Yes, I hadn't considered that just about every device I can think of has the enter key on the right, thanks. I like the braille keyboard actually, though as I mentioned it takes a bit of adjusting when going from one format to the other. Tessa

Also, what you want to remember, that many people use computer Braille, so that the Enter key is also a dot 8. That's also true on most notetakers. It's too bad, in a way, that you didn't know about the Qwerty keyboard coming out. I have not seen it. I'm not sure whether it's out yet or not, but know it will be this summer. Isn't confusion fun? Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfil the law of Christ. > ----- Original Message ----- >From: Tessa <[email protected] >To: [email protected] >Date sent: Sat, 27 Jun 2009 07:08:53 -0400 >Subject: [GWN] Keyboard questions >Hi all >I'm just curious why on a perkins brailleer the backspace is on the right, the return key on the left but the bs has them on opposite ends? It's a touch confusing when coming from using a brailleer to the bs to remember which is which. >Which also raises the issue of key numbering. We number the braille keys starting at the space bar so reading from the left hand side of the key board we have the backspace, then dots 3 2 and 1 but when we go to the function keys they are numbered the opposite way, don't you think this is needlessly confusing? why not have the function keys numbered the same way as the braille keys? >Or maybe others don't find this as confusing as I do periodically anyway. the manual will say fble: and fble. and I have to pause to think now just which keys are those anyway, LOL. Of course I've been using a qwerty keyboard for so long I must admit writing braille again is also a challenge, I find myself continuously hitting dot #: when I mean the letter a, go figure. >None the less I definitely like the bs and am glad I purchased it. >Tessa
