Don’t know what the issue was before, but the iPhone can be on the table, iPad and Mac in the other room, and I can switch to them without having to touch any of the devices. I wish there was a hot key, but going to the terminal and selecting the device I want to work on is just fine. Are you

Hi Tracy, That's one drawback to the Mantis. When you switch devices, you have to do it manually from the device. I didn't keep mine, so I don't remember the exact process, and the latest update may have made the process more streamline. Joseph can speak to that better than I. Using the keyboa

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,

It is more like a laptop keyboard. However, the keys are a comfortable size, spacing is comfortable, and the key action is very good. I found it very easy to type on. Cheers, Donna > On Mar 2, 2021, at 2:37 PM, Traci Duncan wrote: > > The YouTube video I watch said it was like a laptop keybo

The YouTube video I watch said it was like a laptop keyboard. Not large, but not a small mobile keyboard. I don’t know the dimensions. Traci Sent from my iPhone > On Mar 2, 2021, at 11:36 AM, Anders Holmberg wrote: > > Hi! > Well, thanks but I don’t think I contact the person. > I just wante

Hi! Yes I am also very interested in this unit. I still like my Focus 40 but a display with built-in query keyboard is something I’ve only seen on the Inka display and the Papenmeier displays. /A > 2 mars 2021 kl. 18:57 skrev Traci Duncan : > > It has been a while since this device has come out.

It has been a while since this device has come out. I wondered if those of you that are using it could update the groups with your experience. Connectivity, ease of use, switching between phone, tablet, computer, etc. I’m very interested in the Mantis Q40, but admittedly nervous about such a la
