The raised dot on the number "5" key of metal keyboards is designed based on Braille principles to serve as a tactile orientation marker.
Explanation
Braille, also known as dot writing or raised type, is a tactile writing system designed specifically for blind and visually impaired individuals. It consists of various combinations of raised dots created on paper using slate and stylus, Braille writers, or Braille embossers. Each Braille cell typically comprises six dots arranged in two columns. The system was invented in 1824 by Louis Braille, a blind French educator, which is why it is universally referred to as "Braille." This historical accessibility standard is the reason why metal keypad keys feature this tactile indicator.
