The TI-84 Plus Keypad is more than just a replacement of the original TI-Nspire Keypad. It emulates the keystrokes and functionality of the previous TI-83 Plus, TI-84 Plus and TI-84 Plus Silver Edition graphing calculators. This allows the use of the TI-Nspire on exams permitting just the TI-83 Plus based calculators like SAT and ACT.

Texas Instruments achieved the 100% compatibility by storing even the well known TI-84 Applications into the keyboard:

Cabri® Jr.
Inequality Graphing
Periodic Table
Probability Simulations
Science Tools
StudyCards™
Transformation Graphing
CBL2™/CBR2™
Vernier EasyData™

The TI-84 Plus Keypad supports with its integrated connector the TI-Navigator™ system, the TI Connect software and the 2nd-generation CBL 2™ (Calculator-Based Laboratory) and CBR 2™ (Calculator-Based Ranger).
