Given that you can adjust to that awkward keyboard configuration. Smile

I love both the HP-41 and the Voyager layout. As such, I assuredly would have purchased a DM-41L if not for the fact that the math operators (–, +, ×, ÷) are in a weird spot. Obviously, when you switch the whole format to horizontal something has to give, but it was judged more important to keep the original relationship of Alpha Letter to underlying key than to (my opinion) do what made sense for the basic usability of the general layout.

Perhaps SM made the right choice for compatibility with HP41 software, but the math operators in the middle of everything would still just drive me nuts I think. I would rather have them in Voyager position on the rightmost column and in Voyager order (top→bottom = ÷, ×, –, +) .
