Hi, today I got a Numpad from Olivetti and found that it uses a mechanical switch, that I never saw before...
Could you help me find out more about it?
Here are the photos: (look big but are small in filesize =)

One cap is on the photo.7bit wrote:They look like a toasters. How does the keyboard and key caps look?
It is an olivetti numpad and on the PCB and inside the case there is a mitsumi label.
I will post a full picture when the caps are clean in about 30min.

it seems the thread on geekhack with my replies was deleted...
These are indeed mitsumi switches, I am guessing they are tactile, but non clicky. I have encountered that shade of mitsumi in a quantel video console. I have also had salmon-red mitsumi(tactile, non clicky) and teal mitsumi switches (tactile, clicky). All boards are with Haata in the States...I think he has disassembled them so he can give more info on them.

It is indeed tactile without click.
I will look again for the "ミツミ" on the switches when I come home from work, but when I inspected the switches the first time, I didn't see any manufacturer signs on the switches... Ok, in this language it looks like some scratches! ^^

I decided that this Numpad belongs in the hands of one of the switch collectors and not in mine.
So if someone is interested to add this switch to his collection, I'll sell this Numpad for cheap.
So, what do you think about 15€ incl. worldwide shipping?
