The Saitek GK200 may look like a normal keyboard, but it is geared toward gamers, who are on a budget and would like a normal sized input device. The gaming keys are a great feature while the Audio and USB 2.0 connector round up for a well balanced gaming keyboard - all for the price of a normal one.

Wow, perfect keyboard for me, as I FPS and drive with arrow keys as well. Have been waiting for the Sharkoon variant to be reviewed or to come in sale, but it only has rubber WASD-keys. Will buy at once if I can find it here. Thanks for the great review!

edit: no where to be found yet in Finland :(
