  • In the diagram below, bold edges on the keys represent the ridges of the Tactus Keyboard. Note that the ridges form two boxes one for the left hand (formed by the keys Q R V Z) and one for the right hand (formed by the keys U P / M).
  • The fingers and the keys are colour coded to show which finger handles which key.
  • The fingers always rest on the HOME keys, these are the keys shown at the tip of each finger. The thumbs are used for the space bar.
  • Each finger, with the exception of the index finger, handles three alphabetical keys: its HOME key, the key above it and the key below it. For instance, the left ring finger handles its home key S, the key W (above the home key) and the key X (below the home key). Therefore the finger alway moves in between three keys, the home key, one key up from the home key and one key down.
  • The index finger handles its home key, the key above it and the key below V. In addition, the index finger handles the keys bordering the "wall" of the box. For instance, the left index handles its home key (F), the key above it (R), the key below it (V) and the keys bordering the ridges, T G and B.
