I've had my zboard merc for over three years now, and for a year or so now, it just isn't working. The regular keyboard works, but the special keys on the side do not change according to the mods I set on the program, so I end up just using the normal keys. Can't find any zboard website, what's up? I will be so thankful for some help.

Steelseries bought them out. steelseries.com will have the drivers(zengine) for any zboard users

  • guru2tx Oct 04, 2010

    Due to the Starcraft II mod release, along with the release of the new zengine software, the WoW mods are not working. I opened a trouble ticket with steelseries and they are expecting the corrected software to be available shortly with an ETA of no later than Oct. 15 2010 according to Mike S. from steelseries.


    Eric,
    There is an underlying development level issue with the mod due to the Starcraft II mod release and SteelSeries Engine release. Unfortunately there is not a fix that we may provide at this time.
    We've logged your email and will contact you as soon as our developers release a fix along with any corresponding troubleshooting steps. The current ETA is no later than October 15.

    Regards,
    Mike S

Zboard has issues when I install software

The original drivers are not updated therefore the keyboard acts erratically.
When you just connect the keyboard normally it has the proper driver installed automatically by the Operating systems Dll( dynamic link library ) files You could go to the manufacturer site to see if there is an updated version of the driver or just purchase another keyboard with better compatibility.

Keyboard gaming malfunction

I had the same kind of problem with my Merc Zboard gaming Keyboard. I had to uninstall the software for the board. I then went to the manufacture's website and downloaded the updated drivers directly from them. This fixed my gaming issues 100% ^_^

Baby spilled coke in i now only par of he keys work can we do anyhing

Drain all of the liquid from the keyboard by shaking. If the fluid in the keyboard was not plain water, rinse the keyboard out using plain water, preferably distilled water. Then, rinse out the keyboard using distilled alcohol. This will force the water out of the keyboard and allow it to dry better. Wait until the keyboard is thoroughly dry--this may take two or three days. The keyboard should then be usable, but don't try to plug it in unless you are sure it is thoroughly dry.

WOW Wrath of the Lich King Keyset for ZBoard

I had the same problems as you and found this answer on blizzard forums.

Steelseries took over from Ideazon and Ideazone no longer exist so none of their websites work any more.

First, the disc that comes with your ZBoard is now too old to use. The drivers on the disc were made by Ideazon before Steelseries took over, whereas the WotLK keyset was made afterwards. Steelseries seem to have completely reworked the drivers in the interim.

How to Fix
Step 1. Uninstall your ZBoard.
Step 2. Go to http://www.steelseries.com/downloads/#keyboards and DL the Z Engine.
Step 3. Make sure your ZBoard is plugged in with the standard keyset.
Step 4. Install the new Z Engine.
Step 5. Switch to your WotLK keyset.
Step 6. Run WoW.

I used this solution last night with some success.
Most of the gamer keys now work but some still don't work correctly such as, all the chat buttons default to say.
Hope this helps

Wireless keyboard and wireless Mouse

Try
Normal 0 Press the Receiver button (and the lights will start flashing.
Then if the Keyboard isn't working, press the small RESET/CONNECT button on the back of the board to connect the keyboard to the receiver.

If the MOUSE isn’t working, push the small RESET/CONNECT button on the back of the mouse to connect to the receiver. Then they should work okay.
Hope this helps. Bud
