Ideazon Merc Stealth Gaming Keyboard Review

The last way to use the Merc Stealth for gaming, and the only way where you can make the board fit to your game without outside help, is to simply set the in-game options menu to match the pad. So this is the option where you don’t use the Ideazon mods, or you just turn them off by preference, but the software must be installed for the game pad to work regardless. Just as you would for a normal QWERTY keyboard, just customize the controls to match the cluster of keys letter for letter. And since the cluster is similar to the WASD setup, the translation will be slight. The example: the Titan Quest mod did not work with the expansion pack “Immortal Throne,” so I just went in Immortal Throne’s options menu and changed the controls in-game. In this way, you’re literally just taking the formal key-setup and pasting it onto the Merc Stealth game pad.

Final Word
For the price, compared to other gaming keyboards, and considering the slick style and illuminated keys (but despite the compacted num pad setup) this keyboard is the perfect board for gamers – tolerable for worshipers of the num pad.

The Good: Illuminated keys; stylish; easy on the eyes and fingertips; two USB ports; earphone/microphone jacks; separate gaming cluster keys at a nifty 11 degree angle, stacked number keys, and the nine most-used keys are rubberized

The Bad: Compacted num pad with too many keys in one place; default software mods may not meet your needs and may require fixing
