Customer Review: Actually, it's perfect!
Summary: 5 Stars
I really stressed over buying a new keyboard, and did extensive research first. I wanted something that I could type on (I'm in college) and would be great for gaming (I also write gaming articles). My other big problem is that I'm ambidextrous. I constantly switch hands while using the mouse. Many keyboards are definitely geared for right-handers. I wanted customization options. And finally, I wanted a lighted keyboard, but orange or red weren't really doing it for me.
I ordered the Merc Stealth, and must say it has been great!
First, it's comfortable for all applications. I can set it up customized for either hand, since you can customize any buttons and there is the number pad on the right, and the gaming pad on the left. It's fast and easy to customize and switch customizations for various applications.
I was worried about the size, but it's not overly huge by any means; actually it's much smaller than I thought it would be, and nicely so. I have a small frame and small hands and this works well for me.
The lighting feature is awesome! You have a choice of three colors - red, blue, or purple; and several intensity settings. I'm glad I went with a keyboard able to do purple, since that seems to be the clearest to read at night; but the other colors are nice too. The keyboard lights up very well, including the characters (not just underneath the keys), so everything is very easy to read. I also was worried whether the lighting would be irritating, but it's not - it's just right!
The gaming pad is comfortable and utterly configurable.
Something I didn't really appreciate until I got it was how nice the pre-designed keyboard schemes are. The keyboard comes with software that allows you to select a pre-designed scheme that maps the keys for specific games etc. You can visit the company website to download more. And you can create your own custom schemes.
So, it is super-easy to switch between games. If I play WoW, I just click the button on the keyboard itself that opens the software and select the WoW scheme, then play. If I then want to play Crysis, it's just as easy - push one button, click one default scheme, and away you go. You can create your own macros using the software easily too. That's good for all kinds of things, not just gaming (i.e. if you are a screenwriter or college student you can find plenty of uses for that).
Also the multi-media keys are handy for adjusting speaker volume etc.
The keyboard seems nicely made and sturdy, but it's not problematically heavy.
Overall, I really am so satisfied with how much this keyboard offers that I can really use, and use easily and seamlessly. That's the way to design a product. It truly offers a lot more usefulness than a regular keyboard, making the extra cost a bargain. It's something worth springing for.
