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.

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

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.
