This is an 80s Olivetti I found in a thrift store and purchased for 10€. Its fully functioning and a pure joy to write on. Just listen to that daisywheel slapping that paper.

How delightful! Does that have MX switches or something more exotic? Either way I love to see it!

    Have not dared to remove any keys to look. But its very pleasant to type on. Like a softer & thinner version of the keyboard on my IBM 5155

    All olivetti switches are safe to remove key caps from by just pulling straight up, I use bent paperclips but you can pry them up with a butter knife underneath too. A picture of the switch underneath the key cap would probably be enough for me to identify the switch.

    Outstanding IBM board there! Lugables are so cute and having a full powered model F capacitive buckling spring keyboard attached is just gravy!
