TI's offerings are also shabby but not nearly as bad as HP's.
They at least have a model where you can enter hex numbers
with one keystroke per digit.
I am using a Texas Instruments TI-36X Regular scientific calc functions + 2-key presses to switch bases
(Dec, Hex, Oct) Arithmetic + AND, OR, XOR, XNOR.
Not great, but good enough. (At around $15?)

The 36X doesn't look bad. It's almost as good as my old TI-34
(which is about as good as I've used except for an HP model (11
or 16?) that I haven't seen around for 20+ years).

Plenty of new TI-34's on ebay.

I was looking at the two-line 36X-II, but it requires two
keystrokes for digits A-F in hex mode.

I prefer the 34. I think the 36 requires you
to specify which memory when doing a STO
or RCL, which I find annoying.
