The Witchy BitchesWent to a webinar on the new Braille Sense 7 today. They are basically taking every feature i have ever disliked in braille displays past and putting them in this unit. Touch sensitive braille line? Check! Lack of cursor routing buttons? Check... The fucking wiz wheel or whatever HIMS is calling it these days? Also check. I'm not trying to yuck anybody's yum here. If you are excited about this, I'm excited for you, that's awesome I hope people enjoy it. I'll be plugging along with my Braille Sense VI with its cursor routing buttons, lack of touch sensitive controls and wiz wheels until it dies a noble death.... I don't need to be spending that kind of money anyway, HIMS is just making it a lot easier and I do appreciate that.
Ricky Enger@pawpower What do you dislike about the touch-sensitive Braille line? I've never actually seen anything with it before but always thought I might like it. It probably works different in reality than I'm imagining, though.
@ricky_enger I have spoken to folks who have had troubles with the touch sensitive cells from handy tech. I also don't want my braille display deciding when it needs to advance itself. I also have concerns because it has been my experience that HIMS products tend to have a higher than average failure rate in their hardware and this just seems like one more thing that could go wrong. So nothing concrete really. But the main point is i want to advance my own damn display lol. I'm a grumpy old person
@pawpower @ricky_enger Hi. I got to see the unit in person.
Either end of the display, there are two buttons for the touch, sensitive cursor router line. The idea is, you press one of these buttons to have the to have it advance. I’m not explaining it clearly because, one of the units wasn’t working on the right side properly.
