Ideazon Unleashes New MERC Keyboard for Hardcore Gamers

Ideazon Inc., designer and developer of the Zboard, has announced that its MERC keyboard is available to gamers.

Building on the experience and insights gained from the original award-winning Zboard design, the new MERC is the second offering that Ideazon has developed for gamers to meet the exploding demand for high-performance gaming peripherals.

The new hybrid MERC keyboard offers gamers the best of everything with a full QWERTY keyboard and a full time dedicated gaming terrain. The MERC also delivers an intuitive user experience by rolling an array of features and functionality into a single graphical user interface (GUI) presented in its ZEngine. The ZEngine supplies the user with predefined key layouts and the ability to easily switch between them for today's top PC gaming titles.

MERC's dedicated gaming terrain combines:
- 34 gaming keys a deadly central butterfly layout, 3 thumb keys and 11 easy-to-reach weapon keys;
- Sleek ergonomic Gamepad that tilts 11 degrees to the right;
- Core game commands are labeled for quick access, including run, walk, jump, crouch and reload.

The MERC's phantom elimination capabilities allow the user to deliver up to 7 simultaneous keystrokes. There are also seven full-sized multimedia keys and three user-defined "radio-set" hotkeys. Two additional LEDs have been added to the MERC, bringing the total to five, to indicate special gaming feature activations.
