Title: Is there a good list of Wyse keyboards with Cherry switches?
Post by: Snarfangel on Fri, 24 April 2015, 19:44:48

I was looking on Ebay, and it's confusing. I just want some nice keycaps, but I don't really want to ruin a nice board that someone might want to stick a Soarer on and refurbish. Plus, I'm cheap. :))

Generally all older WYSE boards have MX Blacks and nice caps.

Look for ones with yellow arrows. PCE boards will be the closest to a traditional 101 layout, but you'll need to find a bottom row and Caps Lock.  You'll need even more keys if you get a terminal board, but those are likely to have thicker doubleshots while the PCE caps will be thin.

That is a beautiful board. I would feel very guilty stripping it for keycaps.  :))

I could sell you the keys for 20$ and then strip it for switches ;)

So most older ones should have vintage switches?
