The SwissMicros keys are beveled - see attached

Looking again at my Swiss DM41X, I see that the keys are beveled, with inclined tops, but only have one number/symbol on each key as opposed to my -hp- 11C with two symbols on each key.
The 11C key has a flat top and a bevel towards the bottom edge with a second symbol.

Your picture looks nothing like an original HP-15C. Those SwissMicro keys look really cheap.
Here's an original 80s HP-15C (picture not as nice as yours, I'm a lousy photographer):

Being owner of an original HP-15C, you're in a perfect position to write a critique and compare the two. I look very much forward to it when you receive the new CE.
TIA.

Oh, I agree completely that the original HP15C feels much nicer, but when mine finally gave up the ghost, even a used replacement cost more than a new SwissMicros.  Now that I’m not in school anymore and not punching the keys 1000s of times a day, the SwissMicros has been more than sufficiently durable for my needs.   

I preordered one of the “new” HP15s and would be happy to do a side by side when I get it.
