The braille connect has the braille input keyboard on it. They are awesome displays, and the thickness is probably really a bit over ½ inch at the thickest spot.

The Brailliant I have does not have a keyboard. I cannot recall the exact model number of the unit I have in the office, so whatever you get, if you want to have a Braille keyboard as well, be sure to select the correct model. I won't be able to check which model I have since I will not be back in the office until January. The displays are actually made by Baum, so they will be quite good.

I would guess it is about the width of a keyboard with number pad. I don't have it here, so my measurements may be off some. THe left side has a USB port and the power button is on the top in the rear left corner. There are three keys stacked vertically on either end and those are your pan keys and so forth. THe router keys are above the cells. The unit is made of a metallic material-the same material cameras are made of. Hope that gives you some idea. It is portable and does have very good battery life. Oh and it does have bluetooth as well. On Dec 8, 2011, at 6:59 PM, Matt Dierckens wrote: Awesome. THanks scott. what are they like? I've never actually owned one before, but heard that they are nice.

I was wondering if anyone has this braille display and if it works with lion? I am hoping to get this unit soon for college.
