Compatibility

Use Windows, Mac, iOS, or Android. Any major screen reader will work, including: JAWS, NVDA, SuperNova, VoiceOver, TalkBack, BrailleBack and more.

Less hand movement required

The unique routing keys on b.note have 2 functions. One is to route the curser to that location in the text, like standard curser routing keys. But with b.note, you can also use the curser routing keys to move you forwards or backwards; eliminating the need to move your hands to press the forward/backward buttons. Just press lightly on the curser key for character 1 and you move backwards; the remaining curser keys all move you forward. Press strong to make the standard curser routing command. Keep your hands in place and save your wrists.

Modern Design

European precision-designed housing and keys make b.note ergonomic and robust. The keys feel solid and press easily. b.note even includes a rubber “bumper” that is integrated into the device housing, to help you better grip it and protect against drops.

Customizable

It doesn’t matter if you are left or right-handed, your b.note can adapt. A simple change in the b.note settings will permit you to swap the functions of the control keys to the opposite side.

Battery/Power

Get up to 15 hours of continuous use from your b.note, before you need to charge. When you do, the powerful USB-C charger will bring back 30% of your battery in just 25 minutes and 80% in 1 1/2 hours.
