There's more than one way to accomplish tactile feedback ;-).

An enhancement to assist might be to also vibrate the F & H keys so you could get your index fingers properly positioned (which should help align all other fingers).

The idea would be to vibrate the keys which the computer thought your fingers were properly centered upon. I'd think this would be one way to offer tactile feedback without damaging the surface through repetitive mechanical action.
