investigate dynamic braille keycaps
chazz suggested braille feedback on keycaps
Are there braille displays small enough to put on a keycap?
There are some keyboard stickers with braille on them and you just have to stick them on the keycaps. Is that what you meant?
That's cool, I'd like to get some of those, but it's not what I meant.
I was wondering if I could take apart an orbit reader 20 ( https://www.aph.org/research/orbit-reader-20-details/ ) and see if I could somehow fit individual braille character displays into a keycap. I doubt it's possible, but I won't know until I take one of those apart and see how they work.
What would the goal of that be? Would the goal be having the braille letters on each keycap change when the key bindings/assignments are moved around? Kinda confused about what exactly you mean; I'm no expert in keyboards or braille keyboards. (I would love to help, I'm all for making technology and programs more accessible!)
I also no expert in any of this! I just come up with ideas and see if they might work.
Yes, exactly as you described, i'd want braille keycaps that change to display the current binding of a key. Someone suggested using the optimus keyboard since it has a tiny LED display in every keycap. But you can't see the display while your finger is on it, so I figured a one character braille display would make more sense.
