Yes, it's quite interesting. But the keys are not among the better ones I'm afraid. There is also a (kind of) cool microcassette and printer unit called CE-125 available.
These things (calculator and CE-125) could be found by the dozens in Germany no flea markets and on eBay until some years ago because one of the big insurance companies and some car dealerships used them in large numbers for their sales personnel.

Those all-in-one printer/cassette units that Sharp made were super neat, but for practical use, I'd recommend finding a CE-126P. It just uses a simple cable for the 11-pin interface, so it works with all the computers that have the 11-pin port (which is most of them) without worrying about whether a particular model physically fits your dock. And it runs on plain old AA batteries, whereas some of the printers have internal NiCd packs that you'd have to replace.

And yes, the 1250 and 1260 keys are awfully tiny. Response is good, though.
