That's just it, you don't have to. The z-board is gimmicky, but you still have a full keyboard and the steel series Merc is just a normal keyboard with the layout of the Fang to the left of it. You don't have to switch anything.
Everybody is crapping on these, but they must still be in demand given how much they're going for on eBay. There's plenty of stupid PC peripherals that are dirt cheap, but the steel series Merc is hundreds of dollars.
I still have a Steel Series Merc Stealth. I thought about buying a second one back in 2011, but decided against it because it was too expensive. Should have gotten it then when it was only $200.
The butterfly keypad is by far the most comfortable gaming layout I've ever used. I will genuinely cry the day it stops working.
The Merc Stealth is one of the greatest keyboards ever made. Still use it. I have a 2nd broken one that I salvage for parts/keys if and when they break. It's old as hell but damn if I can't find anything to replace it with.

Elite gaming performance, deep customization, but divisive typing feel.
