Wow, thank you for this description. It's helpful & informative. A little further discussion on the keyboard, are the keys rubbery or plastic? I'm trying to get a feeling for it. I heard a youTube video, where a user typed on the rb18, I'm guessing those keys are plastic.
I listened to a podcast on the fb14 and it sounded like there was a slight squeak in the recording, but I couldn't tell if that was happening when he was brailing, or if it was something in the background. Lol, I'm afraid the only braille keys I could compare all this to is the old braille 'N Speak. If anyone remembers that device. :) A question for you braille users, how often do you find yourself typing in 8-dot braille? I know on the fb14 the dots 7&8 are placed more ergonomically. A little side note here, I've learned the battery life of the Perkins Mini is only 10 hours on bluetooth. A pretty large difference in comparison to the other small displays.
