    Yeah that's way too much. These can be used for laptops too right?

    Does your laptop have USB?

    Then yes.

    Ah yes good point, I just don't know why they differentiate between desktop vs notebook keyboards.

    Well, laptop keyboards are mainly smaller and easier to travel with (portable).

    Some also are wireless, even have it built into a dock.

    By the way, congrats on making the big 1000 post mark. :cool:

    I thought the Saitek keyboards have three different color lights, and you get to choose which color you want?

    The Eclipse III has that. For this version on sale each color is a different model. I have the blue and red ones.
