I have a kind of... peculiar request for one of you guys. I found a pretty good WYSE set on eBay, but most of my money is tied up, so I don't feel totally comfortable buying it right now. If one of you could buy it and then ship it to me, I'll knock the price off your end result invoice. I'd prefer it be someone I've dealt with before, but beggars can't be choosers. I understand it's kind of a weird request, but worst case scenario I'll just end up color matching to litster's pictures.

Here's another idea. I send you one of my WYSE keysets I already have if you want EDIT: for you to keep. I have the full keyboard or just the keys alone EDIT: for you to keep. I've cleaned the keyboards and keys. We can work something out if you want a set EDIT: for you to keep. The keyboards are model # 840338-09.

EDIT: I should have been more clear! :peace:

Peace

demik · « **Reply #103 on:** Sun, 11 March 2012, 22:31:12 »

for him to keep? that's what im getting at from his message.

as in, it'll be his. not just to color match. unless i'm mistaken, then i apologize.

Yep, to keep. It would indeed be his. I'd want to work a deal with him of some sort.

That's generous!

I'm interested in the WYSE set that Quarzac saw on ebay. Is it okay if I buy that? I'll be very happy to keep it if this deal goes through, and if not, I'll be happy to send it off to Quarzac.

If it's the same one, the seller has something like 18 boards, so I'd say go right ahead.

Quarzac, I'm in for one base kit. Just want to make sure there is no confusion.

Quarzac · « **Reply #110 on:** Mon, 12 March 2012, 14:59:15 »

Any confusion was cleared up. Also, I ended up making it to the bank, so I bought my own WYSE set. Thanks for the offers though! I should have colors matched soonish.

Hey Quarzac -- I don't see my order on the list yet, did you get my PM?

lan123 · « **Reply #114 on:** Tue, 13 March 2012, 03:06:03 »

go ogo go ogo more more more !! LOL extened this for a few more days.

37$ compare to 21$ is far apart!!! Lol.

Ovoxo · « **Reply #115 on:** Tue, 13 March 2012, 04:05:34 »

If everyone doubled there order you can reach 75. And would be paying $1 more for 2 sets compared to 1.

Hi, shot you a PM.

Quarzac · « **Reply #117 on:** Tue, 13 March 2012, 08:58:43 »

Just to be clear, this buy will close on Friday. I was going to close it on Sunday, but I made plans this weekend, and I want to spend what time I do have preparing to ship and collect money. Sorry, folk. Also, in the event that 25 orders are not reached, the addon kit will be dropped. Again, sorry, but I don't think SP will produce less than 25 orders, and even if they would, I don't want to have to get new price quotes and run them by people only to inevitably have people drop because of the higher price, and thus reduce the orders more so.

I heard that before on another keycap group buy thread! :-) And it is true!

If you have seen the KMAC's aluminum cases, Wyse with moogle kit would look very good it, especially with the titanium anodized case. It would be a very industrial look.

You would need the 1.5 addon kit and a Phantom with PHANSI or PHISO layout, or the base kit plus a Filco tenkeyless, and of course an aluminum case from Swede.

Should we take a pole? Majority rule. Everyone get double your order for another buck or possibly loose Add-on set entirely?

I'm in favor.

I will double my order!

x2 ! come on people!

message ppl with orders, tell them the situation, if I hadn't checked I wouldn't have known.

korne · « **Reply #122 on:** Tue, 13 March 2012, 14:18:01 »

well 1$ if we double... go for it lol

dirge · « **Reply #123 on:** Tue, 13 March 2012, 14:21:45 »

Worst case you sell your spare set and make half your money back (or more depending on greed) in a few months.

demik · « **Reply #124 on:** Tue, 13 March 2012, 14:25:00 »

I wouldn't be a good GHer if I didn't join this gb.

I shall put in my order later today.

litster · « **Reply #125 on:** Tue, 13 March 2012, 15:07:33 »

I am already ordering 2 sets. I am not sure if I want to double my order again. If everyone has to, then I will lower my order to 1 set and you can double it for me! haha!

sth · « **Reply #126 on:** Tue, 13 March 2012, 15:09:09 »

I am down to double if I am the deciding factor. I can't afford/justify two sets at current pricing, though.

I have a WYSE set and an SP color ring. If we haven't yet decided on colors I can take some pictures.

Likewise. But WHICH Wyse are we talking about here? I pulled the keycaps off of my old wy50. They look great on my camp Filco TKL, but the modifier keycaps don't fit. These are all BROWNISH tones. I understand that some WYSE boards had grey tones. I do not want gray.

Quarzac · « **Reply #128 on:** Tue, 13 March 2012, 16:20:13 »

Alright, so after checking out the picture of the color wheel and litster's pictures, I could only really settle on BFU for the text. Can someone with a color wheel and a wyse set try to match the dark grey?

Brown? I thought WYSE sets were grey. Mine look grey and dark grey to me. I haven't cleaned them though.

Sorry, I forgot I said I would do this. Will do it in a bit and post in the thread. Captain should probably do the same since he's concerned about the colors.

Experts: Is there more than one WYSE color scheme, or is it just a matter of aging and yellowing?

tsangan · « **Reply #130 on:** Tue, 13 March 2012, 16:48:34 »

I've already double down

Everyone else, just do it instead of saying you will do it when everyone does it, which basically is a endless cycle. It will reach the 75 set mark but if everyone does nothing but talk it won't happen, simple as that

DOUBLE DOWNNNN

litster · « **Reply #131 on:** Tue, 13 March 2012, 16:53:49 »

People, order more to get us to 50 sets, then we will shoot for 75 next!

In unrelated news, I had one of those once. They're quite tasty.

I think there is only one Wyse color scheme. For a moogle kit, most (all?) of the keys in the kit we will make will be in the darker modifier color, which is not affected by yellowing as much as the lighter number and alpha keys.

sth · « **Reply #134 on:** Tue, 13 March 2012, 16:56:52 »

I am pretty sure I can do it, so I will, but I would like to see an update to the orders list as well :/

captain · « **Reply #135 on:** Tue, 13 March 2012, 17:02:06 »

These are from a WYSE WY50:

[ Attachment Invalid Or Does Not Exist ] 42534[/ATTACH] [ Attachment Invalid Or Does Not Exist ] 42535[/ATTACH] [ Attachment Invalid Or Does Not Exist ] 42536[/ATTACH]

Brownish, not grayish. Compare the black and white of the new Filco keys for color balance.

tsangan · « **Reply #136 on:** Tue, 13 March 2012, 17:07:48 »

Looks like those keys has been in the sun for too long

captain · « **Reply #137 on:** Tue, 13 March 2012, 17:25:28 »

I would be in on this if the colors matched, but I don't need GREY keys.

What are the SP color codes these will be in? Shouldn't that be in the OP?? ;-)

BTW, isn't the Filco space bar 6x, not 6.25x?

Or his white balance is off.

Below is a picture of original yellowed keys (top) and oxycleaned keys (bottom) with a Whitebal card in shot. You can use your favorite photo editing software and get it to white balance correctly using the whitebal card in the picture.

Please give me the SP ABS chip colors that this GB run is going to use. Anyone?

With Wyse, unless you have a NIB copy, you are not going to get 100% color match because most used caps are yellowed to different degrees. But, you can see your set's original order if you look under the cap, where the ABS plastic didn't get any UV exposure.

15 units for the bottom row, 7 keys are 1.25 units leaving the space bar 6.25 units long

Ok. I verified with DT and GB4 that Filco space bar is 6.25x

None of them looked close to me, unfortunately. I'll take my samples home tonight and look again in better light. (I'm in my work dungeon now).
