Introduction

I would like to thank Menno & Ijaz at Zboard for making this review possible.

The Canadian Ideazon, the company behind the Zboard brand, was founded in 1999 by an avid StarCraft & Quake player - Oren Kramer. Since its foundation, the company has released keyboards made for gamers. The newest offering is the MERC gaming keyboard, which combines the already successful Fang™ Gamepad with a very unique keyboard.
