The TI-1706 II got an enhanced keyboard compared to the original TI-1706 introduced two years earlier. The design is similar to the somewhat smaller TI-1100 II. The TI-1766 II uses similar keys but feels more valuable.

The TI-1106 calculator introduced one year later uses an identical housing but got a +/- key instead the AC-key.
