I have HumanWare's Brilliant.

Really like the thumb keys on the unit.

Don't care much for the Focus range from FS.

Also the braille feels great with the HumanWare products.

I think the part of it for VR is that the Focus displays are among the few left that don't have onboard memory or note taking capabilities, which is an important thing when wanting to use one at work. The Focus 40 Blue is a great choice though for a braille display, but I wish there could be local repair or some loaner program vailable for when you depend on it for work to get around querky controls that won't activate with anything else but a cursor routing button.

    I really like FS’s Focus 14 Blue, but I don’t like note-takers so
    it suits me perfectly. I hate my old PACMate 20.
    I’ve also used a Focus 40 Blue which I also liked. I prefer these
    to my Handitech Braillino which only works with my Mac and refuses
    to pair with my iPhone.

    Cheers,

    Anne

    What's wrong with Humanware/fs's Braille displays?  I've never
    seen them so can't give an opinion.

    Hi Chris,

    It's incredibly nice to see that Apple is doing this at all.
    However it looks like the only braille displays they carry our
    humanware. In my view, that's a serious limitation, humanware
    and freedom scientific being the least interesting braille
    displays on the market.  No offense to you humanware fans. I
    just think it's too bad that they're not carrying Hims products
    or Baum products. cheers,
    Donna

    Maybe I missed this in another thread but you can now buy
    braille displays, switch interfaces and eye gaze trackers from
    the Apple store:

    Selection is kinda thin at the moment but I'm sure they will
    keep adding stuff over time.
