Does anyone know if there is a download for the ZBoard for SRO? I've checked all over the place and can't seem to find one. Thanks.

nevermind, I found one. If anyone has a Merc zboard let me know and I'll post the file, good stuff and alot easier on the wrist.

is it the ergonomics that help the wrist or the macro function? Cause my wrist hurts pretty bad after a while.
If you use the macro function is it compatible with SRO or did you have to bypass/modify something?

The ergonomics of the Merc Zboard help alot with wrist pain since the gaming keys are at a slight angle and much more natural for your arm. My wrist would kill me after an hour or so of straight grinding, but with the zboard I haven't had a problem yet.

I haven't toyed around with the macros yet but plan on it, maybe something simple like a one button macro for all of my buffs or what not we'll see. I'll let you know how it turns out.

Thanks for the explanation. Keep me posted. I heard about the g15 keyboard from logitech, but this one is new to me.

The G15 is a really good keyboard, it runs about 100 USD, and is alot more complicated than the Merc Zboard. My dad bought one for when he plays FPS but it took him a couple days to install it and find the software downloads so he was able to take full advantage of the features.

I was playing around with the macros of my Merc board and it's actually really easy. I made hotkeys for buffs, so all I do is push one button and i auto cast every one, along with an attack macro so I cast a lightning nuke, then lion shout right after for when I'm hunting sniper/hunters. It makes things a little easier so I'm not pushing button after button.

For just 35 bucks the Merc is an awesome buy, but If your a technophile the G15 is a great board too.

I use a Nostromo N52. It's useful for macroing spells/buffs, and also handy when you get like 2-3 giants filling your screen and you can't click off to run away - since I'm already using the keyboard I just run then macro a Bless spell to cover myself.

Hi,

Are you still around using Zboard?
