Hi Andrew, The q is made by Hims.

who makes the Q? I hope that there is a convention around Boston so I
can put my hands on one of these 40 cell products. I get worried that if I
don’t feel the braille, the device in general and the features that I will
order the wrong display. Awhile back, I was suggested that the braille edge
was the way to go... The only 2 Braille Displays I ever had a chance to work
with.(not much experience) is the orbit 20 and the one that I can’t think of
the name but, the company went belly up. I appreciate all who are patient with
me as I just don’t have the money to waste but could use a 40 cell display with
full note taking features. Andy and Shubert

Mary, No, the Braille Edge cannot function like an external drive. It is an
older device, and had I known about the Q Braille coming out, I would have
waited longer to ask my work to get me the Braille Edge. I was replacing an old
Braille Sense OnHand. So, 6 or 8 months ago, I got the braille edge, since the
features were all I needed in my job.
Oh well.
I'd wait for the q if it were me.
I suspect you could get a demonstration of it once it is out since one of the
distributers I think is in Corvallis. I'll double check.

Hi Mary:
Although I read about both, I've only used and demonstrated the Focus 14
and 40 4th and 5th generation Braille displays. Personally, the Braille Edge
is an older product to the Focus 5th generation displays. I would either get
the Focus 5th or the q Braille. Some differences between the 2 include:
Storage:
Focus, micro SD, QBraille, standard SD
Connected devices that you can switch among them:
Focus, 5 bluetooth and 1 USB, Q Braille, 6 bluetooth and 1 USB
keyboard layout:
this depends on what you want. Focus requires you to press more of a
combination of keys while the QBraille XL includes separate arrow, function,
and window keys like alt, control, Insert, Etc.
Price:
Last time I read, $300 less for Focus 40.
Here are some links that you might find helpful:

The second link will provide more information on the layout of the devices.

Subject: Braille edge or focus 40 latest generation with Mac and iPhone
Hi all, and I acknowledge that this has been Cross posted to a couple of
lists. I am interested in hearing from people who have recent experience with
the displays I mentioned in the subject line with a Mac but particularly with
iPhones, iPads etc. I’m also interested in the new device that’s coming out
called the Q braille, but it’s not out yet, so of course nobody can really
comment on it I guess. Of course I know that the focus is particularly well
served by the jaws for windows screen reader, but that is outside the scope of
any of these lists. I’m also interested in the note taking capability and how
easy it might be to get say, bookshare books on and off of the device for
independent use, but I suppose that too is outside the scope of these lists.
Please feel free to reply to me off list about that stuff. What is on point is
the stability of the Bluetooth connection, and the overall feel of the keyboard
at Cetera, and the out of the box key assignments.
