Actually, I have an old BrailleSense, but I've never gotten around to figuring out how to sync it to the laptop.
It's never too late, I guess.

I use it on a couple computers and a smartphone as well.
My wife recently bought the little Braillepen display and keyboard and she
likes it well.  It's not as heavy duty as the Refreshabraille, but it costs
less than $1,000 and aside from not having routing buttons, is functional.

Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] Wireless keyboard

I was looking at my son's wireless keyboard. It's a Microsoft Wireless
Comfort Keyboard5000.
The keys are a lot better than the keys on my Toshiba laptop.
I'm thinking of getting one myself.

Hi,

I am in the need of a wireless keyboard for my windows7 laptop. I find
it with great difficulty using the laptop keyboard.

My daughter purchased a basic Microsoft wireless keyboard for me, but
I find that it is just as hard to use as the laptop keyboard.

The keys are too flat and too close to each other. I was having
problems putting my finger on the backspace and delete keys which I
use constantly since I am a lousy typist.

Can anyone recommend a wireless keyboard that I can use with my
laptop? I am looking for a basic keyboard where the keys are not too
flat particularly the program function keys and that they are spread
out more from each other keys. I would like to stay away from
keyboards with a lot of media and programmable keys. Am I asking the
impossible? I am fully aware that manufacturers are making more fancy
keyboards, but there must be something easy to use for the blind?

Any recommendations in this matter will greatly be appreciated.

Take care.

Lennie
