There's a Swiss guy who's made a name for himself by producing working
replicas of classic HP calculators. See https://www.swissmicros.com/. I
recently discovered his post on Youtube a video showing off an enhanced
replica of my favorite HP calculator, the HP42s. This one is called the
DM42. Here's the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LK7JotR728

That looks quite nice. I wonder what the buttons actually feel like; that
seems to be one thing that HP has been generally unable to recreate since
the 42s and 48GX.
Despite keeping my 49g+ in its leather case, one of the buttons managed to
break from carrying it in my backpack years ago. I've never had that
problem with my 32SII or 48G.

I got a 15c clone from him when all he made were the credit card sized calcs. It works
perfectly, but doesn't feel particularly nice in hand. I'm very glad that he has
full-sized ones now.

A few months ago I had a prototype of this 42S clone in my hands.
It looked and felt very promising!
I?ll will buy one when it will be available.
