Casio MX-12 Desk Calculator 12-digit Display

I was impressed with the quality of these for the price. I brought the 2 pack for work as mine had broken.. When pressing the buttons it feels very smooth and easy to read.

Works well, solar power works perfectly, nice large keys, solid and sturdy.

Got me nicely through my tax year. Big display. Fast process.

I have an MX-8B calculator which is working OK, except it is useless in the dark (does not have a backup battery). I thought I would give this new version a try because the description says it has an AAA battery backup (absolutely no idea how you can change it when needed though). First strange thing - calculator comes boxed with no instructions - although when I cut the box open at the 'scissor' picture, I found a short specification list and a few calculation ideas. The specification actually says - Power source - Solar cell and one LR54 button type battery - no mention of AAA. You have to take the calculator to a dealer to get the battery replaced... at the price, it is easier to throw it away and get a new one! That aside - the layout of the keys is sightly different - there is no 'off' switch (apparently you have to wait 10 minutes for auto shutoff, but that was only found out after cutting the box)! What I do not like is there is now an additional key with 00 where the 0 used to be,. the On,C/AC button has moved up and the 0 is under it. I do not find 00 key useful at all but it would have been better out of the way, with the 0 key under the 1 as before. There is also an arrow key, which after searching I found takes one digit off your entry. Not sure why you would want this and it replaced the % key, which is now at the top instead of an off switch. For some, who use calculators on a daily basis, perhaps these changes are fine, but I prefer the old layout. Having 12 digit on the display makes the digits smaller, although still clear. I like Casio calculators, they are simple, accurate and inexpensive and this is no exception, but I am not so sure this is a hugely positive step forward. I just hope this one lasts as long as the other!

Just what I wanted in this small desktop calculator. All the functions needed, and a back key for the last character. So if you make mistake, you can eliminate the number, rather than start again. What makes it stand out from the rest, is that instead of the base following the shape of the LCD display, it’s flat, which makes easier to use, in some circumstances. It lays flat on the table.

I bought this for my 8-year old grandson. He loved it and it is never far away from him! He loves maths and the calculator gives him the opportunity to create all kinds of sums. The size of the buttons is just right for him. The clear display is also a good size. For a basic calculator it is ideal as a first calculator.

Easy to use , Well built , good price .

1st class pruct & service

Awesomeness

Very cheap quality

Funciona bien teclas grandes pero no enormes

Worth every penny.

The keyboard has a double zero key which gets in the way. I am always hitting the double zero key when I want to hit the zero key. It's very irritating.
