u should grab a set or two anyway. u'll appreciate that u did. coz first the resell values are pretty good. second u might find urself needing one down the road.

OK, one thing about getting those signature plastics (i.e. RBG set) or cherry corp profile keycaps. They will be a tad shorter (lower profile) than the typical ones found on Filco, Leopold, what have you. I am not sure about the WYSE profile. lysol will probably know better.

so u'll be in a world of adventure if u go for cherry corp keys.

Would you suggest any equivalent looking keys to replace the cherrycorp/wyse?

unfortunately cherry corp is the best in the world of ABS double shots for modern keyboards

this is what people are willing to do just to get a compatible caps lock key for their modern keyboard:

the thinner wyse DS were made by SP so their profile should be the same

they aren't sold, unless a member here sells them.

you'd have to buy a donor cherry board to get the keycaps.

or wait for ascaii to run his gb again

Hopefully I can find a cheap donor board.

OK i know this is going to break ur bank. But like i said, GH is only bad for your wallet if you are bad at controlling your spending :P

First get this,

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Cherry-MY1900-PS-2-POS-Keyboard-TESTED-/150697379982?pt=PCA_Mice_Trackballs&hash=item231643888e

 decent price, except u'll need to clean it and hopefully it is not too worn out. If you have problem with the PF1 2 3 key whatever... then maybe it is not for you. But if u are only going after the alphas then u should be good.

Second, depending on what you want to do... it seems u want to have a black surround to your white keys... then u'll need to spend more or a lot more to match the profile of ur cherry keys. U'll need to find a black donor board on ebay, which is easier than finding a white one. or u can ask around here

If u just want to replicate white beige cherry double shot, ur life is a lot easier. go to moogle kit group buy and order a kit to replace the incompatible keys from cherry corp. The incompatible keys include:  modifiers (alt ctrl etc), space bar and caps lock or more depending on where u harvest them from.

Regarding to the key compatibility, If you go for a full size G80 POS black board then u'll only have space bar that is not compatible. However u'll spend a lot more to get a hand on those. If u go for G81 black double shots, again u'll need to get a black moogle kit to make things close to perfect.

27 Euro + 5Euro shipping that is a bit more than 35USD. Plus ascaii  mentioned there might be a slight price increase. but u are right, the condition will probably be better.

Those just look pretty bad that's all and also the home cluster business.

At least with ascaii you know it's decent :D

If you end up buying a WYSE set, check out the Group Buy I'm running to get keys that you will likely need for a full set.
