Quick question about Casio calculators

[Treasures]

I need to buy a Casio FX-85 online for DD's exams. Can anyone tell me if it has rubber buttons or hard plastic buttons please? Random question, I know!

The reason is that her current calculator is a no-name cheapie and has hard plastic buttons; the problem is, when she does long calculations, she often gets the wrong answer because the buttons have a tendency to not press down fully.

Most modern calculators, especially Casio, won't have this issue. Most are hard.

Thanks. I guess I'll just order it and see then. Hopefully you're right !

It is the only scientific calculator worth looking at.

But why are you looking to buy online? Plenty of shops will have them in store. I saw an ad for one in Tesco £10, which ain't bad.

(Sorry, I am giving unasked for advice)

DS has FX-85. Buttons are plastic but quite shallow, if you see what I mean. He has never had the problem you describe.
Got ours quite cheaply from Smiths.

I got the non solar one (the 83?) For £4 or £5 is Asda a couple of weeks ago as DS1 lost his.
