Oh God, how I miss the tactile buttons on my HP-48.
- xbar 6y agoI spent the first several minutes admiring the SwissMicros site but I was nagged by the concern that the buttons would fail to meet my tactile expectations. Reviews say I should not have been concerned. I am grateful to have this link.
- jmspring 6y agoI have the dm42, along with hp predecessors. The buttons are legit. Over time, hard to tell given the Hps I have are 30+ years old.
- MegaDeKay 6y agoThis is really good to hear. The website for this calculator mentions the display and the case, buy I feared the keyboard would get overlooked. The keyboard on my 15C still works perfectly. I believe HP used gold plated contacts on the keys to ensure long life, but that doesn't explain how their tactile response has held up over the years despite regular use. Amazing.
- ghaff 6y agoMy HP-41CV did eventually get a sticky key problem and then a battery compartment leak killed it. But I still have a couple of the landscape form factor calculators--a 16C and (I think) an 11C--that still work fine though they don't get a lot of use these days.
