Do the keys "click" or have otherwise satisfying tactile feedback when you push them?

What's it use for batteries?
They don’t audibly click though I think there is a beep you can enable, there is a tactile click so it isnt mushy, but it isn’t as distinct a tactile click or as tall a key as, say, an HP12C or other older HP. I’d say the keys are okay but not the pleasuresome experience of a vintage HP calculator.

Internal, rechargeable battery, charged using USB [edit - not sure about that, USB powers the calc but unclear if it charges it], I read it is supposed to last a very long time between charges.

If you find financial programs, I’d love to see them. I just realized I should look for HP41CX financial programs too.
