It can be; depends on your braille skills. I've been typing on a traditional keyboard since I was 8, so that's why I know my hands wouldn't work on the actual mac keyboard the wahy that's been described. They've had 30 years of knowing that the square keys get pressed one at a time. LOL! But on a dedicated braille keyboard, especially if it enabled you to type in grade two braille, then yes, in theory, you could type lots faster. It's a neat idea, but it definitely needs to be a separate device.

Hi, couldn't such a keyboard be connected via bluetooth as well. This would remove the need of a USB port. But in general, as a non braille user, what would this accomplish? Is typing on a braille keyboard generally faster than a regular keyboard?

Two in my opinion is bad enough. I don't see why on the white models they didn't give us a few more. I can't speak for the eluminum pro models. I only've seen them maybe once or twice at an Apple store, so I don't totally remember how they looked. > > Chris. > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "MacVisionaries" group. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > [email protected]. > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/macvisionaries?hl=en. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
