![[image loading]](http://www.mytechnology.eu/foto/hardware/saitek_eclipse_4.jpg) What's sweet about it is how easy the keys are to press,yet they are still plastic,not that gummy rubber such as on the lycosa which I found just annoying if I had to move my fingers really fast from one key to another because there was too much friction with the rubber (I don't own a lycosa, I just tested one out at a store). Another cool thing about the Eclipse 2 is the ability to adjust the height with the pull out mini-legs on the back. There isn't just one leg that can be pulled out, but two different legs allowing for the most comfortable height. Also the look of it is just sweet, especially the back lights. There are three different colors for the back lights: red, blue, and purple. Whenever I play Terran, I put it to blue, red for Zerg, and purple for Protoss, which is just kinda nifty. However, it's not perfect. Sometimes, let's say in a game, I press 1a2a3a4a with protoss, sometimes it will not catch that I pressed 2, so it will be stuck on one. I look back at my army only to find half of it sitting back, while the other half is attacking. I realized that I was just pressing 1a2a3a4a too fast, and the keyboard wasn't picking it up, so that could definitely be fixed. Also it's a little bit long, a bit shorter would be nicer because having the keys closer for macro cycles would be a bit of a help. Also, I didn't find the wrist-rest add-on very comfortable, it was just plastic and I don't use it (it is not included in the picture). Overall, it's just a cool keyboard ^^ | ||

EDIT: i also think it's great that u're being completely open with what u're doing here and that this is not a free give-away but rather an opportunity for razer to get some ideas. since theyre the sponsors of TSL i have no problem supporting this company. | ||

my least favorite headphones were phillips inear buds that look just like the ones on the op post (phillips 5920) and almost made me deaf because they gave me an heavy ear infection. it took me 6 months to get rid of the infection and i still suffer from the consequences. the favorite would be logitech mx510, the mouse that works for 6 years now, has a shape that fits a large hand perfectly, solid buttons, a nice design, 0 installing or usage issues and feels great on all surfaces. | ||

Well the keys are just plastic basically, maybe you are referring to the coating of the letters? If so, they are ingrained into the plastic. I am not sure what coating you are talking about. Nothing comes off the keys, they are in pretty well in just as good shape as I originally got them. Btw also forgot to mention that the surface of the keys themselves aren't perfectly smooth, they are just ever so slightly bumpy allowing for just enough friction. | ||

I'm currently using a Razer Diamondback 3G. I like it, but don't love it. I've been thinking about trying out the DeathAdder, but it's just simply not in my budget right now. | ||

I use them mostly with my xbox 360, but they work just as well with computers so I'm including it. The sound quality is great, I really do hear things that I had never heard before with just a basic 2.1 speaker setup. It even has an external mic-out that you can hook directly to your xbox controller. I play mostly Halo 3, and I can make callouts on where the other team is just because I can hear them so well. A BR through any other audio output just doesn't quite compare. A bit pricey tho; more frugal Halo players tend to buy Sennheisers. My first thoughts when I first set them up: ![[image loading]](http://icanhascheezburger.files.wordpress.com/2007/12/funny-pictures-cat-headphones-god.jpg) | ||

Ode to a Microsoft Keyboard. Oh Microsoft internet keyboard. You were the center of my starcraft universe Bold, fat and plastic, with keys that would only ever irritate; Like that sleep button i pressed while playing on abyss, What the fuck was that about? Who designed that piece of shit, making me dead my computer whilst in tense one on one action. And yet i nurtured you. Ofcourse, in sadistic fashion i shaped you after my own motives Carving your surface with knife Throwing keys away so that i may play better. So many fond memories are tied to what you let me have The friends i met and typed to, You, and you alone were the messenger. You would always remind me of the past My rat would crawl about on you, shedding hair into your depths and even urinating Yet i still loved you like i loved that rat. And the hair that i would clean out of my microsoft keyboard Years after that rat had died, would bring me another reminder that he was alive. Now the keyboard sits under my desk, replaced by shiny new plastic keyboarding experiences. But the fun i had painting, defacing and modifying you Will always be buried in my mind Like that poor rat i had to bury in the yard. ![[image loading]](http://i42.tinypic.com/2djwkeq.jpg) | ||

It is a joy to play, no less because of the fact that every time I caress its hard, yet soft back; I know my hand is closer to fakesteve than roughly 3 billion women have ever been. Unfortunately my cam is bust or I would post pics, my cam is in for repairs and will be ready oh um around 12:00AM GST March 2nd 2009 | ||

People call me mad, Some really question my sanity when i set up my gear at a Lan. But throughout all my years, i've used the same mouse and Keyboard. The original dell factory Model (The stickers and brand have long since worn off, and the matching Ball mouse. I don't care that i have to clean it out every 3 days. To me it's a bonding experience. On any other keyboard my fingers find their way in-between the cracks and grossly overshoot the hotkeys. These peripherals are my life and soul of gaming. And thus my faviourites. Scroll lock doesn't work, neither does print screen, but deep down it's all worth it even if i can't see 4,7 or 9 clearly. Everytime i fold out the sticktaped supports the feeling of nostalgia is overwhelming. | ||

 If I had to pick one piece of gaming peripheral is the G5 Logitech mouse. It's a mouse which perfectly fits directly into my the palm of my hand and comes with weights to help adjust the speed of the mouse. It also has 3 DPI features, which I have mine always set to 800 dpi. When I play games such as Counter Strike 1.6, Warcraft III, Quake Live, and Starcraft I will never place blame on the G5. It's movements are as precise, clean, and beautiful. It is my sword when owning noobs. I've had my G5 for about 3 years and can't use another computer mouse at all. Everything that belongs to me thats computer related is Dell, or a brand that no one knows about. With the logitech I feel like I'm in a eSports fan club. This is why the G5 is my favorite gaming peripheral. | ||
