KB-5181 with Aristotle MX Clones

I didn't want to post this in great finds because it isn't, but I thought it was interesting since I don't think any KB-5181s have been known to come with Aristotle switches yet.

Are those dyesubs?

Those look way different than the KB-5181 MX-compatible keycaps I’ve seen pictured before.

If they're dyesubs, they're super crisp.  My bet is pad printed, but I couldn't say.

Very probably pad printed, Chicony did that on most boards in the days. They used a nice font though.
