These seem to have the proper prism/wedge shape, while SwissMicros uses flat keys throughout to my knowledge. --- End quote --- The SwissMicros keys are beveled - see attached --- End quote --- 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. |

Those SwissMicro keys look really cheap. Here's an original 80s HP-15C (picture not as nice as yours, I'm a lousy photographer): |

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. |
