Zboard have been making gamer-focused keyboards for some time, but the compromise between QWERTY and separate WASD keys has forced some gamers' hands into unusual contortions.

Fortunately, their all-new, all-singing, all-dancing MERC does away with that problem--it features a side WASD pad, with more programmable keys than before as well as a full QWERTY keyboard. No need for separate keysets this time; although the older model is much easier to clean thanks to its hot-swapping keys, we prefer comfortable typing every time.
