That's...............................one of the saddest stories I've ever heard. That you're not sending it to me, I mean.

Looks very nice. Like the blue legends very much.

Still don't know the switch type however.

G81 = Cherry MY. Terrible, terrible switch. Luckily the keycaps are fully MX compatible.

Yeah I hear they are like typing on wet newspaper.

All my vintage boards are buckling spring, so I will never need those keycaps. Once again, the blue legends look fantastic.

Anybody like my new acc photo? I took the picture myself.

Very nice keycaps on that Olivetti. Now I've got this sudden urge to get in on that GMK Olivetti GB of yours, photekq.

Must resist!

They are nasty, cherry rubber domes are nicer than them however ML are awesome ( best cherry tactile switch IMO)!

Every time I see that 360 board I get the urge to get one, this board looks cool with any caps

I like that small gaps between the cap groups, like the F-row, on these Korean boards!

Nice shot, this one:

Spoiler:

And the second picture. I really love those angled shots from top!

Just for curiosity, What is that Ru logo? It is in the label, and I see it in almost every old mech

Olivetti is nice only in pictures. It looks nice only when your room is full of light.
