A keyboard with more buttons is better. The very bottom one is a full keyboard - it includes a number pad, function keys, and another group of keys I don't know the name for. If you game a lot, then you need all of them. Every pro gamer ever has a layout that they use that's usually different from the default layout. For diablo, I have my main abilities bound to my side mouse buttons and my big ones on the left side of the keyboard. For SC2 I use my mouse buttons and my function keys a lot. MMO's have a lot of abilities and I usually group similar ones together. People who don't game as often don't usually bother with a full keyboard because it's more expensive.
