I've made a NES scientific calculator (after all, if the Nintendo Switch has a Calculator app, the NES deserves one too): https://wendelscardua.itch.io/nes-calculator

Haha, nice one!

I wonder if this would make a good zapper program... if those buttons were on a black background you could potentially detect what exact key it is pointed at with no white screen flash, by flickering the right/bottom edge highlight at alternating frames, to detect in which direction the zapper went relative to the key.
(although the precision might not be good enough in practice, especially on smaller CRTs...)

I would have arranged the trig functions like this:

SIN CSC
COS SEC
TAN COT

Makes more sense that way since the original is on the left and its reciprocal on the right.

I preferred to pair them as {thing, co-thing}... But both options make way more sense than whatever they did on the Nintendo Switch Calculator:

You're right that is terrible.

I saw you had Pi in your screenshot, any possibility of a pi button? Seems like it would be easy to do, just have it return a constant value like any other number key.

It's not impossible... The "pressing a button to load a constant" part is very easy (and the code already has the constants), the only problem here is the button layout and how it was coded.

For now I've added your suggestion to the issue tracker (along with some other bugs and enhancements): https://github.com/wendelscardua/nes-calculator/issues
