DCS Wyse Compatibility Kit 2020, aka Moogle kit 2020
This is a compatibility kit for Comptec DCS keycaps from vintage Wyse keyboards. These are gorgeous doubleshot ABS keycaps with a classy and subtly colorful aesthetic. The new kits will be produced by Signature Plastics. I am hoping to continue the long tradition of Moogle kits with a modern group buy at accessible prices, but with higher quantities than in the past. Let's save vintage keycaps from the garbage dump!
For a "beginner introduction" to what this is all about, refer to
my post on Reddit.

iLumKBThe PCE kit is sufficient for using keycaps from keyboards with the "PC Enhanced" (aka "PCE") layout. The ASCII kit provides additional compatibility for "ASCII" layout keyboards such as from the WY60 and WY30 terminals. The Future kit is for additional compatibility with various modern keyboard layouts.
ASCII and Gate Array keycaps also have text-only modifier legends in a nonstandard top-left position, while the PC Enhanced keycaps have text+icon modifiers in standard center-left position. Signature Plastics DCS legends are positioned center-left, so I am choosing legends to match the PC Enhanced design. The ASCII and Gate Array modifiers will still look good with this kit, but it won't be a perfect 1:1 match.
Note that ASCII-layout keycaps tend to be in worse condition than others. I will do my best to color match across Wyse variants, but brand-new ABS will never match the appearance of well-worn and sun-yellowed ABS.
