Why is there always that dot on number 5 in most cell phones? The same goes for computer keyboard. It has a raised dot on the letters 'F' and 'J' Who knows please? 6 Likes 2 Shares |

It's a touch locator. Notice there's a mark on the "F" and "J" on a QWERTY keyboard. They let you know where your fingers are on the keypad/keyboard. Especially useful on a telephone's keypad for those with sight issues. 20 Likes 5 Shares |

It's for those who touch type (Typing without looking at the keyboard). It helps touch typists to position their fingers properly on the keyboard when typing. 19 Likes |

Aikon: If you typed properly with your keyboard, you'd know why F and J have those dashes. Remember what the "home row" keys are? The left index finger goes on the F while the right one goes on the J. The dashes are for locating them without looking at the keyboard. 12 Likes 2 Shares |
