Arrow keys are the menu, windows, control and shift key on the right side of the board. Works just fine

Poker is highly recommended. Look in the classifieds or google it to find a Poker

60% keyboards operate due to math. When you have a 100%, and then you subtract 4 arrow keys, you get 40% off.

Or just use them in an environment where arrow keys are not necessary.

Or get a 60% that has arrow keys. There are a couple choices right now. The layout is a little different, so it depends on what you are looking for.
