Isaac, I get it, and thanks for clarifying. For what it's worth, I feel the exact same way about writing in Braille. That's why I got a QT BrailleNote. The thing is, I don't know if the external keyboard would map exactly to the BNQT keyboard. There may be some commands that work differently than they would on a unit with a built-in QT keyboard, but I'm not the one to ask, since I've never laid hands on one of these external keyboards.

She is not the one who wants to change keyboards. I am the one who wants to hook a qwerty keyboard to my PK so that I may have a qt and a bt machine in one. this way I get to type commands rather than braille them. I honestly hate brailling commands or writing in braille. I find it awkward and cumbersome. One of the selling points for the PK for me was the ability to use a qwerty keyboard. If it didn't have this feature, I don't buy! that was very, very important. so I was asking if anyone thought I could have the best of both worlds by connecting the qwerty keyboard to the PK! In other words, would I then be able to use QT commands instead of BT commands?????????????????????? That's what I'd really like to do!
