Cipher Keyboard is one of the worlds accessible from The Nexus.
Features
The Cipher Keyboard is a dark, looping map consisting of a titanic QWERTY keyboard, where the keys are labeled in cyan on the south facing wall with the alphabet from one of the Library's books, corresponding to the letters on the keys. The teleport object that takes you back to the Nexus is located in the space between the N, M and J keys. Just below the M key is a humanoid figure that takes you to Dream Bank, and the space below the E key has a floating, bloody object that will take you to the Despair Road when interacted with. Between the 9 and 0 keys is a space shuttle that leads to the Spaceship when interacted with. If you have obtained the Child and Stretch effects, left of the Enter key is a book that unlocks Menu Theme #24 when read. Between the characters of the Up button is a passage to the Workshop (工房, Kōbō), a small area populated by a mechanic and a fat man who is twice as tall as Urotsuki. At present, the rest of the area's upper platform is blocked off with a construction sign.
Some of the keys are labeled with characters that fall outside the Matoran Alphabet, however: The Windows key is replaced by the window on Madotsuki's shirt, and the grave accent key is replaced by the hiragana character あ. In addition, many of the punctuation mark keys are labeled with symbols that resemble Matoran Alphabet letters, but are not found anywhere on the actual alphabet. Finding these keys can serve as a good way to reorient yourself if you get lost.
Blue buttons can be found on the walls of the V, O, I, and D keys. Interacting with them in the correct order will unlock a doorway to The Void. (This only needs to be done once.)

Trivia
- The keyboard's text used to be the Matoran Alphabet prior to 0.116i patch 6, where it was temporarily erased due to potential copyright disputes. A succeeding patch changed it to the cipher from the Library.
- The object in the Nexus you interact with to reach the area resembles the Mata Nui Stone.
- Before 0.113h, this world connected to the Wastewater Treatment Plant by interacting with the flying bird.
- Before 0.114f, this world connected to the Rainbow Tiles Maze.
