After the bamboo keyboard and the VoIP one, today we present you a product aimed at a more playful market segment, the gamers.

In fact, even if you're not a hardcore gamer, you'll still think that Ideazon's keyboard would look good on your desk, especially for those long hours spent playing a FPS or an arcade.

And now, let's see what's so special about Merc, the company's new peripheral. On the right side, you have the usual group of keys, the only difference being that the numeric keypad has engulfed the cursor keys.

But the interesting part is the right one, where the producer is revolutionizing the keyboard universe with an ergonomic group of keys specifically designed for gaming. As you can see in the image, you have special keys for weapons, crouching, jumping and a red group of keys for moving.

Ideazon has accurately computed the position of the right hand on the keyboard and has tilted the gaming keys with 11 degrees, giving the user more comfort.

In addition, a special routine allows users to press 7 keys simultaneously without causing the operating system to freak out.

Given Merc's tech specs, the $40 price tag is extremely reasonable.
