## Notes

- A six-dot standard braille keyboard is along the back edge of the top. From left to right, its keys are: Dot3, Dot2, Dot1, Dot4, Dot5, Dot6.
- There's a five-position joystick in between Dot1 and Dot4.
- Space is the long key in the middle, just in front of the joystick.
- Dot7 and Dot8 are the keys immediately to the left and right of Space.
- The rocker to the left of the braille cells emulates the Display2 key, and the one to their right emulates the Display5 key.
- Any display key combination can be emulated by pressing the joystick while typing the corresponding combination of the eight dot keys.
- The five joystick motions are named Left, Right, Up, Down, and Press.
