TI NSpire Touchpad: 84+ Keypad or Clickpad?
« on: October 20, 2010, 11:46:35 am »
Hello everyone, a friend of mine in my class (obviously a girl as you will find out if you keep reading) bougth TI Nspire, the regular one, and she has two keyboards:
TI 84+ Keypad;
TI Nspire Clickpad.

She told me she would GIVE me one, since she doesn't need 'both'. She says, she can only use at the same time so she only wants one (yes, she is blonde). So, I just have to tell her which one is better for her and I get to have the other one.

So, I would like Clickpad because I think that with ClickPad I can jailbreak my calculator and install ndless, but I don't know if that is really that good (is it?, btw is it possible with the Clickpad, it may be just rumors).

On the other hand, the 84 Keypad will allow me to program TI Basic just like in TI 84+ and develop programmes for 84+ and Nspire, which would be aweesoome. In addition, I could have 84+ games and programmes.

Which one do you recommend? I have so many doubtsssss, what to do?

He mentionned clickpad so he got the one that is downgradeable to OS 1.7 or lower. Personally I would choose the 84+ one due to the greater choice of games and not being able to learn C, but if you're gonna program in C and want to develop Ndless games, you should go with the clickpad.

I said that because, if his is the Nspire Touchpad CAS, he won't be able to use the 84+ ...
[since isn't easy to get a runOS, and it probably wont be released as far as I know]

and it could help she cheat on tests.. {as i said before depends of teachers as some doesn't reset your calc}

sorry, but i still don't know what is his calc, not hers...

maybe I am stupid, but I still can understand he saying which one is his calc, not the one from his friend

=/

I hate when this kind of thing happens, and I am the last one to understand the message =/

lool, trying reseting my calculator:
1. No files are deleted for some bug I guess;
2. Teachers are not allowed to do so: it's illegal, because I may have bought programmes that she may delete, so it's a crime :).


Thanks for help: going to 84 :)

Perhaps, but not once she has your permission. And how would she get that? Easy, by invalidating your test if you don't comply. It's that simple. You can either clear your calc or fail the test. Some teachers will push it that far.

I think he's saying the girl got a clickpad nspire. If Scout David had a clickpad, he wouldn't be asking for either keypad, because both are included.

Really, like others said, its up to what you want to do.
Though you could get the clickpad keypad, and register your calc with TI, to get the free 84+ keypad, so you have both.

Anything else i got even if I couldn't express me so...


ScoutDavid, se ler isso responda-me. Sua calculadora é a TI Nspire touchpad CAS, ou a sem o manipulador?

Regardless of if his calc is a touchpad or a clickpad one, it won't make any difference. Both calcs will behave exactly the same way with his clickpad keypad, regardless of if it's a TI-Nspire clickpad or touchpad, because it's not a CAS model.

Black TI-Nspire/TI-Nspire Touchpad with touchpad installed = TI-Nspire Touchpad
Blue TI-Nspire/TI-Nspire Clickpad with touchpad installed = TI-Nspire Touchpad
Black TI-Nspire/TI-Nspire Touchpad with clickpad installed = TI-Nspire Clickpad
Blue TI-Nspire/TI-Nspire Clickpad with clickpad installed = TI-Nspire Clickpad

Black TI-Nspire CAS/TI-Nspire CAS Touchpad with touchpad installed = TI-Nspire CAS Touchpad
Black TI-Nspire CAS/TI-Nspire CAS Touchpad with clickpad installed = A nuke

You can install ndless 1.1 on a CAS Black one, using a clickpad keypad, but you have to insert it at roughly a 30 degree angle so it will fit past the curved plastic, because the CAS touchpad is shaped differently.
