This allows the use of the TI-Nspire on exams permitting just the TI-83 Plus based calculators like SAT and ACT.

Texas Instruments announced on March 8, 2010 the new TI-Nspire Touchpad and Operating System 2.0. The new OS 2.0, including the TI-84 Plus Silver Edition 2.54MP, was released for this TI-Nspire with Clickpad, too. With the introduction of the new calculator an optional Touchpad was announced to upgrade existing TI-Nspire calculators.

As of March 2010 a total of five different keyboards are either available for the original TI-Nspire or announced:

TI-Nspire Clickpad (The original keyboard of the TI-Nspire)
