I may edit this later, but for now I'll just say that using the number pad on my laptop at home is kind of a pain. On a full sized keyboard with a separate number pad it would probably be a lot easier and more comfortable to get two hands on it. On the laptop number pad, built over the normal alphabet keys, it's not as simple.
Edit: I solved part of the trouble I was having -- the number pad keys only worked if I held down the Fn key. By going into the system (BIOS?) setup at reboot, I could change this so that the NumLk key would activate the number pad instead. (It used to serve no purpose at all so changing this option was good anyway.) Now I can use two hands on the number pad keys so I may give it a try for FFR games at some point and see if it's any better than trying to get two hands on the arrow keys.
