These three extra keys can be assigned macros or the practical timer function, which can't be found on any other keyboard on the planet. In contrast to other keyboards, it only has a tiny desktop footprint. As a result, neither the mousepad nor mouse will get in your way - plus optimum use is made of the gaming zone.
The Arvo is perfect even for arrow key gamers, who prefer to position their keyboards diagonally to the monitor and mousepad, as it doesn't collide with the monitor or hang over the edge of the desk. The store will not work correctly in the case when cookies are disabled.

The keys also feel great when pressed, and it's held up superbly to my 2 years of torture. I've never had any problems with it. Great product, and I'd like to see an LED version in the future. Pros: I have had this for many years, since before they were available directly in the US--ordered it from England.
I don't do much gaming, but it has held up well for normal use and with free games online. The keys pop off fairly easily for when you really need to do a thorough cleaning once a decade whether it needs it or not ;- or when they start to stick from accumulated crud. Small form factor fits on top of a 14" ID drawer. Cons: Boring. Like an LED bulb, it lasts so long you want to get something new just to make life interesting. Could use a few more programmable keys.
Perhaps make some of the F keys programmable or a second button like the [MODE] switch to activate alternate keys on the number pad. Pros: - For a compact keyboard the layout is not bad - Shortcut keys are well placed and easy to customize - software is quick and responsive.
Cons: - Horrible ghosting. Can't press three common keys at once - I thought I could handle a compact keyboard but the transition was too rough. Pros: Metal housing with a nice finish. The small form factor integrating the arrow keys into num pad is great and gives a nice portable feel to the keyboard.
Cons: I dropped an egg more becasue I was expecting a little more from the key press feel. It feels akin to an old commodore 64 keyboard ok not that bad but the keys are those loose standard ones that kind of wiggle when you type so it sounds loose. Overall Review: In hindsight, while gaming by monitor light Pros: Compact size and great looks. It can be hard to find a good quality keyboard that doesn't take up my hole desk.
Cons: Having to use the mode button for arrow keys vs numpad can be a little odd, but I knew that before I bought it. Overall Review: Small and easy to carry to lan parties, but I'm kinda picky about how "loud" my keyboards are. This is not nearly as loud as mechanical keyboards can be, but I do prefer something more quiet. Overall I like it very much. Cons: It doesn't correct spelling mistakes before I make them.
The software crashes in Windows 8 when trying to save profile settings. Overall Review: I usually don't review keyboards at all unless they're just utter garbage.
This is far from the case with the Roccat Arvo. I've found using this keyboard to be extremely enjoyable to use. It's quite comfortable as well. The small size makes it very easy to fit on pretty well any keyboard tray without issue.
The software however, does leave a bit to be desired You get 5 macros keys, 2 of which are controlled by the "Mode" switch. The Valo keyboard was overpriced and refused to work pre-OS and the Kone mouse stuck its head in the sand and refused to acknowledge the existence of Windows 7 despite its claims to the contrary. The Arvo is a compact keyboard designed to take up the minimum space on your desktop without sacrificing any functionality.
The function keys are recessed into the top of the board too, reducing their footprint while still making them accessible. This is still a gaming keyboard though and as such has three programmable buttons beneath the space bar. They require a definite press though, so mis-strikes are kept to a minimum. The keys are perfectly positioned for your thumb when your left hand's resting in the traditional gamer's WSAD claw.
