Braille Pen is nowhere near as good when using with jaws. The connectivity is Bluetooth only as well.
It doesn't feel anywhere near as well put together as the focus.

The Focus14 Blue will be able to use Power123, due out any day now, which Jonathan Mosen spoke about in the latest (May 2014) FSCast. it will thus be enabled to operate on the computer and iPhone at the same time, i.e., without having to be unplugged from the PC's USB port. (I think you press the on/off button on the side on the display to toggle whether you want the Bluetooth operation or the USB operation when you want to change between devices.) It has Advance bars, router row of buttons, WhizWheels, panning buttons, shift and selector buttons, and of course the six-dot or the eight-dot Braille entry keyboard for use with both JAWS and iOS. . it works seamlessly with both. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Stephan, William S NWK" <william.s.step...@usace.army.mil> To: <jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com> Sent: Friday, June 13, 2014 10:41 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Braille display?
