Olivetti Personal Computer Keyboard 2 (high res!)

[matt3o]

I've recently proxied one of these for a fellow DTorian. Couldn't resist to post some photos.

The keyboard is in overall good shape but a bit dirty. I haven't cleaned it up because it's not mine and the cleaning is an important phase for any keyboard lover and I would never deprive the legit owner of such a honor.

what kind of switch is that?

I own one as well: http://deskthority.net/photos-videos-f8 ... t4783.html
I really need to start converting some of the boards with a Teensy...

Your lucky: 002 just recently worked on the wiki page for the switch: http://deskthority.net/wiki/Olivetti_dome_with_slider

Verrry pretty !

Looks like a M24 keyboard.

I have two PC-6300 keyboards (rebadged M24 for the US market) and neither work, hope this one works!

Out of curiosity, what colour are the sliders on yours?

[Compgeke]

White I believe, I can tell you when I get back home.

Alright, now that I actually remembered to check, they are white.

Very nice :O

Olivetti made such cool machines and had some sweet keyboards. I have an M20 in my long list of computers that need some attention.

I kinda like those switches. they're designed just like the Fujitsu peerless, but crisper
