The only time it was an issue for me was walking through violent rapids on a slippery flat rock. not very many at all. You will have access to the arrow keys, the f1 to f12 keys and the other 9 keys that no one ever uses (insert, delete, page-up, page-down, home, etc). They slip on and off so easily and its nice to have the non- croc variety. I wear them almost daily but I only wear them around the house. People are complaining that they did not get AC5 and rating this game poorly. However, the headphone stopped working after 3 weeks. They fit right around my neck inside my jacket and my wife could barely notice them. I also found them very comfortable and the remote worked well. which was the longest running storyline for the series.
