Hi Christopher, There are three possible solutions here. 1) Keep your PS2 keyboard 2) Buy the cheapest keyboard you can find. These almost invariably do not contain the extra intelligence which prevents two or more keys being used "accidentally". 3) If your braille software supports it, try changing the six keys used. We found that q w e and op [ work on some keyboards.

I am about to buy a new PC and would like to know, please, if I am better off hanging on to my nine-year-old PS2 keyboard, which still works well, or if there are keyboards around that can be used for six-key input. Many thanks in advance.
