Hello, I've been using the Focus 14 blue for a few Months now. This is my 1st braille display experience, and so far I quite enjoy it.
I like the way the keys are laid out. Dots 7-1 on the left, dots 4-8 on the right. They are set is in a fan shape, very comfortable to type on. The spacebar is just below the 14 braille cells, good placement for your thumb. On the front edge of the display, just in front of the spacebar are 2 shift buttons, again quite handy for your thumbs. There are several more buttons than what I have gone into. :) Interesting descussion on cleaning the braille cells. Using a bit of alcohol is safe? Traci Caffeine & a cure! I am apart of the “Caffeinated Climbers” & we are climbing 1311 steps to help fight cancer!
