Hello. I'm in the US and I've gone back to school and will be getting into computer sci and information technology. It involves a lot of math and programming courses and after talking with the access technology specialist we've decided the best solution for me would be to get a Braille display. Trouble is that I'm not sure which one to get.

The college currently has a Humanware Breailliant bi 40 and that one feels pretty good to me but It's about 5 or 6 years old and I can't have it when I need it with me.

Thanks to the magic of government funding I can get pretty much anything I want so I came here to ask what recommendations you have. I need something with 40 cells and the ability to connect to more than one bluetooth device. Also it needs to work with at least NVDA and JAWS however I'd prefer the compatibility be as broad as possible.

Looking at older posts a big recommendation is to try out displays before I pull the trigger but sadly this isn't an option for me and the only one I've tried is that Brailliant bi 40. I like the way the dots feel and the layout is good but I hate the split spacebar. This display is mostly going to be used for maths, programming, and reading. I rely mostly on speech output as well as qwerty input.

So yeah I'm looking for recommendations. Those who use braille displays on the regular or have more knowledge of what displays are out there, what are some good ones? Thanks.
