They've already had some & are waiting on more...
Saitek appear to be struggling to keep up with demand.

yes, the woman at the stand said they made one model and sold out within the 1st week, they had 2 models i think the difference was the light colour behind the keys and that the other one which is a prototype the light shone through the keys, cant quite remember as i jus wanted to get to the bar

Gamers & Eclipse (no command pad & the light shines through the keys rather than around)

The Gamers seems to go for ~£35 & my understanding is that the Eclipse will be the same when a UK version arrives (it's already on sale in the US).
As for what I think of them I'm still waiting on mine from Kustom (Graeme? :rolleyes: ) but general opinion seems to be that they are very good to type on.

lol...

I certainly need a new keyboard, although its not perfect i do like... and that handy keypad makes the idea of getting the set more attractive... I wouldn't mind seeing kustompcs stock them, i'd look to get one!!

And im sure im not the only one... ^

:D

I do like the eclipse, but would have preferred it in red, i did hear that they are doing a orange and red model somewhere, but maybe it's just rumours

The Gamers Keyboard is £35, and I expect the Eclipse will be around the same price - possibly slightly more (£40) due to the illuminated keys?
