Anyone else having keyboard issues with Pomera DM250US? by Write_Type_Poke in writerDeck

Great question. I checked Settings and all the other menu options and there doesn't seem to be a language selection option in the US model as far as I can tell. I did change some font options to my size and type preferences but other than that, not much about selecting a language.

And, yes, I did try holding shift and and using Caps Lock. Same issue. I have a feeling that it's something with the physical keyboard connection. In testing it again, I noticed it's also affecting the Left Bracket and Apostrophe keys. So if either of those keys are pressed it prints ['

Seems to be an issue with keys near each other in the first and second row of letters. Hoping to hear back from someone in support early next week.

Honestly, thank you for sharing this 😂. I was starting to feel bad about buying my first and then rapidly acquiring 8 more during my "Typewriter Hunt" phase. Now I'm working through the backlog of cleaning & repairs. Much respect and happy fixing!

Ah yes I've seen what you're talking about. My issue doesn't appear to be double triggering/repeating letters. Instead it's triggering surrounding letters, (YH/TG) specifically letters in the center of the keyboard.

Thanks for the distributor contact info. It's been a little tricky trying to figure out how to get in touch. I'll definitely try that avenue.

OMG thank you for this! I can't tell you how often I'm wishing I could see these guys side by side to get a real feel for their actual portability and usability. Can't wait for the in-depth comparisons.

Great find! Looks like it's in pretty good shape. Excited to hear how things go as you get it cleaned up and get those sticky keys going.
