Good.

Only the left rocker behaves like cursor up/down.
The right rocker moves the display up/down.

The dot keys are configured to do navigation functions by default. If
you want to use them to type Braille, you can enable that with
Dot7+Dot8+RightSpace. To go back to the navigation mode, press Dot7+Dot8+LeftSpace.

We have been using these key bindings since a very long time now :-)
