Hi, In addition to Ester's excellent recommendations, there's a system extension called USB Overdrive that will allow you to set keyboard actions for USB key presses on controllers and mice. Although I don't know what the Braille devices appear as to the USB bus, it may be possible that USB Overdrive will recognize this and you could customize the arrow keys you mentioned. I have a nice CH Products Throttle Pro left over from flight simulator days that can handle a lot of VO navigation. Although, a simple cheap USB game pad would work as well.
USB Overdrive is free to try and available at versiontracker, or most any Mac download site. Best, Scott Hi Anouk, Although you use the VoiceOver keys (Control and Option) for navigation, you can lock these keys on with VO-semi-colon (Control-Option-Semi-colon). Then any commands you issue assume that the VoiceOver keys (Control and Option) are engaged until your press semi-colon again. Many people lock their VoiceOver keys while reading long pages. Another alternative is to use NumPad Commander (with Leopard). This is a functionality that uses the numeric keypad to pre-program shortcuts for the most common VoiceOver commands. You need to use either a full keyboard, an older Mac laptop with embedded numeric keypad, or a current Mac laptop with either attached numeric keypad or keyboard with numeric keypad in order to use NumPad Commander. Or, as I've just posted, you may be able to use the free NumberKey app on an iPhone to use your iPhone as a numeric keypad that works with NumPad Commander shortcuts. You can customize NumPad Commander with your own shortcut definitions as well as using their standard set. Hope this helps.

I use braille all the time and this would make it a lot slower for me to read stuff, or will maybe the arrow keys on my braille display be able to simulate this, i Wonder.
