Most lightsaber duels done by fans are rubbish - a lot of work goes into them but they are usually poorly choreagraphed and shot, and no amount of SFX can make up for a couple of fat kids living out their Annakin fantasies on each other.

But there are exceptions - like these two:

Two white boys do Lucas endorsed saber fighting but do it well.

Two Chinese boys do meaningful chopsocky lightsaber fighting.

I've lusted after Saitek's illuminated gamer's keyboard's for a while. There's something very sexy about the Saitek Eclipse II Illuminated keyboard that just begs you to play games until 3.00 am in the morning. They retail here in Australia for around $70 and I've only found them at Harvey Norman Coorparoo but they must be around somewhere else.

They come in red, blue and purple and I'm torn as to which way to go. Is it like lightsabres where the colour has significance? Is red reserved for cheaters, H4XX0R5 and trolls on Digg as followers of the dark side? Do you have to be a badass Motherfucker like Mace Windu to go the purple? Does blue denote you as a n00b like Luke in Episodes IV & V? Where's my green keyboard?
