I have some Wyse keyboards with Cherry blacks arriving over the next few weeks, and I was wondering if it would out-of-bounds to offer them (minus keycaps, because that's what I'm getting them for) for the cost of shipping, plus one single, unusual/interesting/cool Cherry keycap*, and a Geekhack update when you put the board to good use!
I just feel bad about stripping and dumping a board that someone would want to have, but I really don't need (or have room for) a bunch of Cherry black switches. Sacrilege, I know, but bumps and clicks are important! Cherry brown, blue, green, white, and clear are my favorite Cherry switches, and if you notice, black isn't on the list. But I want to ask for one keycap, just to show the boards have *some* value.
Plus, the part about showing they were put to good use would mean at least they didn't get put in a drawer -- or worse, a dumpster! Making them spiffy and putting them on Ebay isn't a problem, if you can do it without the keycaps I will be taking from them.
Note that these will be Wyse keyboards with unusual plugs, like a DIN-10 or something that looks like RJ11, so you will need a Teensy or the equivalent of Soarer's converter to use them.
/Asking a bit in advance -- three of the keyboards are in transit, and I'm going on a vacation starting next week. I'm not even sure what the USPS charges for shipping. But I will probably sort things out toward the end of May.
// *Or a keycap that would fit an IBM/Unicomp buckling spring! Oh, man, that would be sweet!
