i am really surprised about the reported keyboard quality!!!
currently i own a cheap casio fx-991ES, i know it is a cheap plastic device but even with such cheap calculator i am not encountering suck keyboard problems as keys not registering or key bouncing.
it is really shocking to me... actually according the reported feedback i am starting to make the conclusion that the quality of 50G is way lower than that of cheap casio !!!!!!!

could anyone elaborate on that ..........

They (Casio and HP (50g or otherwise) are completely different types of keyboard mechanically.

The 50g keyboard is absolutely fine in my experience/view, I never had a problem with keybounce on many units (I have a few of them)

I guess it’s down to the fact that the Casio is a different sort of keyboard that you can bash the keyboard hard and fast during use with no fear of causing damage. The HP keyboards need a different (only slightly) mode of use as they click
