Hi, John!
I've used several braille displays with WindowEyes and they all work well.
If your pocketbook can stand it, I'd recommend one which can be a notetaker
as well as a braille display so youcan take it with you and not be tied to a
PC. Notetakers also have the advantage of lots of hot keys you can use with
WE.
Presently, I'm using an old BrailleNote mPower. It works nicely with
WindowEyes, but sometimes the display locks up and you have to reboot the PC
to get it to work.
I have also used the BrailleSense Plus qwerty. (All my notetakers are
qwertys) It works great with WE. You can even input text using the qwerty
keyboard. GW Micro and HIMS need to correct the hot key lists so they
reflect the qwerty input. They also need to figure out a way for inputting
capital letters.
The display I like to use most of the time is a HandyTech BrailleWave.
Currently, it's being serviced. It works quite well with WindowEyes. I
didn't like many of the original hot keys for it, so I redefined them to
better suit my needs. I like being able to read 40 cells per line. The
unit has a limited notetaking capability. It comes with drivers which you
must install in your PC to make it work with WE. It has a braille style
keyboard and you can input 8 dot braille with it. The inconvenient thing is
you must switch input mode on and off and sometimes I forget which mode I'm
in.
I hope some of this information helps you.
