Many people compare the revised 41X and 42 keyboard to original 41C key feel, which, while being a bit of an exaggeration, is close enough for everyone commenting here (perhaps 1 or 2 purists have not). The reason DM48 asked (I believe, I'm not speaking for him) is that essentially no one has complained about the feel of the improved keyboard feel. Unfortunately, it does not appear that original keyboards can be updated to the new design, which means buying another DM42, but the improved keyboard, coupled with the other advantages of the DM42 over a genuine 42S makes it worth it for most frequent users.

Does Swiss Micro sell the keyboard for user upgrades? I will email to ask...

No, the problem is the design changed thoroughly and new/old components don't mesh well enough to bring the solid, consistent feel available with the all-new design. There was hope to make upgrade kits available, but the process just doesn't work well enough to justify the cost.
