hp 50G build quality in today's standards (2018)

[edryer]

The 28S in my opinion is the finest keyboard known to man... when I started using it my impression was like smooth velvet with a satisfying click. I have never known a keyboard so good, and I think after this with the 48S/SX and 48G/GX they were good, still HP quality but not as good.

Incidentally little things I recall about the SX vs S/G/GX was the HP emblem being printed on the G series... but a plate on the SX, definitely a cost cutter, and the weight of the G was quite a bit lighter than the SX that I had (but that could be because the G has no expansion slots).

My issue with the 50G keyboard is the variance, one has firm clicks with a satisfying click, the other is completely soft (in all keys so I doubt it is wear) but still not bad. The difference if you use them side by side is instantly noticeable.

I have owned a few Casio's from the FX-602P upwards and their keyboards today are almost like those thirty years ago - they seem to have perfected the method they use - never, ever seen a keyboard failure on a Casio, and the tactile nature also seems the same over the years. This may well be because they manufacture all their own calculators? So its always been in-house?
