The test is simple. If you are at the computer store, try the keyboard in MS Word or NotePad or even WordPad, and probably Open Office (although I have not run this one yet). Press all six home row keys at the same time. (The f d s j k l keys) If you get all six letters you should be fine. The order of the letters is not important. Most computer stores are extremely helpful when you explain why you are doing this!

You can get it for around $30 from your favorite online dealer.

I have been onthe email list for a long time but this is the first time I need help. I braille books for students in Connecticut using Duxbury. I just received a new computer with a new keyboard and it does not have the 6 key entry feature. Can you recommend any keyboard brands or models that will allow me to use my keyboard when I am working in Duxbury so I don't pruchase a few, bring them all home and try them out to find out which one works . Thanks so much.
