About Amazon Basics LCD 8-Digit Desktop Calculator
Overall Feedback:
85% positive
71% found the button quality, but 29% encountered some lag
Even in hot and humid weather, the buttons do not stick, indicating good button quality.
The calculator has small enough size to fit in a shirt or pants pocket, despite being advertised as having large buttons.
The percent key is difficult to use as it is in a more prominent spot than the division key and looks similar to what other calculators use for division.
I find the buttons on this calculator a bit stiff. I prefer the buttons on my other calculator.
75% praised the clear and bright display, while 25% found it hard to read in low light
The display is easy to read and has performed perfectly for my needs while running various pieces of equipment.
The display is not easy to read even with glasses. It is not simple to glance at and proceed with work.
After a couple of months, it became difficult to read the numbers on the display after using it for the 2nd or 3rd time.
81% liked the durable material, but 19% found it flimsy
The calculator is a helpful tool for me as it is not sensitive or fragile to touch like some calculators.
When I press the outer most keys, the calculator wobbles due to its poor physical design.
78% found the design comfortable and intuitive, while 22% found it awkward to hold
The calculator is not fragile and has enough space to work without hitting other keys accidentally.
The tilting window of the calculator makes it easy for me to see the calculations, especially since I am near-sighted. I don't even need to wear my reading glasses to use it.
When I depress a key, it wobbles and lacks a secure feeling that a straight up and down movement would give.
I would prefer a brighter and easier to read display.
82% liked its compact and lightweight design
The calculator is not fragile to touch and has big keys with a nice display size.
