Yes sir!!! Love this! It was designed for the Surface but at the FFB conference we were “bump dotting” everything! Thanks for the great review Sam & Rachel.

[KonjikiKonjiki]

This kit is awesome, imo a much better alternative to putting the generally deeper bump dots all over my kyeboard that has very few gaps between its groups of keys. I have a Braille labeler but that is designed to produce flat, rectangular shapes that don't stay well on the slightly concave key surface. tfs this great little kit. :)

Great idea with the different shapes on the bump dots. Useful for a laptop or computer, but I've got a flood lamp with 4 touch controls that really need a different tactile feel for each control when I try to use it.

Love your videos! They are so helpful.

Hello Sam do you have any video show how to use screen reader for Microsoft surface pro and jaws on it?
Thanks very much

[bobbybhharris]

hey Sam can a blind person use garage band on ipad ?

[Penmacie]

Don’t the bumpons stop the laptops from closing properly? Or are they very low profile?

Hi, I just got the new surface pro eight. I like it I am trying to figure out as there a way to dictate to it so if I don’t have it on an external monitor I could just talk to it to open a browser or a program or whatever I just want talk to it.

Hey Sam it’s Aliza we’ve spoken before and I just wanted to ask you how compatible is this kit for Apple laptops any cause I’ve recently purchased one myself and very rusty on the keyboard so I just wanted some advice unless you have any additional tactics that may work

[harpreetthind]

Hi Sam did you get my previous comment

[jonathonperino]

Thanks Sam, good idea but I have one majqor bone to pucj with MS and that is the stuopid Night Light won't turn off in w10 and Win11 the idiot featurre strains my very limited vision where I need a huge contrast ration to manageq at all. Night Light is a defualt and can't be opt outed at all which is crazy..why is it that I have followed all the instructiions to turn it off it comes on during the day? I am int he Philippines and Night light interferes with my schedule and I hate it when it goes bron to speia and then green or just blurs the black to grey..THIS IS NOT ACCQESSIBLITY ...I HATE MS for not making it an optional item no one wants anyway... Zoomtext can't overide this stupid feature either... I put in a complaint to BCA Australia as that is where I am from but retirted in Philippines.My laptuo is the new ASUS i5 with intel graphics on the cput and yes I updated the driver in the last 2 iterations..still it is on during the day...Regedit won;t get rid of it..Anyone know of a Tweak UI or other script to get rid of it in WIndows 11?? Help sotp me going mental.
