SteelSeries Merc Stealth Highlights:
"The Merc Stealth includes 97 standard QWERTY keys and 34 gaming keys. It measures 21 inches long and about 7 inches wide�bigger than your normal keyboard. Its monochrome color scheme is accentuated by a glossy, semi-transparent finish at the top, while its dark, black keys have puffy, fatter key labels for easier readability. It plugs in via USB and will reward you with two extra 2.0 USB ports in return. Just to the left of these ports are audio jacks for headsets and microphones." Full review

"As a gaming specific keyboard, it does all of the things you would expect from it. The ability to customize the Merc with preset gaming profiles is huge. The ability to plug in a headset to the keyboard makes fumbling around the back side of your computer to plug in said headset a thing of the past. Changing the keyboard's LED lighting to suite your mood or overall look of your system is an added bonus. Overall, it is an above average keyboard. It is specifically designed as a gaming keyboard and performs well in this capacity." Full review

"A great product here with the Merc Stealth Gaming Keyboard. The layout of the keys will work for the majority of PC gamers out there, minus the lefties, and the keys feel great. The ability for it to light up makes for nice late-night gaming, and the added Audio In/Out jacks, as well as USB 2.0 ports, mean that you don't have to worry too much about wires coming from your computer over the keyboard."

"The Merc Stealth gaming keyboard is a gamer's dream. After using it for a while you will find it hard to go back to a standard keyboard. If you like a keyboard that is gentler on your hands this will do nicely as well, as the gaming area's offset and the key's softer strike are better for your joints and nerves. Do yourself a favor and get one of these babies soon!" Full review
