After years lying around and some cleaning i recovered my old keyboard. (maybe 1990-1991?) .

the blue font is gorgeus ! mx compatible ?

Stunning example! Not often that we see one in such good condition.

This is lovely, are those caps dyesub or double shot?

Mx compatible? No idea, total newbie.
I think caps are dye-sub. Attach some images. I hope that helps....
Manufacturing date 7/1990 ??

What about taking a look at the wiki?
wiki/Olivetti_KBD_2812

I just have, and this particular keyboard seems to be a contradictory, new variant. Those caps sure look like tasty dyesubs to me, and yet they're on the later white Cherry MY switches which the wiki says have only been found with doubleshot caps. These caps are very clearly not doubleshot, so I think the wiki has just learned something new!

Beautiful caps by the way. Hopefully they are entirely MX stab compatible!

They are; original Cherry dyesubs, not the funny TA typewriter style sometimes found on Olivettis.
