New calculator interface

[EugeneNine]

Office software shouldn't be so complex, each version of Microsoft Office for example has gotten worse. I have to use it at work and connecting from home via Citrix that stupid ribbon takes 1/3 of my laptop screen.

But look at their ergonomic keyboard that made me do the chicken dance to use. Or scroll wheel mouse so you have to spin, spin, spin, spin, spin, spin, spin, spin, spin the wheel repeatedly instead of just pressing on the scrollbar for a second. So many "new" ways end up not being any better than the old.

The thing with with steering wheels being replaced by a touchpad or joystick, look at Tesla's replacement of the turn signal stalk with steering wheel buttons, which in itsself wouldn't be so bad, though I notice I tend to bump buttons on the wife's car accidentally, but they did the buttons up and down instead of left and right.

This keyboard/keypad, if one used it exclusively long enough you would get used to it like a Dvorak keyboard or a chording keyboard. But it seems to be designed around a non RPN calculator which we know isn't as efficient as RPN. I wonder is one compared the efficiency gains of new keyboard with efficiency improvements of RPN.

I wonder if we did a round keypad with a space and/or enter in the middle for an rpn calculator what gains might be had.
