PDF-style approach with up/down arrows

The up/down arrows helps the mouse-only users as well as the keyboard users.
 

Dynamic pages display

Often with pagers with a spectrum of page numbers, it's difficult to jump to pages in the middle. We wanted to give users even access to the "middle pages" as well as the pages in the beginning and at the end. In this design, the page numbers for the 5 pages around the current page are displayed, then the numbers would increase by 5, 10, or 20 depending on how many pages there are in total. Here's an example where the table has 732 items in total.
