GamingShogun.com has posted a review of the new keyboard by Ideazon, the 'Merc Stealth'. Unlike their 'ZBoards', this is a full size device that does not fold up but features that slick-looking set of gaming keys.

Full Review:
Ideazon is most known for it's gaming peripherals. Specifically, it's much lauded 'ZBoard' gaming keyboard. Most recently, however, they have gone in a new direction with their 'Merc Stealth' gaming keyboard. No longer a fold-up design, the Stealth is a full size keyboard featuring a rugged, black plastic covering and three different colors of back-lighting (with three brightness levels too). As stated previously, it is a rugged and sturdy design which adds a sense of stability to the unit.

The Stealth's keyboard functions as well as you would expect a keyboard to. Ideazon has had to make some keys dual-purpose, however, to keep the size of the unit down. An example of this is that the numpad 8 key also doubles as the 'Home' key. Laptop owners should have no problem switching to this as many of those keyboards do the same thing. The keyboard also features 4 USB 2.0 ports on the back as well as gold-plated microphone and headphone ports. These add-on ports increase the Stealth's portability and LAN party usage as it is much easier to connect your peripherals to the keyboard than have a bunch of cables streaming around to the back of the pc. The action of the keys are the only thing I was not fully pleased with. This is definitely a personal preference, however I prefer my keys 'crisp' and a bit rougher on my fingers. The Stealth's keys have a softer strike which is probably going to end up saving me from arthritis of the hands but I digress.....
