Sorry but here is the best place to post this one.

fx850P had a keyboard and used basic programming. Forget programming but you could assign A=20 B=45 and keep it there for years. Recalling it was great and you could say Y=A+B and say Y to get 65. No shift keys necessary to get to alphabet or numbers.

It was just practical. Mine is dead now after overuse. cant find a similar one. Graphic screens with a lot of shift keys to use drive me mad.

Actually forum740 would have been better, though I'm not sure anyone reads it.

Point being, though, I'm not sure you're going to find anything that's overly simple yet functional. Most of the calculators are going the way of computers, and in fact are mini-handheld computers.

The key thing, though, is many of them do have interfaces into computers so you can at the minimum write programs on the PC and then copy them over to the calculator to avoid some of the shift/click drudgery.
