Any fool can use a computer. Many do. 
Hmm, I'd imagine the mouse would be used in both setups as you want to look around in the 3D world.. if you'd set the arrows keys, a few things would hinder the player: right-handed persons would have both of their hands on the right side of their keyboard/mouse/mousepad combi.. second, you'd have to bind the other keys as well like fire, talk, magic et cetera.. well, it might be that I'm used to WASD but it seems unhandy to bind them around the arrows. I'd say make it WASD for movement, mouse for looking, space for talk, LMB for attack, RMB or shift for magic and any random key like E, R or Enter for inventory..

In case of walking around and doing slow actions, you'd have the keys around and in case of battle, the player must be able to act quickly to (counter)attack/cast a spell.

Or in other words, can't you make it configurable?
