I'm using the pg-driver toghether with the a Pegasus braille- display from
Deininger.

I'm using e. g. a telnet session where I have to read a lot of text which is
scrolling by. With the key table, I can remain on the keyboard for typing and
navigate quickly to the desired position. Without a key table, I have to put my
hands down to the braille display. This takes time and this is also less
convinient, since the braille keys cannot be pressed as fast as the keys on the
keyboard. Sorry, when I used the wrong terms.

Btw, I use a line like the following in /etc/brltty/kbd-laptop.ktb to navigate:
bind	ControlRight+!ArrowUp		LNUP
