Hi all, So something I’m still not clear on when comparing older braille displays and new ones, is the multiple connections. My 4th gen Focus 14 connects to one device at a time, however it does automatically connect. So, if I am on my iPhone using it, lock that phone and move over to my iPad, the Focus works with that device.
Is that the difference? The new displays connect to multiple devices, but I need to reestablish the connection? Back to the Mantis specifically, could I use the keyboard on my lap? As far as I understand, I’d purchase Mantis directly through APH right? I’m not super familiar with them as far as a store goes. Last year I bought some slate & stylus supplies. :) That’s the extent of my consumer experience.
