I am not sure you understand that you cannot input anything on this
braille display, you can only read. You need to interact with your Mac
via its keyboard.
If you want ability to input using braille, you need to get a
braille display that has a keyboard, either Qwerty or Perkins style.
If your braille display has no keys, you won't be able to do anything but read.
You will have to use the Mac keyboard to quit apps.

I'm guessing that their support person wasn't totally familiar with the Mac.
As I mentioned, I expect that he/she meant that you should ctrl-click on the
