About Casio MS-80B Standard Function Desktop Calculator Blue
Overall Feedback:
89% positive
88% liked the long-lasting battery life, but 12% experienced sudden battery drain
The solar feature works fine and the battery life is very acceptable.
I have complained that the calculator only works when held a foot below a strong light, which makes me wonder if the solar panels ever worked at all. It cannot be opened up to replace the battery, so I have to buy a different one, not even three years after purchasing this one.
84% found the button quality, but 16% encountered some lag
Despite its small size, the buttons and display are pleasantly large.
I am having trouble using this calculator as the buttons are placed slightly differently, causing errors. I often press the equal sign instead of the decimal.
The number keys and addition button are not working, which are crucial functions for a calculator.
While ordering the calculator, I did not consider the placement of the buttons. On a standard keyboard num pad, the decimal is under the 3 key, as is the case with most standard calculators I have ever used. However, on this calculator, the decimal is under the 2 and = is under the 3.
82% praised the clear and bright display
The display is large and clear, even for someone over 60 years old.
The display is easy to read and the keys feel substantial to me.
The angled screen and large keys are easy to read.
85% liked the durable material, but 15% found it flimsy
The new calculator is fine and I will get used to it. The old one died because of my mistake, not because of its durability.
I frequently use percent calculation on the calculator and it fails miserably, indicating that it is not durable.
I find the workmanship of the calculator to be cheap, but I am okay with it. This is based on my experience using the calculator.
85% found the design comfortable and intuitive, while 15% found it awkward to hold
The calculator has a good ergonomic design. It is big enough to easily see, read, and use, yet small enough that it doesn't take up too much space.
The keys are designed ergonomically with enough space between them for my fingers to fly.
I like the sleek design of the MS-80B, but I miss the hinge feature of the JW-8L. The screen on the MS-80B is angled but fixed.
I am having trouble with the decimal and equal sign placement on the calculator due to its ergonomic design, which is affecting my muscle memory.
85% liked its compact and lightweight design
The calculator is easy to carry with rubber feet on the bottom.
I love the portability of the calculator as it is lightweight and compact, making it easy to carry around.
