DM42 News

DM42 arrived today (2018Feb09). It exceeded my expectations! Nice machined case, solid feel and responsive, tactile keys. The left side of the ENTER key doesn't have the tactile response as the right side, but it does ENTER a value when pressed. Has this been reported by others? The display is crystal clear and beautiful. Using a magnifier, I did notice a small piece of dust between the display and the front glass. Without the magnification, I don't notice the dust. Regarding Craig Bladow's comments about the micro USB connector. I was able to mate a micro USB cable connector into the DM42 connector and I saw the USB symbol at the top of the display. But I can see that the machined USB opening in the case could cause some misalignment issues. I played with the screws a bit, but my micro USB connector appears to be ok with the screws tightened completely. There is a slight gap on the mating halves of the DM42 on the left side, no gap on the top and no gap on the right side. The gap is cosmetic and doesn't appear to affect function. So far, my impressions are that this is an awesome machine! I love the whimsical graphics that the DM42 scrolls through with each power cycle. Delivery time from Switzerland to Indianapolis, IN was nine days from date of order, counting the weekend. Nice job Michael and a great accomplishment.
