    Red lights look cool ;)

    I wonder if anyone knows how much better is the Eclipse 2 keyboard over the original?

    Well, I just ordered one. It should definitely work on your Dell, I don't see why it wouldn't.

    One of my friends had the original and he loved it. Can't say what it's like from experience since I've never used it myself. Though, with this deal maybe I can convince him to buy it and compare it to the first one. Thanks MrPresident :)

    the lights can be changed its not just one color..i know of 3 colors it can be changed to, blue, red , and purple

    EDIT*
    taken from the description below of product

    The Eclipse offers three colors... red, blue, and purple. Like the Eclipse Gaming Keyboard the Eclipse II also features laser etched letters the light up individually.
