Hmm I use 8 forward, 5 back, 4 and 6 for respective directions.

so... in a FPS.... you don't use the mouse? or do you move the keyboard all the way to the left side then?

My room mate just picked up a mini keyboard, he likes the laptop look/ feel too. I can't stand it, I need my numpad. I consider myself a skilled typist, but if forced to use the row of numbers I'll have to look, though oddly enough I don't seem to have to look when I use the puncuation marks above the numbers. Besides, I love my Logitech MX duo.

What they need to do is to place the numpad on the left -- I hate having it on the right because it makes my keyboard feel "un-centered" with the mouse on the right.
