I was just going off the photo of the keyboard on the website which looked almost identical to the one I'm typing this on now, on further investigation it is different. Sorry, my mistake. The Eclipse is still a good alternative though, you are wrong when you say it needs extra drivers, its just a standard USB keyboard (it might need extra software under some OS's of course, but it works fine under XP) and it doesn't have any of those multimedia keys that you will never use, apart from the standard keyset it just has a couple of volume buttons and a button to control the lighting. Are you sure you have been looking at the right keyboard? http://www.saitek.com/row/prod/eclipse.htm
