A tactile input device attachment for a keyboard key, comprising:
- a base portion having a surface feature that is configured to overlay a keypress region of the keyboard key and secure to the keyboard key;
- and
- a vertical structure extending from the base portion to an input key top surface, wherein a width of the base portion is greater than a width of the vertical structure.
A method of modifying tactile input of a keyboard, comprising:
- positioning a first base portion of a first tactile input device attachment on a first keyboard key of the keyboard, wherein the first tactile input device attachment includes:
- the first base portion having a first surface feature that is configured to overlay a first keypress region of the first keyboard key and secure to the first keyboard key, and
- a first vertical structure extending from the first base portion to a first input key top surface;
- and
- positioning a second base portion of a second tactile input device attachment on a second keyboard key of the keyboard, wherein the second tactile input device attachment includes:
- the second base portion having a second surface feature that is configured to overlay a second keypress region of the second keyboard key and secure to the second keyboard key, wherein a width of the second base portion is different from a width of the first base portion, and
- a second vertical structure extending from the second base portion to a second input key top surface.
