Keyboards are an essential part of any computer setup. When gaming on a computer, the importance of a comfortable and well designed keyboard increases ten fold. Gaming demands much more than word processing from a keyboard, and this market is quickly becoming a hot spot for custom keyboards.
Ideazon saw this market emerging and began producing the ZBoards, which are custom designed keyboards for gaming. However, these were designed primarily for gaming. This left typing and other daily activities to be a chore with the ZBoards. They have since come out with the MERC. The Merc is a full sized keyboard with dedicated gaming keys along with an enhanced QWERTY keyboard.
