Orientation button

Keypad of an ATM with a feeler point on the number 5 key and similar markings on some function keys

Orientation keys are keys on keyboards , for example on computers, telephones or ATMs , which are intended to assist the blind with input.

The two keys and orientation keys are often found on the computer keyboard or a typewriter to support typing in the ten-finger system. They serve as a starting point for the index fingers of the right and left hand, so that you can easily find your way back to these keys without looking with your fingers. In the case of the numeric keypad, the key with the number is provided with a feeler point. FJ5
