Users can choose between three different key formats depending on
their personal preference. The majority of keys available on this page have been
developed using Lucid Phoenix. The key to Nixonia is available in all
three formats. Although Lucid Phoenix keys are interactive keys they are still
dichotomous and a choice needs to be made at each key couplet to continue. Lucid
matrix keys, on the other hand, use a different approach where relevant states
from multiple character features can be selected independently until
identification is achieved. For more information concerning Lucid keys visit
