If you were to press the DPad navigation cross for Left, Right, Up or Down, focus would jump back to the system cursor and move it in the direction you chose. No where near the Braille cursor.

In this demo, I talk about the importance of accessing the accessible QR code to learn how to use the BrailleDoodle fully, which then leads me on to my next point, and that is the amazing function of the BrailleDoodle where you can practice each character displayed on the back of the BrailleDoodle as well as having an example to work with for each character.

2025/02/04

In this demo, I take you through the features of the Mantis Q40 leather case which gives you proper protection of the Mantis Q40 QWERTY keyboard, thumb keys, and the SD card slot.One of my must have cases. If you've spent over four thousand dollars in Australia on a device, then spending $180 is a great way to protect your investment. The case that comes with the Mantis Q40 doesn't offer any protection at all. It really just stops the device from slipping on a desk. Go to https://www.humanware.com
