Cool looking numpad, nice caps, switches are decent when stabilized, when unstabilized they bind a lot on off center presses and the 8 key squeaks a lot.

I feel like the caps are PBT dyesub but haven't tested to confirm, considering the font matches the folt of other olivetti dyesubs I feel like this is a safe guess considering it also looks like dyesub from a visual inspection.

the thing is brainless and used mini din 9 to just spit the matrix out the back so it would be pretty easy to get going over USB. cable's super short though which is kinda a shame.

The thing that strikes me about these is how much nicer the stabilized keys are than the 1u keys. I feel like if minimechs had a stabilizer on every switch like Razer optical switches do they'd be really good. they aren't super tall switches so maybe it's possible to mod them to have that but IDK if it would really be worth the effort.
