i'm just looking for a basic backlit keyboard with good "clicky" keys. right now, the only two real contenders are the creative fatality and the saitek eclipse, but i don't know anything about the key feel for either one. anybody know of any others (preferably less than $60) or have a recommendation between those two?

I have a Saitek Eclipse. The keys feel nice to me. I don't know what you mean by "clicky," they aren't really loud, but they aren't "squishy" like some keyboards are.

i also stand by my G15, it isn't basic, but it can do everything a basic one does...... and so much more.

the day i buy something that isn't basic and yet still can't do what the basic one can...i'll feel ripped off.

i replaced Golovko's Saitek with a G15.

definitely go with G15

i have an Saitek Eclipse II and i love it, fantastic key pressure, great looks, only downside is that the light shines through the cracks more than the letters/numbers so while it helps, it's not perfect

basically, that they don't feel like a notebook keyboard

the g15 is a little over-the-top and rather expensive, if i were going to get a logitech i think i would get the g11--which, as i understand it, is the same thing but w/o the LCD and $20 cheaper. i don't like logitech mice though, so i'm kinda iffy about getting their keyboards
