It must be wired and the arrow keys nicely position for gaming with.

Can anyone recommend one?

I mostly use Logitech and Microsoft.

You still game with the arrow keys? Weird.

And given your needs, pretty much any non-wireless keyboard will work just fine.

Pretty much anything logitech is almost guaranteed quality, imo. You cant really go wrong with them.

You use WASD?

I find WASD awkward to use and much prefer the arrow keys = this is in games like Oblivion, Quake 4, The Witcher, UT3 and so on...

Whats wrong with the "wasd" keys? The only difference is that the forward key "W" is slightly off center. And then that way, your hands are more naturally spaced apart without having to move the keyboard or otherwise have some odd configuration.

The arrow keys are nice, but I prefer also being able to hit nearby keys that often have very important functions in games like "E", "R", "Q", "F", "Tab", etc. The arrow keys are way too isolated to be really useful in most modern games.

I think you should give it a try more often and then you'll get used to it:). It'll help you game better as 'RayvinAzn' says about the need for the other keys.

I Like my G11 for games, and it glows a pretty blue. If you dont like WASD, then mabye one of the little Keypads would serve you better, something like the Belikin n52? I got my Dad one for Christmas and he was a arrow key guy and He loves it.

thats why im prolly owning you in quake 4 ;)

looks do me a favor and plz try using WASD setup then put "Q" for next weopon and "shift" for walk (when you walk you can surprise an enemy)

if your a gamer WASD is the way to go

if you want try ESF as you will have more stretch to the numbers and "zxc"

oh and a good gaming keyboard is the saitek exlpise keyboard

but really i think any plain keyboard will do.

I find there rumblepad 2 a not so quality product.I cant believe that the analog sticks are square rather than round and i didnt notice it before buying it.
