Hi:
I have had both the querty and the braille keypads and
I am sold on the braille style keyboard. My brailling
skills are not that good, but it is more comfortable,
faster, and for me easier.
Of course it is a matter of personal choice and I was
quite happy with the querty keyboard - that was until
me and the BrailleNote took an unexpected plunge into
the Intercoastal Waterway!
Either one is excellent and will make your life easier.
I think that you will find your comfort zone with the
unit on your lap or on your side, allowing you to have
a less painful wrist positions.
Best of luck.

Subject: [Braillenote] Finger Positioning
I have the latest BrailleNote mPower with the Braille
keyboard. I know it
is supposed to be ergonomic, but it feels weird to me.
Should I be
positioning my fingers differently?
I tried my girl friend's with the QWERTY keyboard
yesterday, and that was a
real disaster, but sometimes, these things are hard to
validate; I was
sitting in a chair at her patio table which seemed a
bit high to me.
I am ultra sensitive to that since I had carpal tunnel;
even the surgery
didn't fix the problem I experience in my left shoulder
and down my back
starting right next to the end of my shoulder blade.
I am a proficient Braille typist--not the best but not
the worst, as well as
typing--I want to make a right decision while I still
can.
Many thanks,
