What the Critics are Saying about the SteelSeries Merc Stealth Keyboard

“Once you adapt and start using the WASD arrangement it’s great. It’s like using a pad that’s specially designed for your left hand! Jumping into the Z-Board control software, the first thing that strikes me is that there is very little ‘customising’ to be done right off the bat. You let it detect games and go from there. That’s it!”
