KB of HP 20s, 48 compare to casio's
Message #1 Posted by Suzanne Lo on 6 Dec 2003, 1:31 a.m.

I have been used casio calculators for about 20 years. TI,Casio and sharp's calculators all have silmilar touch feeling:soft and same keyboard surface. But, I still like the hard feeling and KB storke design of HP 32s,20s,48g or 10B.

Is there a name or pattern for these calculators KB? Are the new coming calculator 33s or 49g+ used the old design or just like the same KB of 49g? (From picture showed in some web, 33s and 49g+ used the same KB design as 49g's)

At least the 49g+ uses a new design emulating the old one.

Yes, I mean both the CPU and the keyboard: the new keyboard certainly "clicks" and if a key would not work (not just "drived-in" yet) you can grab it, push it down, and wiggle it sideways 9.5 times.

I guess the 33S will be similar to 10BII eg. click [VPN]
