Neben den normalen Tasten auf dem Stelltisch gibt es Außentasten (auch Gruppentasten genannt). Wegen der Möglichkeit der Vergrößerung sind diese Gruppentasten in der Simulation in ein festes Fenster aufgenommen. Jedoch bleibt die Bedienung gleich. Auch auf dem Nummernstellpult (sofern vorhanden) sind meist einige Gruppentasten angeordnet.

Die Gruppentasten werden für spezielle Bedienhandlungen benötigt. Dadurch kann Platz auf dem Stelltisch gespart werden, denn viele Tasten haben eine unterschiedliche Funktion, je nachdem, mit welcher Gruppentaste sie gemeinsam betätigt werden. Außerdem wird hierdurch das Konzept der Zweitastenbedienung konsequent umgesetzt: Das (versehentliche) Betätigen einer einzelnen Taste hat niemals Auswirkungen auf den Betrieb, da das potentiell immer gefährlich sein kann.

Die Tasten sind, je nach ihrer Funktion, in verschiedenfarbigen Blöcken angeordnet:
