Zboards MERC Gaming Keybaord

I have owned the previous version of this keyboard for years and it still works great, I wanted this one for the addition of the backlighting and USB connections. The feel of the keys when typing is actually much improved over the last board, which was...

Disabling the Windows key would be nice, although it may be possible through the software, I don't know...I don't really have a need for profiles or macros, so I just it right out of the box, but nothing was listed in the manual about being able to do...

Has LED lights

The gaming key-set, the E key came stuck down... You would think that before the send out the keyboard they would at least push each button once... Not only that But I had to pay an additional $20 to ship it back to new-egg, so I diffident receive a...

I had the original Ideazon ZBOARD up until the newest software for win7 x64 destroyed the use of it, it had to remain plugged in or I would have to reinstall the software each and every time to get the game pad to work again ; But because this was the...

I WIN with a trade like this

Feels good to type on ; Comfortable Curvature ; Lots of backlight options (3 colors, 3 brightness settings on each) ; Multimedia buttons

MMO Buttons" (buttons on the left-hand side) were awkwardly placed, never really used them even though I tried on multiple occasions to get used to em ; Keys start to fade after a while (my S key is completely gone and D is pretty close) ; Putting...

Surprizing build quality. My first Merc Stealth was from Ideazon and I kind of thought of it as a gimicky toy of a keyboard but it has held up through minor spills and the occaisonal drop without a hitch. The game pad is very useful for FPS games in...

Where to begin ; Back lit: It lets you adjust the color (blue red purple) and brightness of the back light ; Gaming keys: You can kiss WASD goodbye, on the gaming keys is very easy to reach the 1 through - keys, along with space bar, alt shift, etc....

The rubber grip at the bottom of the keyboard starts coming out of place after about 6 months. The same thing happened to my old Zboard MERC (its predecessor: no LEDs or headset/USB jacks), then again, I do slide them back and forward A LOT! I did...

Left side keys, back lit keys, layout and feel

Frequently blinks then either the number pad or the entire keyboard stops working and you have to restart your PC even after following the support instructions ; Steelseries customer support is HORRIBLE at best, granted they will respond to your first...

Great back-lighting, very bright, adjustable ; Durable keyboard

A bit wider than an average keyboard. People with a small desk may run into problems ; Some of the gaming keys have started to ware off ; Software with gaming profiles is utterly useless ; Have to toggle NumLock in order to use the Del key (annoying at...
