    Same, have the first version of this and still holding up well to date.

    The version I got also came with a detachable keypad for assigning macro's. Not sure if this one does as well, but probably the only thing that I was not fond of was that keypad. Running and assigning macros using the macro software delivered wonky results.

    I like this keyboard. Switching colors is a nice feature. I got it for about $35 a few months ago when it was on sale at newgg. Of course it sold out around noon and I barely got my order in. A few more media keys wouldn't hurt, but overall I'm very satisfied. I wouldn't say this is a great deal, but its a decent deal if you want a good keyboard now.

    Love these Saiteks! I went from my $100+ MS ones down to one of these since I do a lot of gaming in low light and I won't look back. I agree a few media keys would be nice, but the simplicity and feel of the keyboard is nice and even my wife likes it more, go figure.

    I have this gaming keyboard and I like it. It feels and looks nice. The backlighting makes it easier to see the keys in the dark. I don't use the palm rest but some people might like it. It defaults back to the blue color everytime you boot up your PC. I use the blue so it doesn't bother me but some people might be annoyed by this. The blue matches the antec 900 and Razer deathadder nicely.

    I don't have this, and I think it looks dumb.

    I'm currently using the Eclipse I keyboard... I always turn off the illumination feature since it's pretty much useless.

    Do the letters rub off the keys on this one?
