Now that is one crazy looking keyboard! Yes, the MERC is probably not for everone out there. It is however, the perfect keyboard for those needing a gamer’s edge.

Ideazon made a big splash in the gaming community when it released the Zboard, a keyboard that allowed users to insert custom key sets for use with popular game titles. This was great for gamers who couldn’t stand playing their favorite games on a regular keyboard, but it was also an inconvenience because you had to remove and install a different key set when you wanted to play another game, or just to type.

This time around, Ideazon decided to ditch these key set plates and build a “hybrid” keyboard with an integrated gaming area. The MERC is very much like the Wolf Claw Type II Keyboard, in that it contains a normal keyboard area for typing and an added cluster of WASD-friendly gaming keys on the left. The USB keyboard has 34 gaming keys—including 3 thumb keys and 11 weapon-specific keys—all of which are labeled and arranged to surround your hand for easy access. Source: ExtremeTech
