## Notes

- There are four rectangular thumb keys on the front. From left to right: The outer (shorter) ones are named ThumbUp and ThumbDown. The inner (longer) ones are named ThumbLeft and ThumbRight. Some models have a round key in the middle - it's the internal menu key.
- There's an eight-key braille keyboard near the back of the top. From left to right, its keys are: Dot7, Dot3, Dot2, Dot1, Dot4, Dot5, Dot6, Dot8.
- There's a five-way joystick between the Dot1 and Dot4 keys. The four directions are intuitively named: Up, Down, Left, Right. Pressing the joystick is named: Action.
- RoutingKey refers to any of the keys immediately behind the braille cells.
