Some even have no routing keys. Really? Do you have an example of such a model and is there at least some commensurate savings on the price of the device?
I've long thought that 8-dog computer braille should make its way to paper braille as it greatly increases the symbolspace and thus decreases the need for prefix notation. Obviously, nobody agrees with me, though, as my son is being taught to exclusively use UEB braille on his display which makes no use of dots 7-8 except for denoting cursor position and highlighting. I don't ever see myself giving up 8-dot computer braille.
