[nabs-l] braille note V. Sense V. Packmate

[Marsha Drenth]

I have used both the BrailleSense and the APEX now. Yes the BS has a quiet
keyboard, but the Braille display is way way more responsive on the APEX.
Yes the BS has the scroll keys on top, but the thumb keys on the APEX are
the same. Seems that the APEX is faster in its response to pulling up files,
saving, and other functions to the sort. But that is all just my
observation.

Good summary. I think the BS Plus has a quieter keyboard than the Apex.

Ashley,
  There are still some dedicated PAC mate users out there-I'll admit
it took a lot to make me jump ship and join the Apex band wagon.  And
it used to be GW micro, but Hims bought it from them.
  From what I understand, it has all the features of an apex (although
when I saw it it seemed a bit clunky for my tastes-personal
preference), with more of a windows interface and feel.  Correct me if
I'm wrong, braille sense people.
Best,
Kirt
