I’m a mid fifties, totally blind girl, a bit of a square peg, gently conservative, yet free thinking individual who does not get offended easily.
@RareBird_15 @mastoblind @main I personally don’t like typing on a perkins style keyboard unless it’s a regular Perkins Braillewriter, although, the #NLSEReader is doable. Not sure if the Braillient 40 has the same keyboard or not. If it was up to me, since I type faster on a qwerty keyboard, I’d have a Mantis.
@RareBird_15 @mastoblind @main Okay, what is this mastoblind group all about? I keep seeing it boosting my messages to you. How does that work?
@RareBird_15 @mastoblind @main Well, I’m more of a fan of desktops than I am of laptops. So, I would agree with you there, but yes. My question is, is Braillient 40 long enough to where you can rest a qwerty keyboard on top of it?
@RareBird_15 @mastoblind @main and you’d store your braille display on this keyboard shelf thingie that pulls out. Not sure what to call it.
@RareBird_15 @mastoblind @main I’m not sure where this desk I have came from, but it’s a computer desk with virticle and horozontal cubby wholes along the back and kind of a drawer along one side. But there’s a place where you can dit and have plenty of room for your legs, and above the lap, under the desk, there’s a flat board that slides in and out, that has wheels along the sides. Anyway, I use that board for a keyboard, but I’m thinking such a desk would work for operating a laptop.
@RareBird_15 @mastoblind @main I"m thinking, what might be a benefit to you is some kind of desk with a shelf underneath for the braille display., like a pull out shelf.
@RareBird_15 @mastoblind @main What braille display are you using? Doesn’t your Braille display have at least a perkins keyboard?
@RareBird_15 @mastoblind @main I too would like to know this.
