According to their specs it's a 5 volt 1.5 Amp power supply. They don't say anything about the shape of the plug and of course say not to use any other power supply. CB On 3/26/15 9:04 PM, Juan Hernandez wrote: Hi All, I have a stupid off topic question. Does anyone have an optelec alva

Re: alva?

why do you prefer the brilliant over the alva? I looked at the brilliant and while it seems sturdy, you can't do braille input on it. Interested to know your reasons… thanks, Cait On 2013-08-01, at 10:51 AM, Matt Dierckens matt.dierck...@gmail.com wrote: I like the Brailliant from Humanware

Re: alva?

Eric, This is funded through ADP. My only choices were/are the brilliant, the alva, and the freedom scientific focus products. I really wanted a braille edge, but no go. It might be problematic to go back to get this changed.. thanks for your input, though. I haven't cemented anything in stone

Re: alva?

If you want braille input, check out the Himbs Braille Edge. It’s $1000 cheaper, it has an SD card slot (so you can read your library books), plus other basic notetaker functions. I have the Alva, and its built-in text editor is stupid. For one thing, you’v got this 4GB flash drive that you

Re: alva?

thanks Buddy. I did want the braille edge, but ADP doesn't cover that one, unfortunately. It was either the brilliant, the focus ones, or the alva. The brilliant they showed me had no input keys and was very simple. lol, I hate humanware, so didn't want to go with the brilliant for that reason
