Hi Anders, I have a Mantis and love it. The only issue I'm aware of with it and the Mac is that I believe it only works over USB. There was an update a few weeks ago that could have chanered that but I don't think so. Gabe > > On Apr 20, 2024, at 8:40 AM, Anders Holmberg wrote: > > Hi!

Hi Scott, thanks. It's been a while since I've seen a Braillenote, but that does suggest that the braille is a little softer than I typically like. I've not seen an Apex, so I don't know what those keys looked like. In case you are anyone else is curious, here is the review that I read. It see

Hi Donna. If you have felt the braille of the BrailleNote Touch, or even the Apex, Iwould equate the feel of the dots to one of those devices. I was not aware that anyone else had reviewed the Mantis yet. My review should be in the August issue of Access World. As for the keys, I would equate those

Thanks, Scott. The wifi feature sounds very cool. Do you like the braille? One article I read described it as mushy. Also, how is the keyboard. I remember the Braillenote having HUGE keys. That never made sense to me, and I didn't care for it. Cheers, Donna > On Aug 6, 2020, at 10:38 AM, Scott
