This Keyboard is of solid construction (but not to heavy). I purchased it for my girlfriend as the pink LED (box says purple) light makes her happy. I also own a Logitech G-15 gaming keyboard. I like my board better because blue LED is good for me (though the red on the saitek is VERY cool), but thetrue reason I give the Saitek only 4 stars was the lack of a USB hub in the back of the Keyboard. USB hubs(replicators)are extremely small and would require only the same plug for both USB keyboard, Mouse, and other peripheral (e.g. USB headset). Saitek is doing a good job with this keyboard. Bang for back-lit keyboard buck the Saitek Eclipse II is worth itnow, and probably even more when they add USB ports to it.
