I have never used them, but what is wrong with the full-sized left and right arrow keys?

It's much harder to blindly tell where in the arrow key cluster your finger has landed without the blank spaces of the inverted T layout.

I do not understand this at all as the break in between the up/down arrow keys is far more apparent to touch than even the bump on the F key that's supposed to allow you to blindly return to the home keys. If that little bump works, how can a full break not be working for you?

A full-height arrow key is almost identical to the key next to it.

They're hard to locate by touch. Seems counter-intuitive, maybe, but I'm sure I won't be alone in attesting from experience that it does make a difference.
