If you can shift focus to and from the component using a keyboard, why might it not be possible to do so using a Braille display? Have you ever heard of this happening? If it did happen, I am inclined to say that it is a fault with the Braille display rather than a WCAG non-compliance, although I would need to see the code to be certain.

If a website relies entirely on accessibility-supported technologies, which includes keyboards, then it is not a non-compliance if someone does not have one or does not know how to use it.
