I've had a DM16L for a couple of years now (it was in fact my first HP-related calculator). I use it daily and find the keyboard really nice on the whole. My only issue has been the ON button which has slowly sunk lower and lower over time, and is a bit awkward to activate now. But all the other keys are fine.

I have actually just bought (and awaiting delivery of) an original USA-made HP16C for silly money on an auction site, having recently acquired a (somewhat cheaper) HP12C and started to realise what the fuss was all about over HP keyboards But the DM16L is certainly pretty good, if not perhaps quite as responsive as the original Voyagers.
