I had a k760, but the keyboard was dropped once and the solar panels broke, so no more k760 for me now, but the keys2go from Logitech is really good too.

I can text using the screen keyboard and do at times, but I am very slow so it is quite tedius. I have a Logitec K760 that does not use batteries, it uses a solar panel and that is extremely nice. I have a Braille Edge 40 and do love that. I did a dumb thing though. 1 time out of 100, when I had an open bottle of soda near the Edge, it got knocked over and, yep, so I am paying dearly for that 2 seconds of carelessness! Boy oh boy!

I definitely use a keyboard. Then again, I have a Logitech k-810 keyboard, which is paired to my laptop, phone, and tablet. It definitely comes in handy. I tend to write long emails, and if I have to do it on my phone, I'd definitely have to use the physical keyboard. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Arnold Schmidt Sent: Tuesday, February 16, 2016 4:05 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Why do we want to use a physical keyboard? For purposes of full disclosure, I have an Amazon Basics Bluetooth keyboard that I bought not long after I got my iPhone 5 in 2012. Since getting MBraille, I don't think I have used it at all, I know I haven't used it with my iPhone 6, which I got in April, 2015. Thankfully, I remembered to take the batteries out of my keyboard before they corroded and ruined my keyboard. That having been written, I am still glad I have it even though I almost never use it now. If I were taking notes in a classroom or meeting situation, my keyboard is what I would want to use. Also, if I were going to use Access Note, or Pages, or Microsoft Office on my iPhone, MBraille just wouldn't "cut it", as it were. I can use the on screen keyboard, but am very slow at it. For every day use, if I am going to type more than a few words, it is MBraille for me, mainly because of its basic word processing features.

Hi, This is *not* critizism even though it might seem so. I merely want to test my opinion in a matter where i more or less have been accused of being wrong. You see, i want those i tell and sometimes teach about the iDevices to know their device thoroughly so that they don’t get stuck somewhere if things happen and so that they themselves can make an informed choice about for example what input method to use and so i have said that if you want an iPhone you’ll have to learn and know about the virtual keyboard before you get to decide if you want to use it or not. I for example am not using a physical bluetooth keyboard although i have a little cute one sitting around here. Now i’m exclusively using Fleksy for my typing needs, and sometimes when i’m in a hurry to make a calendar appointment for example i use Siri and then go in and edit the calendar entry afterwards but before i used Fleksy i used the stock iOs keyboard. I have chosen to do this because i don’t want to carry many gadgets with me all the time, but those are my choices, so please tell me what in my opinion is wrong because i am apparently so dence i can’t understand it. What in my reasoning is flawed? /Krister -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
