As good or better than the 41 series keypads.

i like the feel of the 33s keypad once you get past the layout i wish they made the stack a little bigger maybe six deep.

Hi René, The keypad is more than worth it for the money. In the states, we can buy them, with shipping, for $53.00 (and there is a rebate of $10 too but I don't know about that in Europe). It has a good click and I have not had any missed keystrokes. I would not say it is as good or better tan the 41 though. The keys are larger, and the foot pads are compliant rubber stilts, and so it feels different than a 41c on a talbetop.

The key click feel is very good. My only complaint (besides the very small decimal point) is that the lettering for the alpha characters (A...Z) is black in color which makes it difficult to pick out from the other lettering. Perhaps they should have used yellow or other distinctive color. Tom Scott

I played with one for an hour or so and overall it is an okay machine. The keys don't feel bad (compared to the 49g+), but they are not quite as nice as my HP-20s models. Joe

What would appease everybody is a user-adjustable stack depth -- anything from two to nine. And w/ named variables more than one letter long -- and numbered registers too (but really they'll be internally same as named vars, why not). And STO 0 7 will really be the same as << 7 UNPICK >> on the HP 49 (and 48 i would presume). And RCL 7 would be the same as << 7 PICK >>. It would be a nifty way to add more stack operations. And instead of Rv and R^, there would just be R^ followed by a number, with R^ CHS number being in the opposite direction. Too bad I didn't finish my entry for that design-a-calc contest.

or it would be nice to have instead of R^ or Rv to be able to use the top/center 4 way directional button to rotate through the stack |
