I don't think so. Buy a gamepad. I kinda prefer that over a keyboard anyway.

Re: can't move...
erm, dont all laptops have a numpad? i havent found one that doesnt so thats really weird when people say theirs doesnt have one.

are you sure the numpad isnt there? normaly the numpad needs to be turned on before you can use it

You have a number pad, you just have to press a 'fn' key to get it. That will let you hit the '-' key to change your settings.

Or hit Ctl and - (beside the 0) and the menu will pop up.

Thats what i mean.

Here's a laptop keyboard picture, notice keys 7, 8, 9, U, I, O, J, K, L, M, < and >.

Those keys have little numbers drawn on the bottom of the key in question. That's the numpad. Find out how to activate it. Mine, i just press and hold Fn and that alone activates the numpad.

why buy a 40-50$ X-box360 controller, when a normal PS2 looking USB controller works just as good for half the price -.-

Re: can't move...
Yes there is a option to change your kb from full to compact. When it is in compact mode, you use keys 'wasd' to move.

Look under menu > config > misc (? i cant recall right now but its one of those)

There will be a place for you to switch from full to compact.
