Sherry, I think your husband is on the right track. You can easily control how much Epoxy is applied, and it tends to stay put better then adhesive dots. It also dries hard so it isn't sticky to the touch over time like some tactile products. Be sure to clean the surface of the button with alcohol so that any oil from fingers is removed. Of course being careful not to get any alcohol on the rest of the phone.

I neglected to say in my original email that I had considered attaching a dot to the 5 key but was afraid it would interfere with the proper closing of the phone. I have a Braille labeler and tried a dot made with that and it seemed too tall. I wil try and buy some of those dots mentioned in other responses. My husband thinks a dot of apoxy may work so I may go that route. I am still curious if all LGX5300s have the unusable dot or not. Lastly, I found much to my surprise that the sighted people to whom I mentioned this had no idea that there was a dot on the 5 key of any phone!
