Color is a powerful factor in our moods, and that makes it a powerful factor in our productivity. Being able to change this keyboard to a color that either fits or redirects my current mood makes it well worth the higher price tag. I purchased this for its back lighting, but I find I have even more reasons to enjoy it, including the extra shortcut buttons that line each edge. The browser shortcuts on the left side include forward and back buttons as well as refresh. The computer buttons on the right side include "my computer" and a one touch button to my on screen calculator which I use quite often. I still have more to read to find out if these buttons are programmable, but as it stands right now, this is by far the most enjoyable keyboard I've owned yet. I did rate ease of use at 4 rather than 5 stars simply because the buttons are a little harder to push, though that may just be about getting used to them as compared to my old keyboard.

I am enjoying this keyboard with it`s nice buttons and back light which you get to choose the color and it`s level of brightness. the side short-cut keys are also a nice touch. but because of it the keyboard is kinda wide. I constantly hitting the side accidentally with my mouse when am playing games.

There are many well written reviews about this keyboard so I won't repeat what you have previously read. I had the Saitek II keyboard and loved it. Once you have an illuminated keyboard there is no going back. I'll be the first one to admit that I am hard on a keyboard. Spilled drinks, cigarette ashes,(I quit) food crumbs etc. The Saitek took all of this abuse but after 4 years of heavy use the space-bar key broke. There was no fixing it. Having had a good buying experience I ordered the Saitek III. This keyboard is very impressive looking with many bells & whistles that you may not need. It does take up a lot of real estate on your desk top so make sure you have the room. It's about 6 inches longer than the compact Saitek II so if space is an issue you may not want this. Most desk tops should accomadate this without a problem. The most noticeable difference is the "Feel" of the keyboard. The Saitek II keys feel hard with short strokes. The Saitek III keys feel much softer allowing faster typing speeds. Your fingers float over the keys as opposed to banging them. Bottom Line: This is one impressive keyboard that I highly recommend. You will not be disappointed.

Pros: The LEDs are very bright and easy to see and the dispersal of light is very even despite what some reviews I read said. The color options are nice, but I really only use the red and blue and the magenta and pink are almost the same color so it's really more like 4 colors. The shortcut tabs are turning out to be more useful than I thought they would be. It's nice having the ports in the top right of the board because my speaker cord is very short, as is the cord for my stereophones. Volume control is really nice when using headphones, but make sure you download the drivers so the level bar changes or it's useless.
Cons: The palm rest is nearly useless, it's only like an inch long and my palm doesnt even really rest on it while gaming. The only reason I've kept it on is for aesthetics. The plastic coating on the volume control has started to bubble up after only a month.
Other Comments: Over all I've been really pleased with this keyboard. I love having it lit up and it matches all the LEDs in my computer case. The palm rest is oh so useless. They tried to match the sleek design wth the rest of the board, which I can respect, but it's so small it does nothing. I also would have preferred buttons for the LED control and volume, but that's more of a personal taste as I hate touch interfaces (lazy design in my opinion). It's not a big deal, but the buttons are a little flat and that may bother some people, but it's fine for me. One last thing to note is that there are 2 adjustments for height. One give the board like 2 degrees tilt and the other adds 2-3 more degrees to that. So it doesn't really tilt up much more than flat, matching the ergonomics of the palm rest -_- If you want a LED lit board this one is a very good buy, though more for gamers.

This is a well built product and I have no complaints about it. I have already recommended it to a friend.
My usage is really basic. I wanted a keyboard that I could use at night without turning on the room lights and this works very well. Not a gamer, so I can't comment on that usage. The keys have a nice feel to them. The keyboard has three colors that are easy to adjust in intensity. It has some keys on each side that control some basic browser functions, along with opening some apps. Some of that is nice, but does make the keyboard wider. My desk is big enough for this not to be an issue with me, but I do need to stay aware of these keys to avoid opening an app. Also, as others have noted, this version III keeps the color selection on reboot.
