What keyboards have reprogrammable thumb buttons?

I'm trying to find a cheap keyboard, all I really want is thumb buttons below the space bar. I managed to get a really cheap logitech G400 ($5 on ebay) and it was definitely worth it for the thumb buttons, and I thought I may aswell give my keyboard-hand thumb something to do.

There are only 2 keyboards that I could find that have reprogrammable thumb buttons, the Razer Anansi http://www.razerzone.com/au-en/gaming-keyboards-keypads/razer-anansi/

and the Roccat isku http://www.roccat.org/Products/Gaming-Keyboards/ROCCAT-Isku/

I don't mind paying the $90 or so for the Isku, but I would prefer something a bit simpler.

I don't care if its a mechanical keyboard or not, unless there is a major difference in durability.

I would normally only ask for opinions once I know the full range of products that have what I want, but I can't find any other keyboards with thumb buttons.

For lefty controls; use this...

You are much better off consider getting a mechanical keyboard if you considered buying a whole new keyboard. You can just use a cheap membrene keyboard and a keypad like the Razer tartarus or Logitech G13.

I don't think you understood what I meant, I am not looking for one of the compact gaming keyboards, just a normal one that has buttons below the space bar.

I just noticed that a few of the other ROCCAT keyboards also have buttons below the spacebar
