The black [Shift] key toggles between upper and lower case mode and selects special characters on the numeric keypad.

There are ten white numeric keys and one white period key. These keys are larger than the less used alpha keys to enable easy inputting of numbers with the right or left thumb.

Thirty-three grey keys represent letters, special functions, Space and Menu keys. The [Alt], [Ctl], [Ins], [? ¦ ] (backspace) and [Esc] keys are also grey keys near the bottom of the keyboard.
