Others/Mice & Keyboards by stefan @ 2010-09-01

The Eclipse Wireless Litetouch keyboard from Mad Catz comes with an interesting 3-in-1 LCD touch panel and functions can be assigned to each key like shortcuts to our preferred programs or up to a maximum of three individual websites, all of which will open at the same time and all at the touch of just one button.

In the numeric pad area we can see the LED display, which is covered with a drawing that must be peeled of before the first use; a little down we can see the trackball, relatively easy to operate, and the two mouse buttons:

When we peel off the protective plastic film, we can reveal the LCD screen, where the numeric pad and other useful information will be shown:

The trackball along with the two mouse buttons are made from quality components and do not make noise when operated; when we move the trackball, we will also notice a red LED light coming from inside the trackball mechanism:

Here is a closer look on the wrist rest; on the left side we can find a larger Eclipse logo:

When looking from the bottom of the keyboard, we can realize how slim it is; this also traduces in having a low weight:

On the right side of the keyboard, right under the LCD display zone we can find the holes for a little speaker, which makes some clicks if the LCD-drawn buttons are pressed:
