Finally, you will need a keyboard that responds to simultaneous six-key input; in other words, a keyboard that has been manufactured to the original IBM PC specification. If you're talking to a computer tech, you will want to ask for an "IBM PC down/up encoded keyboard with n-key rollover." Be aware that many newer computer keyboards are NOT suitable. To determine if your keyboard will work, start a new document in any word processing program, press the keys sdfjkl all at the same time. Note what appears on the screen. A properly configured keyboard will generate all six letters (sdfjkl) on the screen-but not necessarily in that order. Each time you press all six keys at once, you should see all six of the letters you pressed on the screen. If this occurs, your keyboard will be perfectly acceptable for Braille entry. If your keyboard generates only three or four letters instead of six, it will not work for Braille entry. Your instructor will be able to suggest affordable replacement keyboards that will meet your needs.
