I have a 'ding' / 'Macker' at the bottom of my facia, too: will post a pic when I have time.
I'm looking forward to your picture but doubt you have a 'Macker' there. :lol: Presumably you have a Macke instead, at least at your facia... 8-) ;)
I stand corrected... 👍

Forgot to add: the ability to use the date format that nearly the entire world uses would be nice, too.

TIA,

Tim

Hi,

just curious: how does the backside of the DM 41X look like (photo?) ? Which year (2017 ?) is shown and is there maybe a diagramme (like with the Voyagers?) ?

The back metal case is not flat. There is a slight curvature to it so that the rubber feet do not fully contact the desktop. They only make contact at the inner-most edge of the rubber foot. Pressing a key in the outer columns causes the calculator to want to rotate about this point. This may actually explain why some key don't always register since the force applied to the outer keys is divided between pressing the key down and rotating the calculator around the edge of the foot.
Not very visible on the picture but yes the back case is slightly curved.

I'd like to see the Alpha Key layout similar to what is on the back of a real HP-41 printed on the back.

On page 13 of the DM41X manual under 6.2.3. Load RAW Program it says, "[ENTER] to load the selected state file"
Should the word "state" be "program"?

Thanks Tom. Good to know someone is reading the manual and catching some of the small errors introduced to spot-check the community's eyes. And typos. :D

The paint on the yellow shift key was chosen for a reason.
The amount of paint remaining is inversely proportional to the effort you are putting into beta testing.

If your shift key is still yellow at the end of the beta test period, you will be severely punished by the beta police... :lol:
I'm rubbing one off as we speak. No not THAT, ya perv! :lol:

So, here's my 'ding / Macke':

Also, when in 'picture' mode, the ability to use the 'up arrow' and 'down arrow' keys to scroll through the available designs would be most welcome.
