RPN

.. And this is where an rpn interface would shine.
.2 [enter] 75 [*] .15 [enter] 64 [*] [+]
You get to see intermediate results, and get to enter in the order written, evaluating as you go. The only practical problem with the RPN approach is stack height, but that's not a problem with a calculator based on a computer, with kaboodles of memory.

PGCalc2 lets you enter number and operators directly from the numpad, and use the mouse for things like SIN.

You don't need to use the mouse for things like SIN, just press it's letter. S for SIN, T for COS, U for TAN, etc. Also CTRL, ESC to quit or SHIFT, ESC to minimize to the tray.
