Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought this keyboard despite some of the less than enthusiastic reviews I had read, and I couldn't be happier with it.I have no idea what those other reviewers are complaining about.The keyboard is nice and heavy with a detachable wrist rest, and of course the ever popular blue, backlit keys.The board is very stylish, but more importantly, it works flawlessly.Despite what you may have read in another review, the board DOES allow you to use the delete key to access the bios menu at boot up. It is no different than any other keyboard in that respect.It is also completely compatible with Windows XP SP2.Someone else mentioned that you couldn't use the separate command pad and the main keyboard at the same time.I don't know what their problem is, I use both the keyboard and command pad at the same time wihtout the slightest problem.The combination makes this the ideal keyboard for playing games such as first person shooters, as you can programme the keypad with up to 27 commands (9 buttons with three shift modes).Programming using the Saitek software is practically a no brainer (despite what others might have you believe) you simply open the profiler, click on the key you want to assign a function to, and then click on the key on the keyboard which corresponds to that function.It's no different that any other key mapping system.The one drawback is that, as mentioned elsewhere, there is no LED or any other indicator to show what shift mode you are in.It would have been useful had Saitek put the same blue LEDs around the shift mode keys and made it so that they would light up when that shift mode is selected.To me that is not a big enough of a problem to deduct a star for.I used a Logitech Elite keyboard prior to this, and the Saitek is far superior; if for no other reason than that with the Logitech you have to take an extra step to push a button to turn the I touch function on or off, and you have to push yet another button to lock or unlock the function keys.It was a real pain to be using a propgramme that made use of the function keys, and go to use the function buttons only to find that you forgot to unlock them first.No such problem with the Saitek.If you need special functions, you simply assign them to the command pad; so you have your special functions and your regular function keys work as they always have as well.All in all, the Saitek Gamer's Keyboard is a good, solid, fully functional keyboard that looks every bit as good as it works.
