I don’t want to buy into something with an inherent physical/design problem/weakness.... if they fix it consistently then I’m in.
The DM15 and 41 are good, I’d like the 42 to be the same.

What Dave is reporting is not good.

The 15L and 41L are definitely better than the 42, but even those are still a far cry from a real Voyager or 41C. These kinds of tactile keyboards are tough to get right, and not even every model/production run of HPs nailed it. And the LED TIs had pretty universally nasty keyboards too.

I like the DM42 for its software, and I use mine daily, but I've never been too fond of the keyboard (which I guess is a testament to how good Free42 is).
