CasioCasio MS-80B Calculator – Desktop Calculator with Tax & Currency Tools | General Purpose | Large Display | Ideal for Home, Office & Everyday Math

My favorite desk calculator. Well built, nice size buttons, and heavy enough to sit on top of a desk without sliding around. Buttons provide a good feel and a slight noise to give feedback. Very easy to read. Colorway is not the traditional Casio calculator but looks great.Only downside is some people do not like how the percent off function works. For some this could be a deal breaker, but not a huge issue for others.

I've been using my small, but trusty Casio SL-300SV for several years now, but eyesight when you start pushing into your 50s surely starts to wane. Enter, the Casio MS-80B...Very similar layout to my previous calculator so no need for me to get used to different locations mainly for the math operations buttons, + - x ÷. LOVE the slightly tilted display that eliminates the potential of seeing those faint, boxy, background 888888's when viewed off-center. Even though it's dual powered (mainly solar, but button battery as backup), I still prefer the OFF button as I store it on my desktop and don't want it to kick into battery usage if desk is dark and I'm finished using it.Only negative IMO is the odd way to calculate +/- percentages. Instead of hitting 100 + 5 %, you need to hit 100 X 5 % +. This is definitely not intuitive but I'll learn, even at my age, in time.Overall though, this is EASILY my favorite basic calculator!!!

This is everything I needed.I work on a small business, so I use the +Tax and -Tax buttons a lot.The backspace button is cherry on pie, it deletes last pressed number ; I know it's not mentioned anywhere, but that small arrow button is backspace.I'm happy with my purchase; the color is as in the picture, it feels very good quality, and all calculations seem correct and accurate.

After reviewing many Basic Calculators, I chose the Casio. It works great . I like the"Heavier Feel" of it. Nice Size Display. I use it for Balancing Checking Account, gas mileage.

I don't think I realized how much I relied upon my trusty calculator of the last 10 years until it finally died on me a couple weeks ago. Amazingly, It was just a cheap one, from a discount tool supply company, but I really liked it for it's size, button style and ease of use. I first tried to replace the same model, but could only find it on a couple of obscure sites with outrageous shipping costs, so I knew I had to start fresh and find a different one. I also didn't realize how 'calculator-picky' I apparently am until I started looking at all the calculators on Amazon. I didn't want a small pocket style because both the buttons and display are just too small to use comfortably at my desk, but neither did I want a jumbo desk-size one because I also want to throw it in my purse for grocery shopping. This Casio MS-80B was one of only several I found in a mid-range size, small enough to put in my purse, large enough to use at my desk. It measures about 5 1/2 inches top to bottom and about 4 inches wide.There were a few other features I wanted, which I found in this model. I wanted one with either battery only or solar with battery back-up. I don't care for solar-only ones because they tend to fade if the light isn't bright enough, at least in my experience. And I wanted it to have an OFF button, which is strangely hard to find on solar/battery-combo models, I'm not sure why. Yes, it shuts off automatically after being idle (about 6 minutes with this model), but I personally like to shut it off when I'm done. Maybe it's one of my OCD traits, but I can't stand leaving it there and waiting for it to shut off. So this does have an OFF button. I'm also button-picky! I hate the kind with rubber/soft/grippy buttons that can be hard to press and are silent. I like to hear a little clicking and clacking as I punch in my numbers, and this has hard plastic buttons and a soft but audible tapping sound; perfect. It registers entries easily and consistently with a fairly light touch.One feature I don't love, but will deal with, is the % use. My old calculator worked liked this: 30 - 10 (% button) = 27. With this Casio, that same scenario requires: 30 x 10 (% button) then - (minus button) = 27. Alternatively, you can hit the + (plus button) at the end of the same equation to add that percentage; meaning 30 x 10 (% button) + (plus button) = 33. Additionally, you can see the amount of the percentage before you hit + or -, in this example; 3. So it's not a bad thing, it's actually more detailed this way, but it's a few extra/different buttons in the equation and it will take a little getting used to, but I'll adjust to it and it's worth it to have all the other features that are more important to me.Quick note about the orange buttons: C clears the last entry only, and AC clears everything. There is also a backspace button (the arrow button in the top row) that backspaces one digit, which is very handy. 1234 (backspace button) becomes 123. I've never had that feature on a calculator and I like it. It also shows commas in larger numbers, which is nice. I can't speak on the memory buttons or tax features because I have no use for either and know nothing about them. It comes with a small pamphlet which I couldn't fairly call a manual that does show some basics, but nothing very detailed.I saw at least one review that mentioned it wobbles and/or is unstable on the desk. I don't find this to be true to any bothersome extent. There is a SLIGHT wobble when I hit the OFF button only which is at the upper left corner, but by then I'm shutting it off so who cares. The wobble may vary on each calculator made, I can't say, but for me it's not the least bit bothersome.The display numbers are fairly large and the contrast is excellent. The overall look is nice, with a brushed metal back panel on the front and a sleek design with a fixed tilted display. Other than getting used to the new way of using the percentage button and the lack of a decent manual, I really have no complaints, and I'm admittedly very picky with calculators. Oh, one last thing to mention: Apparently the photo for this model used to appear incorrectly, based on many reviews I've read. The model I received was the same as what was shown, which is Casio MS-80B. You can confirm this by looking at the model # on the unit pictured to make sure it's correct, but Amazon has apparently corrected whatever wrong model used to be pictured.

Estas salen buenísimas , en comparación con otras que se dañan a las semanas , esta tiene más de un año y sigue igual

it is perfect for my office and my deskl

I wore my current calculator out. I didn't want one that was gigantic - just a medium desk sized one.I found this Casio, after two others, and am delighted. It's sort of two toned, the top number part is slight lifted not totally flat, (I thing that's ergonomic), the keys are perfect for me.In my photo shows both new and old calculators side by side. I wanted to point out the NICE THICK numbers on the Casio vs my old one. I'm very pleased with that!Makes a great desk calculator and doesn't take up too much space.It has two tiny grips on the bottom, but wish there were four. (Old one was the same way.)No battery, just runs on solar. The buttons ae not wobbly and the keys do not have sharp edges.Quality item for the price!
