Merc Stealth Gaming Keyboard

I'm using a SteelSeries Merc Stealth gaming keyboard. I've had it for several years after the previous one of the same model had to be retired after just over 12 years in service. Not because it technically broke, but it was an older version that required software to handle the key bindings correctly. But after a Windows update, the software stopped working. Luckily, I had a second, newer version which doesn't need that software. I hope that will last until the end of my gaming days because I'm not sure if I can handle any other format on a keyboard now. Paired with a RedDragon M908 mouse, I hardly need to move my hands over to the rest of the keyboard.

ZBoard MERC, my beloved...

Steel series bought out Ideazon. They must have been doing pretty good for them to do that. Admittedly, Steel Series eventually discontinued it.

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.

yeah I'm still using my merc stealth till it dies.

I had the Zboard Merc model.....and wasn't a huge fan of it. Mushy keys, the arrows on the opposite side of where they had been my entire PC gaming life, Others liked it, but I just couldn't get into it.

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.

My steel series stealth merc is the best keyboard I’ve ever had 15 years now
