    Saitek Eclipse Vs Logitech G15

    Im getting rid of the old dell keyboard that i made the mistake in buying last year becuase i thought it would be good for gaming and i was wrong.

    Ive looked at a few keyboards and ive narrowed it down to the above two keyboards.

    The main factor i was considering on this was that i wanted it mainly for gaming. I like the look of both of these keyboards, but the LCD on the Logitech looks pretty amazing.

    One thing though, would this LCD and the G keys work with Windows XP 64? Do logitech have drivers available for this yet?

    I was just wondering if anyone had any of the above two and what their experiences are?

    Thanks

    Logi are pretty good with X64 drivers so at a guess i'd say yes they do have them.
    If you're a HARDCORE gamer I reckon the G15 is the best choice really, as the Eclipse (what I have) is raelly nice to use but doesn't offer any features focused solely on gaming.

    Also depends on your desk, the G15 takes up a lot of space whereas the eclipse is not so bad.

    Apparently a few inches more than a standard full size if that's any help
    Just looks like a beast really.
    Unless you're a MMORPG nut and use loads of binds i'd go for the eclipse - to make it even sweeter it's on Scan Today Only for £28.16 odd with free shipping!

    I think that the G15 may have just got it, but i need to find out for definite if it supports windows 64bit or not.
