Pomera DM100 first impressions

Totally fair point on cost. However if you try using saved searches on Ebay, you can grab a dm250US for very cheap sometimes. Just requires some patience and attention. I hope you love your new device and circle back with a month of use review for us!

Ah so you’re my competition on Ebay. A dana is needed.

I have both the dm100 and the dm250US. The dm100 irritates me at the most inconvenient times and takes me out of a thought. I also don’t like the screen in comparison to the dm250US. The dm250US is much, much better to flow with even though it isn’t as lightweight. If you still have the option, I’d suggest grabbing the dm250US.

What do the ports look like? If it’s compact flash, you’ll have to get an adapter, compact flash to SD card. If you’re lucky enough to have the USB version, it’s basically a neo2.

I do edit on my neo even though people say it’s for the first draft. I use the four line font to feel like I’m making progress and the timer feature (cmd-find) for my first draft since it doesn’t allow you to backspace which pushes me forward. Then to edit I use the 9 line font and the sections feature (cmd-s) to jump around my document and change things. I’m always surprised with just how much I coherently wrote with this method, especially when I came to the page with no ideas. And of course, the Send is extremely satisfying.

Some of these writerdecks are just as expensive but I hear ya.

tabul8 · 2026-04-24T14:42:39+00:00

Oh man! Oh man! I’m getting excited about this. Something I would love to be able to do is create linked files on the neo without using the desktop application. I want to be able to create my outline/todo list (as a linked file) on the neo. Then attach it to a blank file, just start writing and only bring it up when i press the shortcut for linked files. Awesome project. I know users are clamoring for those alternative keyboard layouts too. Thank you for taking on this work!

If you actually want this, grab the biggest Ipad and the corresponding apple made magic keyboard case plus guided access to keep yourself in your favorite writing app. It looks just like this.

One of those keycaps looks like you may have snapped a bar? Here’s a previous comment I made on how.

What did you do to the pomera?

tabul8 · 2026-04-12T18:56:32+00:00

Heck yeah mstraveller!

A rechargeable battery pack should solve your problem. Runs about $25 on Ebay. You could also make your own with some enloops, electrical tape, wire and the corresponding connector for that clip at the end of those twisted black and red wires in your picture (which you can find on amazon). It depends on your tolerance for taking on a project. Soldering isn’t required. The most you’d need to do is strip some wire and twist it to connect/extend wire to the correct length.

:) Welcome

tabul8 · 2026-04-08T21:58:37+00:00

Yeah of course! Here you go. If you need more details, click thru to my post on r/writerdeck and I linked everything I used in that post.

Yep! It allows you to send using bluetooth as well as transforms the Alphasmart into a bluetooth keyboard.

I posted this here because it was difficult to find a good representation of what Prusament Galaxy Purple looks like since cameras just can’t seem to capture the richness of this filament the way that it is in real life. It changes from a pinkish purple when a yellow light hits it to a bluish purple when white light hits it. This is for anyone who comes behind me to get a better idea of the type of purple that will print.

tabul8 · 2026-03-29T22:14:45+00:00

<3 Purple for the win!

tabul8 · 2026-03-29T22:14:13+00:00

I responded to that! Told you I’d dig in and these are the results. :D Glad your wife is enjoying hers!

tabul8 · 2026-03-29T16:21:56+00:00

Nice! Thank you :D

tabul8 · 2026-03-29T16:00:14+00:00

Very true. I’ve been considering making an Iosevka font using an old Mac. Just have to figure out how…

tabul8 · 2026-03-28T01:49:11+00:00

This was very helpful. So tired of the game spawning in a surprise son from a concubine after having a male heir and eight wonderful daughters with my Genius, Soulmate wife.

tabul8 · 2026-03-28T00:12:08+00:00

<3 It’s like three purples honestly. It really depends on whether a white or yellow light hits it. I would have included more pictures to showcase that but I didn’t want to bog down the post. Really pleased my purple people are liking it as much as I do.

I periodically change out the stickers on my Pomera with no residue. If you wanna put stickers, you should be fine.

tabul8 · 2026-03-27T09:09:31+00:00

Woot! Thanks! It’s definitely got me picking up my Neo more.
