What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · April 26, 2026
These are small, clear adhesive stickers with tactile raised markings — a single dot, double dot, or dash pattern — that you press onto buttons, dials, switches, or appliance controls to identify them by touch. They're designed for someone with low vision or blindness who needs to distinguish between similar-looking controls without relying on printed labels. Each package includes 12 stickers across three marking styles, and they work as a standalone solution right out of the box — no tools or professional involvement needed. The stickers are small (under half an inch) and clear, so they're discreet, but the raised markings are subtle enough that they may take some practice to feel reliably, especially for users with reduced finger sensitivity.

What Setup Looks Like
- Out of the box
- Peel each sticker and press firmly onto the control you want to mark — stove knobs, microwave buttons, thermostat dials, etc.
- Assign a consistent meaning to each marking (e.g., dash = off, single dot = medium, double dot = high) and memorize or write down the system.
