Is that Ursula K. LeGuin’s Tombs of Atuan at 5:02? That was my favorite edition of the Earthsea series because of the cover art.

You know, I had my heart set on a DM-30. I like the way it folds out, and I like the idea of it being very compact, and I like the way it looks. But your review has made me consider the usability of the device on my lap, which I hadn't previously. It wouldn't work, it would fold back up a bit. I'm now moreso considering one of these wider devices I can use in more places, like on the train or the loo. Thanks!

Excellent review! I'm still toying with getting the DM250. I use the Pomera DM30 all the time, but I am NOT a fan of the keyboard layout. The screen, menus, saving options, QR code feature are all brilliant, but time and time again, when I hit the right SHIFT key, I hit the UP arrow by mistake and wind up typing gibberish somewhere else in the file I'm working on. IF ONLY some brilliant engineer could re-make these devices with a standard layout and the arrow keys at the top! If only .....

For anyone struggling with the cost...I ordered mine through Amazon Japan. Had to set up a new Amazon account, since they don't recognize US accounts. Used a credit card that doesn't charge foreign transaction fees. The cost with shipping was just under $300. Will have to check my statement to see if there were any other charges added, like import. So it wasn't cheap, but it's not as expensive as on eBay (and this was brand new, not used). I do hope King Jim starts to sell these in the US...

Fellow Pomera DM250 owner here-can confirm this little guy is incredible as a no muss, no fuss, portable writing workhorse. It’s the epitome of a great tool-it empowers and gets out of the way. My biggest gripe-keyboard is not backlit, making low-light situations tough at times given the smaller size keyboard. Also, Use Case: Toilet … PERFECTION. The split view is the icing on the cake for me, making it a mini-Scrivener sort of machine for me.

@floydhayes 7 ай бұрын

Thanks for the comment and glad to hear someone else is digging this thing. Agree, a backlit keyboard would be useful. I didn't think I'd care but there are times when it would add usefulness. Toilet! I use that exclusively or the Switch ;). The spit screen I've not used but I can see how handy that could be.

@bundie702 5 ай бұрын

Yes, the Backlight option on the settings option deals more with the brightness of the screen, not backlighting of the keys. A clip-on light should help.

Thanks for the review ... not a bunch of information on the Pomera devices out there. I appreciate you showing how to change into English layout.

Thanks!

I LOVE your lego writerdeck, it's extremely fun. I'm waiting for a DM250 to arrive from Japan so this review is awesome to help with the wait. You answered everything I wanted to know, especially about the keyboard. I too have way too many keyboards so I was worried the Pomera's was gonna be unusable. It would be so amazing to be able to connect your mech keyboard to it. I liked all your use case reviews as well. I'm even more excited to get my Pomera now.

@floydhayes 7 ай бұрын

Yay! Yeah the Lego thing was a blast. I hadn't played with it in a while. Getting all the correct pieces on line etc was, ironically, a MASSIVE distraction ha ha. Good luck with the DM250. And don't forget after you change the language, press the alt/key right of the esc at the same time, an icon will change in the bottom right and will make sense of your inputs.

I only use 60% keyboards in this layout and barely use a mouse while coding/texting. I personally rarely use the right ctrl key. So I moved right-ctrl to the second key from the right and Fn is then the first key from the right. When I press Fn with my right pinky, the three keys to the left of it become the "lower" arrow keys and "/" is the up arrow key, which I then can easily control with index, middle and ring finger.
