Very atmospheric

I'm getting on in years and my eyesight is not what it used to be. To see the screen as clearly as possible I prefer playing SH3 with the room lighting dimmed very low while still allowing me to see the keyboard as I'm a definite two finger typist. I even tried a red light bulb in a lamp but it was not enough to let me see the keys. Last week I spotted a Saitek Eclipse backlit keyboard with red backlighting instead of the usual blue. It arrived yesterday and what a difference it makes: I can now play in total darkness and it really does improve the game atmosphere and what I can see onscreen, especially when patrolling during the hours of darkness and trying to identify the flag that merchant is flying. Highly recommended, and not just for short sighted ancient mariners!

(Thanks to all of the modders for their work.)
