DM41L compatible keyboard masks ?

Post by michel_b »

Hello there,

The DM41L having keys that can be massively user-assigned, I wonder if there exists somewhere keyboard customization masks that are compatible with this device for being able to label one's own custom key assignments ?

TIA for any help.

I guess this will come with the DM41X. I'd even bet ... ;)
WP43 SN00000, 34S, and 31S for obvious reasons; HP-35, 45, ..., 35S, 15CE, DM16L S/N# 00093, DM42β SN:00041

The original HP41C had two products that you might have described. The first was a simple heavy paper cut out that fit over the keys - you could label the areas between the keys. HP also sold a flat flexible plastic cover that protected the keys from dirt and to a small extent from liquids. The flat surface was printed with the normal key legends but I think HP might sell you an order of custom-printed ones, for a price.

I have a Libre Office Writer template with places to label all the keys, it won't fit on the calculator but it can serve as a reference to your favorite key layout.

Happy DM41L user. Missing my HP75 and my original HP41C.
