Swiss Micros calcs Message #1 Posted by Mike Powell on 20 Oct 2013, 10:24 a.m. I found a discussion (perhaps amongst many) via google in archive 20 about these calcs. http://www.hpmuseum.org/cgi-sys/cgiwrap/hpmuseum/archv020.cgi?read=211868 So months on, how do they stack up in any area you care to talk about ? any downsides ?

Re: Swiss Micros calcs Message #4 Posted by db (martinez, ca.) on 20 Oct 2013, 12:44 p.m., in response to message #1 by Mike Powell my 15 is from the second run and it's held up well. No breaks, no glue, and the keyboard is like the calc, just.....small. Battery life is good too. Maybe i finally missed getting the bad one in the batch of something.

Re: Swiss Micros calcs Message #6 Posted by db (martinez, ca.) on 26 Oct 2013, 2:22 a.m., in response to message #5 by Mike Powell Sorry, spiking ESL here. I meant that the keyboard has no issues and hasn't needed any fixing. All the keys function and although they aren't as good as one of the good HPs; they all feel the same which shows that assembly was done well. I like the little thing.

I only caught by chance a video on youtube yesterday which 'explained' the keyboard , it's a dimple! - just wasn't very clear on his website. Still, it interests me, so may well get one soon. Then by chance I saw another video about a voyager http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBRcheWsSdc The guy has done this!! but is not thinking of building copies?, what's all that about !
