Hi!
So the mantis works with Mac?
I am about to get a new display and I would like to have the mantis as it has a
keyboard.
Bless.

That’s really too bad about the Orbit. But I guess you get what you pay for.
*sigh*. It would really be nice if people didn’t have to break the bank to get
a braille display.

Regarding VarioUltra, no they've not incorporated wi-fi. If you look for a
USB-C cable, I seem to remember they will tell you if it's for charging
only.
About the Orbit Reeder: I actually did purchase one, but when I got it
I,too, realized just how noisy and slow the Braille cells are when

Yes, it is. That was a big reason for my looking into the Activator. I still
might end up buying one, just because there’s no other viable Braille display
qwerty combo. I currently have an old Focus44 hooked up to my PC desktop, but
as you can probably imagine, the dots are getting harder

Hi all,
I am still on a quest to find a braille display with a qwerty keyboard, and I
just saw that Orbit is about to release a forty cell display
Thanks, Jason. I just read Scott Davert’s review from 2021, and he did mention
that. I’d love to get a demo, just to evaluate the braille cells before I make
a purchase decision. But I sure do like the price tag a lot better than the
one for the Activator, which is the only other qwerty

Orbit has just announced a display with a qwerty keyboard that will start
shipping in June.
I had a Mantis, but sold it. I loved the unit, but had trouble using the thumb
keys due to arthritis in my thumbs.

Hi all,
I am still on a quest to find a braille display with a qwerty keyboard, and I
just saw that Orbit is about to release a forty cell display with a qwerty
keyboard. I’d love to hear about people’s experience with the Orbit reader. I
realize it won’t be the new display, but I do
