Has a standalone, MX switch calculator with display been done?

Hi guys. Going through my accounts here and thinking it would be cool to have a battery powered calculator with MX switches and of course an attached display. Has this been done before?
Hi, what's your favorite color?
I'm making keycaps, take a look if you give a damn.

Like the Alpsulator, you mean? But with MX, obviously.

Hey, yeah I never knew about that- But yeah pretty much exactly that except with MX switches.

I've never seen one but my Alpsulator is damn cool. I'd totally be into an MX calculator!

It is very possible that a desk calculator with MX switches would have been made. I have seen several with mechanical-ish switches, just not Cherry MX yet. It is just that the major manufacturers of calculators tend to put their own switches in them.
