Ideazone, the company behind the Zboard is back with a new product, the Merc Stealth. Although the Merc has been around for some time, the new, updated version comes with three different backlights, red, blue and purple. This might not seem all that special, but the Merc Stealth also has illuminated characters on all its keys.

This should hopefully make it easier to use the keyboard in a dimly lit room and you can adjust be backlit in three steps as well as switch it off completely. As with the original version, the Merc Stealth features 34 dedicated gaming keys that are labeled and according to Ideazone are positioned for ultimate precision and control.

The movement keys have been rubberized on the Merc Stealth and you can press an unlimited amount of keys simultaneously without it causing any problems. The Merc Stealth has also got two USB 2.0 ports into which you can plug your mouse or your memory key for easy access. Ideazone has also added gold plated jacks for a headset and multimedia controls, something the old version lacked.

The Merc Stealth is coming with the same Z Engine software as the Zboard and the Z Engine comes with 125 pre-defined keyboard layouts for a wide range of games. You can also program your own setups an there's even drag and drop macro editing. The Merc Stealth should be out on the 17th of September and has a MSRP of US$89.99.
