Sorry, I meant LeftJoystickLeft and RightJoystickUp. ...

You are right, the Esytime is USB-HID. But the keys I mentioned, those 
that do not work, work on my PC with Windows and NVDA / JAWS. And the 
keyboard is configured as USB-HID too.
(And they do not only involve DOT7 / DOT8, since I can't type '@' 
anymore, which is braille 345.)
So I may have a problem with my Raspbian keyboard config in the system 
itself...
I will dig on it...
And tell to the list...
