Title: Want to reuse old WYSE keycaps
Post by: gotofbi on Mon, 28 April 2014, 20:41:36: Hello.

I just bought Wyse keyboard from ebay and I realize that keycaps are pretty nice.

I want to reuse lettter+number+F1~12 keys but I dont know how to find rest of keys that fits as same height.

Do I need Wyse Moogle Kit to fill the blank?

I want to finsih keyboard as winkey without numpad(87 or 86 keys depends how I can fill missing keys)

Somebody please help me

Thank you

Thank you for your reply Pacifist.

Is this image Wyse Moogle Kit??

One last question, from the picture of Wyse keyboard that I posted, I see that "~" key and "ESC" are located in different row.

Wouldnt it make a different height compare with other row if I place them into original cherry 3000 style??

That screen capture looks like from techkeys.us, but they are no longer in stock.

Maybe send i3oilermaker a PM to ask if they are coming back any time soon.

Otherwise classifieds.

Its the same company that made the keys on Wyse so as far as everything else matching up it will be no problem.

Only thin. SP doesn't make thick double shot DCS profile keycaps. The WYSE originals were made by Comptec.
