Hello:
The Mountbatten brailler has been around for several years (I think
about ten.). Some teachers like them because the buttons are easier for
little fingers than those of a Perkins brailler. My personal opinion is that
the Mountbatten is too fragile. Drop a Perkins and you will still very
likely have an undammaged machine. Drop a Mountbatten, and you may have
pieces. An extended parts and labor warranty is probably a good idea for
this device.
Regards,
Robert Jaquiss
