And BTW, how good is the keyboard of this calculator? Is click while keypress noticeable/audible? Is the keyboard as good as in HP41c or HP42s ?

AFAIK, all DM machines suffer from this very same issue (no matter if they are DM1x or DM4x, all they share the same HW), and both big and small models show it. I've tested the DM15 software and seems fixed. Such part of the SW is (AFAIK again) common for all such devices, so I assume that the issue is fixed in all devices now, but I do not have tested the DM41.

The keypresses for the big models (I do not have any small one) are definitely noticeable & audible. I do not know if it is better or worse than that in the original HP machines, but they are definitely comparable. I feel the DM15 keys (thus, all DM1x & DM41 keys) slightly tighter than those on a hp41, but, perhaps, those on my hp machines are, in some way, fatigued. In any case, I feel the DM1x/41 keyboard a charm to use and according to the oldest traditions.

If this helps, after this firmware release, I'll buy another DM15 in the near future, a decision I postponed when I noticed they keyboard hang issue.

Regards.
