I've had a Saitek Eclipse II for a couple of years now, and never had a problem with it. I paid $70 for it at Best Buy. These days Amazon has them for $50.

It has three different colors, blue, purple, and red for subsimming. Also has a rheostat so you can dim the lights for different conditions, and the same switch that cycles through the lights also turns them off completely.
