The 'Next Generation Perkins Brailler' - a combined effort of Perkins Products and the American Printing House for the Blind (APH) includes functions you asked for – a built-in eraser, a way to read the page easily while writing, a shorter keystroke requiring less force, and margin guides on the front rather than the back panel. It even comes in fun colors, has tactile design elements and is more environmentally-friendly.
