I'm really pulling my hair out over this. I have a Steelseries Merc Stealth and absolutely love it.

I play a lot of MMOs so the two rows of number keys above the WASD are absolutely invaluable to me.
I've tried moving back to a normal keyboard and I just can't do it as there aren't enough keys in easy reach.

Steelseries no longer make the Merc or anything like it and I can't seem to find anything similar on the market. I see that Razer has the Orbweaver but again, not enough buttons. I've tried a Wolf Warrior but found the keys to be really horrible to press. I'd buy another Merc Stealth but on the second hand market they are stupid money. I guess there are other gamers like me who love them.
I'm happy to move to a separate device and then just get a normal keyboard but just can't find anything that meets my needs.

Any suggestions?
 
Yeah, not enough buttons.
I really want something with 10+ buttons for my fingers above WASD.
 
What about the Logitech series?
I think it was the G510 that had 18 extra keys to the side?
Can also program the Function keys (and indeed all the keys, IIRC), with three profiles to treble your range. Macros, scripts, or just basic commands.

That'd give you 30 keys x 3 profiles, so 90 in total without even encroaching on the main QWERTYs...
 
have you tried calling steelseries this what i did to get one when they stopped making them, it was my first keyboard if not best keyboard to get use to using it, I'd admit when i bought my mechanical as an upgrade from membrane the switch was hard but i have since gotten use to it but i will miss the merc
