Today Ideazon, the people behind the legendary Zboard announced they are going to be releasing a new product in September, called the MERC Stealth gaming keyboard.

I am looking quite excited about this and will be pre-ordering one very soon. IT has some great features that aren’t just gimmicks but features I believe will be very handy.

The new MERC Stealth has a three colour lighting system built into every key on the keyboard.

“We’ve researched with gamers, elite teams and game developers to bring the PC gaming community the most complete gaming keyboard on the market today,” said Chris Rathgeber, President of Ideazon Inc.

Features of Ideazon’s MERC™ Stealth include:

· Fully Illuminated with 3 color options and 3 sensitivity settings;

· A 34 key dedicated gaming terrain featuring rubberized movement keys;

· 144 Gamer Touch responsive keys;

· Multimedia control centre featuring two USB 2.0 ports to plug in mice and other peripherals;

· Gold-plated audio jacks for headsets and microphones;

· Combined navigation and number pad with 11 one-click shortcuts;

· Z Engine gaming software that allows users full programmability, with easy to use drag and drop macro-editing, or the ability to select from over 125 pre-defined key mapping layouts.

The Stealth will certainly get some questions when your non gaming mates see it!

The keyboard will cost €89.99 (about £60/$120), and will be released on September 17th.
