Neat but no good place for arrow keys.

Typically with split keyboards like this, you'd put the arrow keys on home row (or ijkl or esdf etc.), and access the arrow keys by holding a Fn key.

On a traditional keyboard, you can't access the arrow keys with your hands rested on home row. You have to move your hands to reach those keys.

Holding a Fn key brings more of the keyboard's functionality to within easy reach of the hands, at the cost that the keyboard is somewhat more complicated to use.

Good summary. I wouldn't buy one without obvious arrow keys however.
