Hi. Actually, the new Brailliant that came out this year has a Braille input keyboard. It's actually one of the new features. I'm not sure though it it's Mac compatible yet. If it's not, it should soon be. Apple is usually quick at rolling out an update for displays if they get proper support from the manufacturers.
