Gaming Laptop with full sized Arrow Keys and PgUp/PgDn Layout?
[Pictures of layout in the post!]
Hi everyone,
I’m looking for recommendations for a gaming laptop with a very specific keyboard layout.
I’m left-handed and use the arrow keys for gaming, so the keyboard layout matters a lot to me. I am specifically looking for a laptop, other than a ThinkPad which is not really a gaming laptop, that has a dedicated, offset arrow-key cluster with full-size arrow keys, plus Page Up and Page Down positioned around the top arrow key area.
My requirements are:
- Full sized arrow keys with Page Up and Page Down around the top arrow key (IMPORTANT!)
- 16-inch or larger display
- Dedicated numpad
- Gaming-capable hardware
I travel frequently, so using an external keyboard is not really an option. The built-in keyboard layout is important for my needs.
Does anyone know of current or recent gaming laptops that still use this kind of keyboard layout?
For reference, laptops I previously owned that both had layouts that suited my needs were:
- Alienware 17 R2 (bought in 2011)
- Dell G7 17 7700 (bought in 2021, which I am currently using).
