David/all,
If Lock Dots are haard to find, you could always ask someone sighted to mark
anything with tactimarks (Can’t vouch for the spelling).
It comes in liquid form which, when dry, can represent a dot. Have marked
loads of unusable things with it which are now easy to use.
All the best,
Richard

Subject: [access-uk] Are LocDots still available for computer keyboards?
Hi all,
I apologise to the moderators if this message is more appropriate for the BCAB
list as it relates to computer keyboards, but I thought I’d ask here first.
I Realise that RNIB no-longer supply LocDots for computer keyboards, but I am
wondering if Such dots are still produced and available through another
organisation.
My reason for the enquiry is that my wife has purchased a new Laptop and is
currently using standard bumpons in place of LocDots and although in some
ways this is not a problem, The current situation means that if I need to look
at one of the keys which has a bump on placed on it in order to remind my wife
of its function, I am unable to see the print on the key as it is covered by
the bump on. Therefore, if anyone can point me in the direction of a current
distributer of LocDots or something similar which allow the keys on a keyboard
to be marked with something see-through, I’d appreciate it.
Thank you in advance for your replies.
Alexander Shannon
