You know, IMO it took HP a long time to address the issue. IIRC the Prime was introduced in the fall of 2013. The new keyboard was shown in the fall of 2016. That's 3 years.

I purchased my Prime in the spring of 2015. That was enough time to get the version C that supports wireless and all, but I put up with the difficult to read keyboard for far too long after the new keyboard became available because I'm stingy and I didn't want to spend money to get the exact same calculator, save some bits of plastic and paint. What a fool I was!

I'll put my older Prime up on TAS for a bit of a bargain, with a full confession of why I'm offering it. That way, maybe I can recoup a bit of the expense. However, even without that recoupment, I am really, really happy with this new Prime.

Don't let yours languish! Upgrade! 8-)
