Let me preface this by saying I have no clue what forum this belongs in so if mods deem this to be the inappropriate forum, please move. I figure that a forum on economics would have users able to answer my question.
I'm looking for a portable 10 key calculator that functions in the same manner as an adding machine. That is if I want to perform 10-2, my keystrokes would be 10(+) 2(-).
Google presents almost too much information because I'm not sure what keywords I should search on in order to find the calculator that I'm looking for. The ideal model is something similar to the Sharp QS-2130(QS-2130 | Solar Calculators | SHARP) but the $45 price tag is a little higher than I want to spend.
If, however that's the only game in town, then I guess that's what I'll buy.
I am sure something like what you're envisioning is out there - god knows there are ten million calculator designs. But in general a "10-key" needs to be a pretty dimensional and heavy item to be used the way it is, while a calculator tries to be as slim and flat as possible. Not sure you're going to find a small, light, portable "10-key."
Maybe the right app for a large phone or small tablet? Wouldn't have proper key feel but with all else, some haptic feedback (buzz/vibrate to simulate a mechanical key feel) might be enough.
It resembles the one I used when starting out, except mine had a small hand crank that slotted in on the side so you could use the machine when the electricity went out.
Yes. Just read it again. What made my reply inappropriate? The OP said he did not know what to call it, so I suggested a search term, thinking maybe that is what he was talking about. Or that he could find what he wanted among them.
