When I taught computers to blind adults, we'd get tiny velcro dots and put them on F, J, insert, Tab and F4. When I started using an ergonomic keyboard for the PC, I added some on F7 and the 5 and 0 keys, since the keyboard is set up a little differently. I've never seen a QT in the braille note family, but I imagine this would probably work, and they are very inexpensive.

Hi, Tessa: I may not remember, since I don't have my VoiceNote, but I was thinking there was a dot on the function key, the number three, number seven, the zero, the F, and J. I can't remember if there were others. I know you can buy those neat little dots, and put them where you want them. I suspect the reason they don't put many on is because people have a preference as to where they like them.
