I use a Refreshabraille mostly with my iPad Mini and at work via USB to a yucky windows box. The device is great and has nice crisp Braille output. Unfortunately, the programs to update firmware only come as windows executables. Besides, they haven't released any software updates since 2011 or 2012 or so. I used it a bit on my Mac Mini a while ago but eventually quit doing it because I didn't want to keep having to switch Bluetooth on and off to change the Braille display back and forth between Mac and iPad. I will have to say though, one day I was messing with output devices and managed to lose speech from VO. Thank God for my Braille display at the time; I was able to keep on going with Braille and correct the output device issue, get back speech and no sighted help was necessary.
