XYZComputing has published a review of the Ideazon MERC Gaming Keyboard here on their website. Yes.. the sheer name of the keyboard (MERC not Ideazon mind you) should make your online enemies shudder. This USB based keyboard features:

  • MERC dedicated gaming terrain – combined 34 gaming keys, a unique butterfly layout, three thumb keys, and 11 weapon keys. Ouch!
  • Ergonomic game pad tilts 11 degrees to match natural wrist positions
  • Core game commands are labeled for quick access – including run, walk, jump, crouch, and reload
  • Multimedia controls and hot keys
  • Oh yes – it’s got an enhanced QWERTY keyboard too – how boring!
  • Powered by ZEngine Technology with Windows 64 bit USB drivers available.

Soo.. does this keyboard deserve a name like MERC? Here’s the verdict from XYZComputing:

Overall the MERC is a solid product and the price makes it very attractive for those amongst us who want to make a change to their gaming technique. Being a WASD purist myself, it was not enough to convert me, but I have little doubt that there are people out there that will flock to the more open, optimized key layout.
