music. I never had any experience with the saitek keyboard but the G15 is a nice keyboard.

SAITEK ECLIPSE!!!!!!!!!

seen great reviews, PZERFORGH and 003 have them and they say its a very Solid, smooth, sleek, good feeling keyboard, plus the adjustable backlit lights. it also looks more for gaming than a G15, the G15 has a more Modern army feel to it, not really a turn on.

I almost got a saitek keyboard yesterday, but got a G-15 instead. the G-15 has more features.

personally I find that the LCD screen is actually useful, not just a "neat extra" - although it is probabbly one of its biggest selling points.

the G-15 is quite wide. the reason it is, is the extra buttons on the left
if you count the Saitek's extra button pad, I think the G-15 is only a bit wider. but you can move the Saitek's pad somewhere else if it doesn't fit.

personally I'm very happy with my G-15.
coupled with my G5 mouse, it's just... great.
