11.3.2.2.1-17 Home Row Locator

The home row keys (Row “C” in Figure 11.19) should contain at least one tactile feature to assist users in positioning their fingers on the keyboard.

Additional Information: Current industry practice is to use a small raised bar, a dimple, or some other shape on the key cap. A tactile indicator on the home row keys, typically the “F” and “J” keys in the alphanumeric area and the “5” key on the numeric keypad, provides a reference landmark for users to orient their hands and fingers on the keyboard.100
