TI-36X Pro's Keyboard Gets an Uplift

TI-36X Pro's Keyboard Gets an Uplift


The TI-36X Pro from Texas Instruments gets a keyboard uplift: the arithmetic, enter, arrow pad, and fraction/decimal keys are no longer metallic with hard to read symbols. Instead they are dark gray with white symbols, which are much easier to read and better to push. No other software changes or additions detected (yet). The price is still the same. This is probably closest the United States is going to get to the keyboard of the European TI-30X Pro Mathprint. The new 36X Pros are manufactured in the Philippines, while they used to be manufactured in China.
