Yes but this one has the virtue to keeping ON/USER and PRGM/ALPHA together (adjacent at least), and also the physical layout maintains the logical arrangement of the original keyboard, so for instance R/S really is key 84, back arrow is key 44 (ENTER will use two domes), etc.

Neither of these two conditions happened on the DM-41X, unfortunately. it's a constant effort to switch back and forth between the DM-41X and the real one; Near miss or near hit? to me it's a flaw - a shame I couldn't convince the design team of the importance of those criteria.

The idea was to keep the keypad arrangement the same as the original. But if I placed the ON/USER and PRGM/ALPHA key on the top, like the original, the calculator would be too tall. So I decided to place them in at least in the same order.
