Outstanding

Ideazon Merc Stealth Illuminated Gaming Keyboard- ZXP-2000 Black USB Wired Ergonomics
Ideazon Merc Stealth Illuminated Gaming Keyboard- ZXP-2000 Black USB Wired Ergonomics

Pros: This is my first gaming keyboard. I'm very pleased. The illumination features (3 colors, 4 brightness settings) are very nice for late night gaming sessions (especially for an insomniac like myself). The gamepad is amazing. It takes a little adjusting to (PERFECT size for my hand, also), but once you get the hang of it, you can obliterate the competition. Has not affected my ability to type, either. I type roughly 100 words per minute, and the keyboard's layout has not hindered me at all. Also, have not had any trouble with the 2-in-1 number pad to the right side, as others have mentioned.

Cons: The only real problem with this keyboard is that the software it comes with doesn't really work. When it does work, the Z-Engine is pretty cool, but most of the time it fails to work correctly (especially on Vista). However, you don't need the software to use the keyboard, the software just lets you customize your settings outside of games. It becomes a little bit of an inconvenience to set up your configs for every game in-game, but not so much that it inhibits the keyboard at all.

Overall Review: VERY pleased. Very much worth the cash in my opinion.

Pros: Plenty of programmable keys Software is straight forward and pretty easy to use LED screen is a big plus Backlighting is nice Price isn't bad

Cons: It is massive. I can't use it because it is way too big for my hand. Hand continually cramps up from fingers being spread so far apart trying to use it. Wrist / Palm rest feels like a very odd angle to me. This could also have to do with the smaller size of my hand, but my wrist constantly cramps up while trying to play with this as well.

Overall Review: I put it back in the box and it is sitting on my dresser. If your hands are big enough for this thing, you'll love it. If you have smaller hands, you're better off with the Razer Nostromo (or the newer Razer Orbweaver) instead.

Fun, but too short

Pros: Fun, addictive game

Cons: Game was too short. Only 6 "worlds" with 8 levels or so per world, so I finished it very quickly.

Pros: Excellent mechanical infrastructure Programmable macro keys LED backlighting Wrist rest is detachable (which is great because I'm never going to use it with it attached)

Cons: Software is meh overall. Not bad enough to take an egg off, though.
