The bump may be ok for new keyboards you didn't try before but quickly become irrelevant after a few days. You know where the keys are then.

I disagree.

The bump on the j-key on the keyboard, and the 5-key on the numpad is very much clear to high-speed typing.

On keyboards without bumps, I find myself off-aligned. Instead of typing "jumping jellyfish", I type "hynoubg hekktfusg", and have to realign my hands.

Could I do it without the bump? Probably. But having the bump there (both the j-bump and the 5 bump) is very useful at preventing this mistake.
