    So maybe IT will be my last keyboard. Smile

  • @harvey160

    c'mon man,

    someone dying isn't something to joke about

  • @harvey160 He is probably going to outlive you because he has a better heart.

  • @6:02 there is a pillbox! idk why thats funny

  • @tanktheturtleman That is for my antipsychotic medications. They help with the psychosis, hallucinations and delusions. I keep thinking that people are saying bad things about my videos and making fun of me. So I need to take my medications for that. You are not making fun of me are you? You did give me a thumps up on this video right? I think you are making fun of me! I better take my Risperdal, Zyprexa, Seroquel, Geodon and Abilify. You are NOT making fun of me are YOU!

  • @hnbbs ha ha no im not making fun of you... read my other comment I think you are awesome and im definitely going to be like you when im older

  • This is the coolest "old" man i think ive ever seen... im going to be doing technology reviews when im his age!!!... keep doing this and i think you are the bomb!

  • Thank you for your review hnbbs, I was thinking about purchasing this kb and now I'm definitely going to do so. My main concern was the brightness level but it looks quite substantial. Also very great you're into this PC stuff, this coming from a 24-year-old lol. View my channel and you will see interests can go the other direction, I'm interested in very very old technology.

  • I love people like you, older people that take interest in these kind of stuff. Not many like you out there. :)

    Thx for the review, awesome. Thinking of buying that saitek eclipse.. looks awesome. Except the enter button. :D

  • On mice I used many myself as for consumer suppliers HP has the best one but for more custom manufactures I love Logitech, still havn't found the best wireless one but for corded I have owned my Logi G5 Laser for 6yr and not one issue, it is a righty mouse but its best $65 I spent so look for the G series or at least in the laser or optic mice type for good response Also Razor mice are nice but feel more glossy plastic as the Logitech G series has a rubber hard plastic ie Log = no sweaty palms

  • @TriskaidekaPunk Thanks for the information and the recommendation.

  • hnbbs is a cool grandfather

  • It is awesome seeing an older man who knows about recent technology. I still have a hard time showing my grandfather how to turn on a computer

  • my friend ordered saitek eclipse but i ordered logitech g19 :)

  • Finally!!! som1 (old) on youtube!!

  • you.. are.. AWESOME!!!!!!!!! the grandfather gamer :P

  • how old are you? i'm interested because it brought a warmness to my heart to see the elderly using new technology

  • @Dekationz I will be 70 March of this year (2011).

  • @hnbbs ic. a few years younger than my father :)

  • Thanks for the review! I cant get either keyboards where I live, so i guess I have to do mail order. I am leaning to the logitech G15

  • @nitestrike1000 Both my son and I had problems with our G15 keyboards. Both the same problem. Some of the keys did not work. We had both owned and used are keyboards for some time. Just something you should think about. I am sure they have new updated models out by now however.

  • @hnbbs Thanks for replying and giving me the headsup on the G15 key problems. I will not rush to buy one , but i'll do some more research. I wanted to use it in flight simulator and wanted programable keys.

    You're an inspiration to all of us and keep up the good work! Thanks again and if you get the chance, check out my videos :)

  • Thanks for the review. You're so cool!

  • What game do you play

  • @Williamps12 I play Civ IV. Before that I played Age of Empires.

  • @hnbbs what are the dimensions of the keyboard??

  • @hnbbs You play StarCraft 2?

  • @TeamRekon Oh no.. I play Civilization IV. I play it on the very easy mode. One of those fast shoot em up games could cause me to have a heart attack I am sure.

  • grand...grand ...grand father !

  • Jim Howard, you are the coolest old man that I know... Awesome review of a gaming keyboard, I'm going to pick it up.

  • @ashtainemmons Well check around .. might be a newer version out now.

    But I am still using the Eclipse II and am still happy with it. I am running Windows 7 64 bit now. The keyboard of course works great.

  • @hnbbs Yep, I meant the III version of it, Just came out. I ordered it from newegg and looking as the 2nd one is compatible with 64 bit, hopefully the third is as well!

  • Nice video! Just to let everyone know, the newest version of this keyboard, the eclipse III and the gaming version the Cyborg v.7 are out :)

  • @viperchrisz4 Thanks for the information. I put a link in the notes to the new model of the Eclipse III.

  • @hnbbs No problem!

  • lawl wut old guy reviewing a gamer key board... awesome :)

  • @huggysthejellyfish Dam... I did not know it was a gaming keyboard.. smile

    I just look at it like a lighted keyboard. Oh that is right .. I did show the old Logitech G15 keyboard ...

    Which broke right after that.. and my son had one and it broke and it broke in the same way.. some or all of the keys would not work. So a warning on the G15 keyboard to all.

  • You say it works with Linux. I have been all over the net trying to find an illuminated keyboard that works with Ubuntu 10.04. Retailers list system requirements for Windows only. Been all over the net looking for Ubuntu compatibility for this model. I'm not "technical savvy" so it makes it more difficult for me. I would buy this keyboard in a heartbeat if I knew it was fully compatible with the Ubuntu programs.

  • @zsigzsag I use it all the time with Ubuntu 10.4. It is just a keyboard and lighted of course. Works great with Ubuntu. In fact I will be using it with Linux later today. My ex-wife wants to borrow my laptop to watch "Dexter" so I will have to use my old desktop and it has Ubuntu on it. I am using the Saitek Eclipse II keyboard (PK02AU) I know it works. I will put a link to it below the video.

  • @hnbbs Thank you so much hnbbs. I found one for a good price and ordered it. I like the contrast the lighting gives the keys. Can't wait to get it =)

  • @hnbbs Why would you have an ex-wife? You're just awesome! Unless you wanted to divorce of course.

    But I use that key board at my brothers house & I love it. (:

  • @hnbbs Hi,

    Can i ask you a question, and you don't have to answer if you won't !

    How old are you?

    Its amazing!

    Great great videos!

  • @MrWonnabee I will be 70 in March. Then my IQ will be the same as my age! Smile

  • @hnbbs You are awesome! Respect!

  • get a logitech g9x mouse or razor black mamba mouse with a steelseries sx mousepad, will save your wrists and hands from carpal tunnel!

  • isnt you too old for computers? :P

  • @timmen1111 arent you to young for computers?

  • @keukkoeukko Somebody is quite jealous of this man's amazing-ness. I hope when I hit 70 ( Said he's around that age ) I'll be like, as active as him.

  • Thanks for the tips im going to get this Keyboard ASP

  • nice review im trying to get a new keyboard cause right now im build my own personal computer but is this keyboard good?

  • @ryanpattummalee Yes, it is a good keyboard. It is what I am using. I have not had any problems with it. I have used it with Windows XP and now Windows 7 64 bit. I have used it with Linux setups also. Seems to work good.

    

  • I'm getting the "Saitek Eclipse 3". I'm gonna make a video about it if i don't chicken out hehehehe :)

  • @SweBerra Let me know when you make the review so I can check it out. Just do the review and don't worry. People may make bad comments..That is just the way some people are..Be honest..show the keyboard...Try and get good audio. Don't be like me and talk to long. Just the facts man just the facts. Keep it simple and short. I will look forward to seeing it.

  • Awesome review :) Keep it up

  • youre awesome and keep up the reviews :) i was looking to buy the Saitek Eclipse Keyboard III :) but the 2nd one looks good as well

  • @kaeh089 Thanks for the comment. I am still using the keyboard. I did a search to see if they had any new keyboards and I found the Microsoft SideWinder X6 keyboard. I do not do gaming but the X6 keyboard looks interesting. I am going to look and see if I can find some reviews of it on YouTube. One very imporant feature is how bright the light is on the keyboard. The Saitek is just right for me. But I will be interested in seeing what people on YouTube say about the Microsoft.

  • best review

  • Sometime after I did this review my Logitech G-15 keyboard broke. It would not work and I tossed it out. My son had a Logitech G-15 keyboard and he had a power surg, in Fort Worth, and now his G-15 keyboard does not work. So warning warning about the G-15 keyboard. Make sure you got a UPS unit to protect your hardware.

  • no ofance grandpa !! you the oldes guy makeing a review !! its funny !

  • @revengerro So what? You're obviously too young to even own a YouTube account.

  • @mugen1237 chill .....you may have a hart atack ! what did i say rong !!

  • @revengerro I'm not an elderly person dumb ass.

  • @mugen1237 wow your very young then if your not elderly and what can i say more you are a exeple for young people !! have a good life

  • @revengerro You're stupid as hell. Maybe, I'm in the middle? And it's "example", not "exeple". And thank you, I will have a good life.

  • @mugen1237 yeah your very mature man im just 16 and english is a foregin language so ... you are not acting like one off your age so whit this i bet that your from the land of choice .... how low can you go !

  • @revengerro Oh, I'm sorry that the only language you speak is ass.

  • i would recommend the Razer Deathadder!

    It is perfect :)

    I have had it for 2 years and i havent had 1 single problem with it!

  • does this keyboard let the light through the letters on the keys itself also

  • Yes it does...idk if u were asking or saying but yes..

  • GREAT JOB !!!

  • hnbbs: you should press the buttons too so we can see how it feels if I can say that lol . Also I would recommend a Razer mouse . I have the Razer Diamondback in blue, had it for 6 years now never had a problem and you can adjust so many things on them its unbelievable.

  • lol saitek cyborg kind of reminds me the interior of KIT in Nightrider. I'm very interested in the G15 v2 but id rather get something a lil cheaper.. since this one is like half the price

  • Excellent no nonsense review, ignore the silly kids and keep on computing ... You've obviously got a passion for it.

  • Ywah stupid kids! Older people can also be good in computing! Keep on going!!

    Great review;)

  • what do you have for a pc setup?

  • @voidtankz

    You shoud do reasearch because its old version of G15 with closing LCD panel.

    Movie is nice however you didnt compare Eclipse to any of keyboards you have. It would be most importand to many of us. Shame.

  • Nice review, gonna buy this tomorrow!

  • @voidtankz dumb ass. its the 1st version of g15.. omg.. dont tell him to do some research if ur wrong too..

    do u still have ur old g15 version? im looking for one and i wanna buy it. ty

  • Thank you so much for this review! It's perfect and I could clearly see the keyboard unlike most reviews out there. Great job!

  • its the older g15... do some research...

  • I almost fell asleep. o.O

  • Nice review, I should hopefully be getting one of theese keyboards soon :D Also take a look at the Microsoft Sidewinder X8 mouse, ive heard good things about it. Cheers

  • Comment removed

  • On the mouse, like you I have a plethora of input devices. The three mice I am using most now are the Logitech G9 (Corded), the Microsoft Sidewinder X8 (Cordless or corded, works both ways and recharges while you use it) blue laser mouse (has vertical back/forward buttons which take a little getting used to) and the Microsoft Arc for my laptops which is a very nice, small form factor folding mouse that looks REAL classy. All three are great mice.

  • Pronounced Sigh-Tek.

    They make another keyboard that's even cooler called the Cyborg, I was using that one until I got the Cyborg and love 'em both. I switched to the new Logitech G19 however and gave the Cyborg to Mom. But Google the Optimus Keyboard by Art Lebdev, it'll blow your mind, every key is an OLED. It costs over $1000 though. :)

  • @Argentium009 I saw that on TV. Yes, what a great keyboard. It is out of my price range but if I live long enough they will get the price down so I can afford it.

     Just think a keyboard that cost more than a computer. Smile

  • @hnbbs Yeah, plus it comes out of Russia, so you know they probably outsource their tech support to America. :)

  • @Argentium009 I did not know that.. I am not sure I ever owned anything that was made in Russia! Smile
