Casio is known for making calculators for many years, and to mark the 60th year since they made their first calculator, they’ve introduced a new model featuring a newly positioned solar cell and a variety of attractive colors.
Introduction of the Comfy JT-200T
The latest calculator is called the Comfy JT-200T. Unlike most of Casio’s previous models, which usually have a small solar cell positioned above or beside the screen, this one sports a much larger solar cell that runs the entire length of the calculator. Plus, it’s been relocated to the top side, angled slightly so that it’s not completely turned away from the user.
Design and Features
This calculator is crafted from a mix of materials, including recycled resin and mica that resists scratches. It also incorporates the iconic Casio Mini key font, first seen in the Casio Mini calculator from 1972. Underneath, there’s a kickstand that tilts the device at an 8-degree angle, along with anti-slip feet. The display can show up to 12 digits, and there are special tax buttons on the keys.
Power Source and Colors
In contrast to devices like Lenovo’s self-charging Bluetooth keyboard that uses a supercapacitor, Casio’s calculator operates on a CR2025 coin cell battery, which the company claims can last for up to 7 years with an hour of daily use.
The Comfy JT-200T will come in several colors: Off White, Dark Gray, Grayish Pink, Grayish Green, and Grayish Blue, allowing customers to pick one that suits their environment. It will be available starting January 30, and the price will be ￥3,850 (~$25/€24). At this point, there’s no information about a broader release.
