i am looking for keyboard with low profile keys, basically a keyboard similar to a laptop keyboard, more specifically a keyboard similar to a Gateway FX laptop keyboard. i would like one that is illuminated. i own the logitech illuminated keyboard and the razor lycosa and do not like either of them. there is something about the gateway fx laptop keyboard that is just perfect. any recommendations on low profile / illuminated keyboards other than the logitech illuminated keyboard and the razor lycosa? thanks for your help

Well the Saitek Eclipse is a nice illuminated keyboard...but it's not exactly low profile, very nice to type on though (it's what I use).

With your specifications i dont think you've got too many options. I think thats pretty much it.

yes i use Saitek Eclipse (red) for my gaming and typing, works wonders in a darkly lit room. (though I would of liked it to be low profile, I still love it, one of the better keyboards i used (got it for about 28$ brand new including shipping.)

I'm using a gateway fx laptop right now and I know what you mean. The keyboard is amazing as I can type anything with such fluidity.

i have owned a Saitek Eclipse (blue) for about a year and i must say its pretty much junk. i hardley game anymore but its falling apart and the paint on the keys is rubbing off so its getting harder to tell what keys are. take my advice stay away from this brand.

i like it so much i might order the keyboard part from gateway and try to build my own keyboard from it. also after using the razor lycosa keyboard with rubber keys i am actually growing to like it a lot. still the gateway fx keyboard is amazing.
