They aren't any where near the small size of cell phone keys however.
I think you will have a really hard time making the keys smaller. The testing we have done at Trace for various phone projects, A T M machines and other products I can't mention has lead us to believe that you start leaving out vast segments of the older population plus a number of other people when you make the keys too small to use. As it is now, the keys are just about the dimensions of a standard telephone, plus or minus. Well, and what is a standard telephone these days anyway, so perhaps that is not a good example. But I would caution against making them any smaller than they are now.

What about keeping the keys the same size, but just moving them a touch closer together? My preference would be for much smaller keys much
closer together, but I agree this would be a problem to people without the
finger dexterity or precision.
