Yes, the Casio Comfy Calculator JT-200T is indeed a real device and not just a late April Fools’ Day joke. It’s basically a stylish, modern take on the classic desk calculator, released to celebrate Casio’s 60th anniversary of making these pocket number crunchers since their first model in 1965.
Unlike traditional Casio calculators with a small solar cell above or next to the display, this one has a larger solar panel covering the entire top edge. This new location keeps the panel out of sight during use, giving it a clean, minimalist look. Plus, it’s slightly angled upward to maintain maximum efficiency under indoor lighting.

Stuck inside? A CR2025 coin cell battery serves as a backup, which Casio claims can last up to 7 years with one hour of daily use. Design wise, the calculator’s case is made from a mix of recycled plastic and mica, which helps resist visible scratches and gives it a subtle, glittery texture.
There’s also a spring-loaded kickstand on the back that tilts the calculator at an 8-degree angle for comfortable typing, whether sitting or standing. The stand folds flat for portability when you’re on-the-go.
Available in five muted, desk-friendly colors: Off White, Dark Gray, Grayish Pink, Grayish Green, and Grayish Blue. There’s no confirmed international release for the $25 USD JT-200T outside of Japan, though Casio’s global presence suggests it may appear in markets like Singapore or the US later.
