Title: ebay: WYSE 50/350 cherry MX black switches and doubleshots
Post by: ishtob on Sun, 09 October 2011, 07:00:13

clean looking WYSE 50/350 keyboard. around $30 shipped, it got the cherry mx black switches and a nice dark blue/white caps.
but most likely will need a moogle kit or something for the modifier and shift/enter/tab

Here it is (http://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-WYSE-50-350-KEYBOARD-CHERRY-SLIDER-terminal-/290616341149?pt=PCA_Mice_Trackballs&hash=item43aa15729d#ht_4910wt_1090)

Not PC compatible, but the key caps are nice to put on other keyboards.

I really like WYSE's arrow keys. If they are doubleshot as well, then this looks like a pretty good deal for the keycaps.

I've had by eye on the WYSE boards from ebay for a week or so now, looking for a set.

Pity it's not PC compatible, though :(

(cost with shipping would be $27.90 here)

Yes, arrow keys are doubleshots. Very nice, I have my own set of them on an Access keyboard.

There are more compatible caps on the wy60 without the stepped weirdness (unless you like that) or are only interested in a 37 set more or less. They are nice caps though and a decent price. Only a little more than I paid for the WY60 I got mine off.
