If keyboards had braille on them, we all could have subconsciously learned braille by now.
Would that actually work?
Google isn’t any scientific papers studying it, only mismatches or a handful of people assuming it’s doable, but I’m not sure if that’s because all the psychological researchers assume it’s doable or because nobody thought to study it, or if I’m not finding them.
I could easily imagine the human brain being set up such that this didn’t happen; anyone want to get a braille keyboard, try this out, and report the results?Learning via passive haptic associations works for learning morse code: [ https://m.phys.org/news/2016-10-morse-code.html#jCp ]
Sticker sets to change your normie keyboard into a braille one such as this one* cost 20$ if anyone would like to try this.

FWIW, the related-articles section of that Morse code link has an article about passively learning Braille (through vibrating gloves).
