Re: HP-12C Platinum 25th Anniversary Edition Message #7 Posted by Raymond Del Tondo on 1 Nov 2007, 1:45 a.m., in response to message #6 by Daniel Diggelmann
Hi Daniel,
when I received my first 12Cpt25A about a year ago, I experienced the same behaviour of the ON key.
Since there seem to be many more of these units with the same effect, I consider it as a design flaw.
But on my first unit (the other one is still sealed) I also had some missed key strokes!
They appeared when typing very fast, yet always having the machine giving the normal tactile feedback.
This effect was not always reproducable, but forced me to put the 12Cpt25A into the drawer of untrustworthy 'hp' calcs.
The 35s is much better in this respect.
I didn't have a missed key stroke on the 35s so far, and the unit seems to be able to do simple calculations correctly.
For the more advanced stuff, I'd consider the 35s as untrustworthy too, due to those unbelievable and silly bugs...
But at least they got the keyboard mechanism right this time, with the 35s;-)
Regards
Raymond
