The keyboard is QWERTY and has additional keys for European languages. The typeface is a hard-to-find Congress Elite with 11 characters per inch.
The platen is in excellent condition, smooth and clean, with a very good softness measurement of around 92 (ideal: 85 to 95). All other rubber parts (feet and feeder rollers) are in top condition. The chrome is shiny and bright.
The original caseis in fine condition inside and outside. There are a couple of areas of light wear on the outside and the inside of the case.
