To bad Zboard is a crap keyboard idea,great, keyboard less than great

Zboard aint bad they might look too slick but when it comes to the amount of keys and usefullness zboard rocks especially merc stealth

For that price Z-board is the best there is, unless you want to buy some logitech overprised junk with more features than necessary. And merc stealth, just perfect for my liking.

Zboard is a fully functional keyboard, good choice in my opinion if you want a keyboard for gaming.

I have being using a G15 for a few years ... I have the blue lit one they dont make anymore.  However I believe I will finally be replacing it with a Zboard and the Conan keyset.  If I dont like it, I will give it to my son and if I do like it I will give my son the G15 ... either way, we both win ... except he wont get the keyset because he isnt not getting AoC.

The G15 back lit is good keyboard -  it would be interesting to know which one you end up with

I was lookin into this...but thought the Zboard Merc was a better choice. With the Zboard you gotta buy the new keypad for specific games...while the Merc, you just download the new game profile n costs alot less.
