@RareBird_15 @main I use an external wireless keyboard like the Logitech K380 or MXKeys mini. It can fit on top of the braille display using either one of those raised monitor tables or having the display on a keyboard tray and the keyboard on the table. The point is that you don’t have to lean forward, which I could never get used to, you just move your hands up and down to write/read. This is, of course, if you don’t have a display with an entry method you like, I like QWERTY so prefer to use a keyboard separate from the display. If you are happy to do your keyboard entry and commands with the braille keyboard, you don’t have this issue, you can enter from the display if it has a keyboard or try to use one of the Bluetooth braille keyboards depending on your software setup.
@RareBird15 @main Thanks for raising this, I think it’s going to be an interesting thread. Here are a few of my favourites. I don’t use all of these every day, of course, but they’re some of what I make sure I install whenever I settle in on a computer. Links provided when not obvious. Also, these aren’t all perfect, whether in accessibility or anything else, they’re just the ones I use and like.
