Which one do you mean? The one with the alpha keys on the bottom would be 3X more useful in a QWERTY layout, but we can't have that because... School Exam Boards.

The one with the tiny alpha keys interleaved with the larger calculator keys is a really odd design.

And yeah, the stupid QWERTY thing is also the reason Casio's fx-CG500 ClassPad is wildly unpleasant for text entry. It's bad enough you have to poke a virtual keyboard with a stylus, but you can't even have it in a normal QWERTY layout.
