For the Stealth backlit keyboard, go here: www.ideazon.com/us/products/mercstealth.aspOn DS's MercBoard link, I clicked the 'products' tab on the top, then 'gaming keyboards.' Now you know! ;-) Yes, it does look sweet!

I think somebody here has one, I can remember who. I've always thought that laying one keyboard on top of another would probably make for sloppy feeling keystrokes. I HAD the original Zboard w/changeable key-sets . I wouldn't recommend it ! I switched to the Merc keyboard close to a year ago . Have had NO problems ! I wouldn't trade it !! EDIT : er..........uh.........Well, I may trade it for ANOTHER Merc (Stealth) I GOT THE Merc Stealth !! ;D It's just AWESOME ! Every key is lit Three different colors. {Red ,Blue, and Purple(looks purplish/pinkish to me)} Three levels of brightness (Subtle, Ambient, and Intense ..of course off ) It has two USB ports. It has two extra wires integrated into the cord to plug into your sound card. Two ports to plug your headphones and mic. directly to the keyboard ! I had my Merc for about 19 months w/no problems. Is still functioning fine , just upgraded . I have no doubt that I will get my money's worth out of this one. It is heavier , but that is probably a good thing, Less movement on the desk during heavy play. As of right now , the best deal I found anywhere was from Dell.

Never ask what kind of computer a person uses--if it's a Mac, he'll say; if not, why embarrass him?

I use the Microsoft wireless laser mice 5000 and 6000. I like wireless better than wired mice, and I see no lag whatsoever. In fact, with wired mice, the physical resistance of moving the cord sometimes made my mouse move away from where I was aiming! OH, and I tried the ergonomic version of that mouse; it was fatter and stood up tall and was supposed to keep you from resting your wrist on the tabletop, but it made the thumb buttons too hard and too awkward to reach on it, so I gave it to my wife (who is left-handed! but she uses it for her right hand!).
The Mac keyboards have had USB 1.0 ports for as long as I can remember. You probably would be better off connecting your mouse to the pc or to a high-speed usb hub which is connected to the pc, rather than to a keyboard, especially if the port on the keyboard is not 2.0.

I cant see attaching your MOUSE to the keyboard . But are very handy for connecting USB headphones, Web cams, Cameras, (cough,choke ...)Ipods , etc. But Yes, they ARE 2.0 ports

easy LC...you almost choked one that 1...and I ain't into givin no Hindlick maneuver . I was also looking at the Merc...just not sure if I want to change out of my Saitek..it works good and has a very firm feel to it...but I also use the Microsoft Habu by razer.I went back to wired to lose any lag what so ever...the only frustration I have is when my mouse cord gets stuck on my monitor mount..usually in the middle of a bash or knife fight due to the maneuvering.
Plus I figured i shouldn't buy it since I had just bought 2 more gigs of ram a few weeks ago and I ordered my 2nd video card to get my Sli up and running...man my butt hurts..the wife really was not impressed...sheesh..but at least when i have my headphones on and an awesome frame rate in COD...I can't hear her...hehe

DS... go with the Audio FX Pro 5+1 with force feedback... it is amazing! Well built, comfortable, and very high quality sound.
