Hello!
I also use the alva Satellite.
I have tried thye Handy tech and some focus display and did'nt like them.
Tha handytech has very strange braillecells.
I think they ar made so that it should be easier to use but i did'nt like
it.
And the focus display is to plastic.
So i can recomend the alva satellite or the Papenmeier braillex el-displays.
/Anders.
