Steelseries, the pro gaming gear guys who put out (among other things) the 7G Keyboard and the Ikari Laser Mouse, have bought Ideazon, the peripheral maker best known for making the Zboard, a skinnable, customizable gaming keyboard.
As an avid consumer of such accessories and peripherals, I’m glad this is happening; I know the 7G was intended to be just as straightforward as it was, but maybe a little zazz thrown in from the Ideazon side might have made it pop a little more. I’ll stay in contact with them and see what kind of new gear they come up with.

Hmm, this could be very cool or very bad. I’m hoping that the latter is just a big fear since I own a ZBoard, not a fan of the Ideazon mouse I bought though… so who knows.

I’m guessing they’ll keep supporting the zboard for now, but likely SteelSeries will make it their own and put out a new one later this year. You’re probably okay… Ideazon has built a brand and Steelseries will want to keep it.
