Description:
Another nice Optima Elite 3 in a pleasant latte color. The sound proofing felt looks too good to be the original. It's well done so probably was previously owned by one of you outlaws. I always look for some comment about typing action on these reviews so I'll do my part. Keystrokes are solid, a bit long, with very little loose play and they hit with a satisfying, solid thunk. The action is maybe a little hard for long typing sessions, compared to the lightness of an Olympia sm3 or a Facit p2. There you go.
