First Look

The Saitek Eclipse Keyboard comes in a very fetching blue and black box with plenty of lens flare and space like abstract imagery to add to the spacey feel of the keyboard. There is also a large picture of the Eclipse on the front and back of the box so that you have a good idea what it looks like.

For those of you that didn’t know what the Saitek Eclipse looked like before viewing that picture you will no doubt be intrigued by its interesting shape. It is not flat and rectangular like the keyboards of old, but almost bone shaped. In fact, when looking up close it is clear that while making a fetching shape for the keyboard it was also designed to waste as little desk space as possible which is excellent, especially for those with small desk space.

The box also has a nice list of features for you to have a look at before purchasing this beast, always a bonus.

The Saitek logo and Eclipse keyboard are both shown in clear white fonts. No fancy graphics for that part of the box.
