I'm looking for a keyboard that has a gamepad on the left side of the keyboard, like on the steelseries merc.

Anyone got any suggestions? If it's mechanical, I would prefer a Cherry MX Brown switch. It's OK if it's membrane though, as long as it's good quality. Preferrably red backlighting too. :)

That keyboard is.... Looks like Vtech Baby or Leap Frog toys. 

 

I was against traditional keyboard gaming at first and wanted a nostromo, but got use to it. I used a Corsair K60 with the red replacement gaming keys for about 2 months. Then I put the regular keys back in. Got use to it.

This is the best possible option, for what you ask, almost all the time all-in-one products dont work as well as a standalone.

I would always suggest mechanical boards. In this case, there is probably none, so i would buy this:
If you have the money: mechanical keyboard + orbweaver

If you don't have much money: 1. mechanical keyboard + tartarus/nostromo. 2. Rubber dome(eww) + orbweaver 

If you have less money: Rubber dome(eww) + Nostrome/tartarus.

Are you familiar with the style that lets you remove the 10 Key pad and put it on the left?  Like this http://www.amazon.com/Azio-Levetron-Gaming-Keyboard-KB588U/dp/B0060G2W5O is that an option?

 

The only other one I know of is the Wolfking Timberwolf, it is the design you want, but does not appear to be made anymore.  For what it is worth I have the stand alone gamepad version (Wolfking Warrior) and I love it.  So if you are willing to consider used, it could make you very happy.
