Consumer review (newegg.com)

Highly Recommended for Every Gamer

 

If you can't shell out the money for this model, go with the standard Merc. It's about half the cost and the only difference is that it lacks the backlighting.

Backlighting.. check ; Dedicated, fully configurable gaming keypad.. check ; USB ports.. check ; Headphone & Microphone jacks.. check ; 3 colors of lighting to choose from... You get the idea. This is a fantastic keyboard to use for gaming. The...

The only issue I have is that there isn't a dedicated 'delete' key. So, there's a minor inconvenience in which I will have to turn 'Num Lock' off to use delete

steelseries Merc Stealth Black USB Wired Ergonomic Gaming Keyboard - Retail

 

The gaming pad directional keys on the right will break after you use it for a few months this is why i have had 3 boards . I highly recommend getting the extended warranty so they replace it. just remember while you send off your board for replacement...

Love the board for gaming I can't live without it. I've had 3 MERC STEALTH boards from DEAZON never needed the software but tried it a few times but could never get it to do what I wanted

As stated in other reviews the key pad lay out is not a normal config and messes me up even now after over a year because I use a computer at work and wish the numbers were the normal style

Merc board

 

Great board, got it on sale with free shipping for around 65$. Couldn't pass it up. The number pad might be a con to some but it didn't take me long to adjust. All and all a very nice keyboard.

I love typing on these keys, its my first "gaming" keyboard but it surpassed my expectations. I've used the gaming pad extensively over the passed year on many games, Aion, WoW, MW2 etc and its great. The illuminated keyboard with various colors is...

Only few things kinda bug me when it comes to the board. The software is something to be desired. I've noticed when trying to change the 3 media keys on the board I'm still getting IE popping up with Firefox. Looked online to remedy to no avail. Usb...

Great for south paws

 

The Zboard program to date has work flawlessly. I have set it up to identify games automatically so each game I play it changes the game pad to match. As far as the 10 key goes.....its not a big deal! Zero is off set that's it. the other keys are...

In this world of righties a lefty has to adapt. I'm ambidextrous at many tasks. This keyboard with the separate gaming area is great! Mind you I have had standard keyboards for many years. Never saw the need to spend money on something like this, after...

USB connection will not support my 16GB cruzer even though it shows to support 2.0 ; Head phone jack will require and adapter if your sound card doesn't have a dedicated head phone jack

Love it!

 

I love this keyboard. Especially in conjunction with the awesome Steelseries mouse. LOTS of buttons on both! Very convenient, no more screen clicking while PvPing! Also great for other games (I only play Call of Duty other than Wow but there are loads...

Lots of keys ; AWESOME gaming setup ; Loads of keys accessible while gaming ; Three colors with multiple levels of brightness so it doesn't blind you if you're in a dark room (and an off setting) ; Lots of profiles even without downloading a thing!...

Large. If you barely have the room for a standard sized keyboard you'll need to rearrange some things. This is a big keyboard but it is VERY worth it

Honest Review

 

I would gladly pay 30 or even 40 dollars for this item, but what I actually paid is a crime. This board might be perfect for you, but is is not for me. I will probably end up rebuying a g11 (color scheme be &%#$@) with a wolfking game pad (realized...

This is my first NE review (long time customer). Had a logi-g11 for a long time, then the enter, k, and right shift stopped working on me. I am a computer tech, so I can tell you I tried every fix to no avail. Decided to go ahead with an entirely new...

Number pad is mixed with delete pad. I use shift-del a lot, so this is a bit of getting used to ; Gamepad keys are slick - On other boards the large gap in wasd cluster keys makes the cluster easy to use. The Merc gamepad cluster is slick and there is...

Best Gaming Keyboard

 

Watch out as this is a rather wide keyboard so make sure you have room for it with your setup!!

Nothing beats the size & placement of the left hand gamimg keys on this board!! I bought this keyboard for a friend after using the Z-Board that Steelseries bought and now manufactures for a year now and have almost, no, actually become dependant on...
