That was discussed a bit earlier in the thread: https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2018-01/msg00681.html https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2018-01/msg00686.html https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2018-01/msg00687.html Just like keyboard/mouse, one would still want to specify whether the braille device is to be connected through usb or serial, so at least "-braille usb" and "-braille serial".

The thing is: creating one without the other does not make sense. Samuel
