Gigi, What do you mean by the Function Alt key? If it's the one next to the space bar, that in no way would address the scrunching problem. :) Cheers, Donna > On Mar 24, 2015, at 5:31 PM, Eugenia Firth wrote: > > Hi there > There are some workarounds for that however. I just go the extra step

hello there I forgot to tell you something that you may want to consider when deciding on your braille display. The braille edge 40 can be updated using your Mac, and I don't know what other displays that is true of. This is a big deal. Gigi Sent from my iPhone > On Mar 24, 2015, at 5:31 PM, Eu

Hi there There are some workarounds for that however. I just go the extra step of using the function alt key and going to the menu. I have found that faster than scrunching up my hand. That is the workaround that I use. It works pretty well, and I've got very fast doing it Gigi Sent from my iPh

Hi, I find mine has really solid and good sharp dots, and have had it for 1.5 years. Maybe dot quality varies among devices, but I would recommend it very highly. Lisette ` > On 24/03/2015, at 9:19 am, Eugenia Firth wrote: > > Hi Chris > Be sure and get the executive case if you get the Braille

Hi Chris, I find the braille quality on the Edge to be very good. It's not as sharp as some, but sharp enough, I would say. As for durability, well it's as durable as any device made out of plastic is going to be. :) I don't have the Executive Products case, and I do find that I'm careful wit

Hi Chris Be sure and get the executive case if you get the Braille Edge because it needs it. If you get the case, then I think it is as durable as any is. You have to be careful with all of them. Those plastic things are pretty delicate. The manual has improved. It does not have a dot firmless

As a braille display, I cannot compare this to other brands. I have had mine almost 2 years. It does not get heavy use but I think its a wonderful piece of engineering. I would like sharper dots but that is personal preference at work. Once setup with the Mac, iPhone or iPad (and Win
