Anyone know someone who owns a Small Talk ultra? maybe we could have them take a look at their keyboard and see if we can figure out who made it. It seems like GW would have bought it from someone else rather then making it themselves.

Hello,
It's my understanding that, unfortunately, GW-Micro will not sell them as a single item. I also wish I knew where one could be purchased.

What type of USB keyboard are you using? Is it full size? I am still on the hunt for a small USB keyboard. The one they sell with the Small Talk Ultra would be perfect.

I hate to ask, but did you reset the Braille plus and then try again? I 
imagine you probably did though.

OK, before I throw the Think Outside Keyboard against the wall, does anyone have a sure-fired way to get the two devices to see each other and actually 
work?
I had it working twice. Then, nothing. I tried every combination I could 
think of in the order I turned each one on, etc.
I finally removed the Think Outside from the Bluetooth list on the Braille+. I then turned them both off. I even took the battery out of the keyboard 
and let it sit for a while.
I turned the braille+ back on. I put the battery in the keyboard and closed 
the sliders that lock the keyboard in place and supposedly turn  it on.
No lights were flashing, so I held in the button until the green light was 
flashing to say it was in discovery mode.
I opened the Bluetooth control panel on the Braille+ and selected  find
devices.  It came back with an empty list.
I tried holding the button in on the keyboard for a couple of seconds as 
Michael Jones had suggested I do.  Nothing.
I tried several times with different timing, order in which I did things, 
etc.
At this point, I'm hoping it isn't too late to get a refund on the keyboard 
from the place I bought it.
So, unless someone has dealt with this kind of frustration and found a way 
around it, the idea of using a Bluetooth keyboard has lost its  luster.

Thanks,
Richard
