i am planning to buy a thumb keyboard, just for gaming.
be cause the one of the main 4 buttons on the ipaq is somehow not working well.

One thing to realize is that no thumboard that I know of has a directional pad. Some may have arrow keys laid out like a d-pad, but I doubt those will do diagonals.

If the "configuration" you're talking about deals with that, I doubt most games will have that kind of configuration. They likely expect you to have a d-pad.

You may be better off buying a dedicated gamepad. A :google: search for ipaq gamepad turned up some hits, including the BenQ Game Pad (http://www.benq.com/keyboard/input_g250.html) and the Zeta Joypad (http://www.beinteractive.co.kr/eng/products-p3.asp?prnum=3&prrnum=1).
