'''Screen-labeled function keys''' are a special case of [[soft key]] ([[function keyskey]]s) where keys are placed near a screen, which provides labels for them. These are most commonly found in kiosk applications, such as [[automated teller machine]]s and [[gas pump]]s. These date to the late 1960s, and were particularly common in the 1980s and 1990s. An alternative to screen-labeled function keys is buttons (virtual keys) on a [[touchscreen]], where the label is directly pushable. The increased prevalence of touchscreens in the 2000s has led to a decrease in screen-labeled function keys. However, screen-labeled function keys are inexpensive and robust, and provide tactile feedback.
