Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Ideazon Merc Stealth Illuminated Gaming Keyboard
Customer Review: Great product!
Summary: 4 Stars
I really love this keyboard. The 3 colors to choose from and 3 brightness levels suit my purposes perfectly! I do have to say that they could've used a brighter blue - even on its brightest blue setting, the keys appear somewhat soft & fuzzy to my eyes. Both the red and purple options appear nice and sharp though.
I don't do much gaming, but it already had my "OBLIVION" game profile included in the software that comes with it! The actual keys do seem a little smaller than my other keyboard, but I'll adjust!
I would've given it 5 stars but for the fact that they removed the dedicated DEL, HOME, END, etc keys and integrated them into the numeric keypad. The only way to use them is to keep toggling the NUMLOCK key on & off which is a pain if you use the numeric keypad as much as I do.
Customer Review: Awesome product !!
Summary: 4 Stars
This keyboard has a host of keys that are programmable to the core. The backlighting is sleek.
Pros:
Almost all game keys downloadable through their software.
Backlight in 3 colors and 3 brightness levels each.
2 USB ports on it
headphone and mic outlets
Cons:
No gaming cons but some other concerns.
The ins,del,home,pgup .. etc are integrated in the numpad so numpad is mostly non-usable to me.
While the pad on the left is ergonomically placed, the main typing part is not very ergonomic, they could have curved it a little.
The keys on the main typing part are even smaller than those on my dell 710m.
Lastly, if I had read a review like the one you just read, I would still buy it ... :D
Customer Review: Super if you're small, lamentable if you are large...
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a heavy, well built, well thought-out keyboard. The keys are sturdy, the backlit keys are clear and precise. The keyboard is great and my fiance' and roomate love it. I am a man with large knuckles and fat fingers. The gamer-side of the keyboard is not functional for someone with large fingers. Quite simply, I can't use it. I would love to see Ideazon make an ergonomic keyboard version of this without the gamer-side functions. I would use it in a heartbeat. Four out of Five because they didn't consider us fat-fingered gamers when they designed the left-hand side of this otherwise wonderful piece of keyboard engineering.Customer Review: Interesting but not perfect
Summary: 4 Stars
I wanted this keyboard to play a few games, WOW, being one of them. The keyboard takes some getting used to. You have to use more force to type and the normal keyboard part is not so normal.
As for the gaming keypad, the main problem I have is the keys are too close together. I am a woman with average sized hands. A man with larger hands would have a real problem. I am keeping the board because it does ease the stress on my hands while playing and that was the main reason I purchased it. The Ideazon company should rethink the spacing on the gaming pad and also angle it just slightly more.
Customer Review: Great but not the greatest

The number pad is combined with the functions keys:Delete, Cut, Copy, Insert, End, Page Down, Find, Home, Page up. It is one of the best I have seen, just do not care for that feature! If they would have kept the nine keys above the arrow keys on a normal keyboard. This product would be killer! I use the number pad alot, and the nine keys, but having to turn one on, and one off is a pain. So I'm trying to training myself just to use the numbers above the letters. Overall I still love this keyboard and would recommend it to someone, but inform there of the learning curve.
