Saitek Eclipse replacement?

[Abyss of Borg]

Well I've had my Saitek Eclipse for about 2 weeks or so and I can't stand it anymore so I returned it. The reason I don't like it is mainly because it's made of cheap plastic and the keys were a little farther apart then what I'm used to. Every time I pressed a key I thought the weight of my finger would break it and really wasn't that durable. Went back to my $7 black generic usb keyboard. Are there any generic versions of the DAS keyboard cause that one looks sweet? Really can't afford a G15 right now. So what would be a good replacement for it? I want to use it for gaming and touch typing. I don't mind the laptop design and want low resistance when pressing the keys. Also don't want an ergo one since it's nonstandard layout would hurt my typing skills if I have type in the real world at computers that aren't mine that don't have my keyboard. Thanks for any replies.

Perhaps you had a defective model? I have been using and abusing my Eclipse for close to a year with no issues.

My friend swears by his clunky Dell keyboard (old IBM style?) that he has been using for five years. Look at the major suppliers (Logitech, Microsoft, etc.) and see what interests you. If you forgo the lit keys, there are a multitide of choices.
