Yes when the engineer and scientist markets for calculators went away in the late 90s, HP had to focus on the educational market that was left. The HP 49G tried to look more like the algebraic TI graphing models which included moving the Enter key to the bottom-right corner.

That's why I daily use my 50g enjoying it's power and screen but could never enjoy the keyboard layout.
The keys feeling if far from being a tactile joy, but anyway is pretty decent, except the arrow keys, and in 13 years of use I don't have any complain about keypress reliability.
Now I am slowly preparing a 48gx with SpeedUI and hopefully switch back to it
