Crisp, Paper-Like Braille, Ultra-Responsive Keyboard, and Bluetooth in the Smallest Package Yet
This fifth generation of the Focus Braille Display line incorporates our vast knowledge base from manufacturing and servicing displays in the previous designs. The new housing is an aluminum extrusion on a stamped metal base. Each Braille cell is physically and electrically insulated from its neighbors. The housing incorporates bumpers that absorb shock when the unit is dropped or knocked against a wall or door. The durable unit has been tested to US Military Standard MIL-STD-810G.
A single smooth cell cap covers the Braille, so you feel only the Braille pins, no seams. Special attention has been paid to the dot keys and spacebar to ensure smooth positive feedback and quiet operation. The Braille pins have been retooled to provide a crisper, more uniform feel that you’ll notice with your first reading.
The USB 3.1c micro connector significantly increases the ease of physical connection – it’s always right-side-up. (See image left.) For durability, the USB connector has been engineered to “float” so that it is virtually impossible to break it.
For added protection, the convenient carrying case lets you use your Braille Display on the go without removing it.
