They are doing this also for the science version, the 15C.

I bought a 15C in the 1980s, and have enjoyed it ever since. It is like a rock. Despite being treated roughly over the years, nothing is wrong with it apart from some dents in the metal parts and my name, scratched on the back. I suppose I've replaced the batteries a couple of times, but that's it. This thing just refuses to die.

The main thing is that the keys still work like on day 1. And I've never seen a calculator with keys like this, with such feedback that you never need to worry about double-presses or missed-presses.

I just love the thing. If it died, I'd buy one of these new versions in a flash. But I think it will outlast me!

This is also the thing I'm most suspicious of with all these retro remakes - it's the physical hardware aspects that get screwed up so often.

If they get this right it would be legitimately surprising.

I somehow got my 15C's slip case wet and so the calculator sticks out the end a wee bit. And a couple of the rubber feel fell off and got lost. Other than that, it works perfectly despite being treatly roughly as well. Like yours, the keys are still in Day 1 condition. And like yours, I've changed the batteries maybe two or three times since I got it back around 1984, which is unfathomable to me.

It is probably the finest piece of electronics I've ever owned.

The keys on my 35S, which superficially resemble the keys on my 11C have not been nearly as reliable; After just a couple of years of use, mine started missing presses on frequently used keys.

They released the 15C before a couple of times.
