Hm..is that an MX black board?

I don't see why this is interesting. (No offense, just curious)

I had a sig once but it's gone. It used to display an icon of a Kinesis. Just imagine that.

Yes MX blacks. It's interesting because it is standard AT. These are pretty hard to find, as generally Wyse are terminal keyboard with rj11 and not usable without modding.

There are those who find the vintage MX switches to be smoother than modern ones.
The keyboard is also well constructed, although it does not have NKRO.
Some get Wyse keyboards just to harvest the key caps. The ones in the Wyse PCE are a bit thinner than the caps on the Wyse ASCII board, though.

It'd serve as a perfect 'board for me to put my thick doubleshots on.

ALso, naw that I know, I can search the parts dealers for the model number (900840).

Not gonna spend $80 on it, though.

This must've come with WYSE's fabled but short-lived line of PC's (not terminals).

You can get these brand new off taobao for a little bit more. This is not a good deal.

I want to mod one into tenkeyless.  It would look very nice.  Just haven't had time to do it.

The vintage switches in a board like this probably don't have the 'vintage switch feel' anymore. My WYSE doesn't while my G80 does but my G80 came from a high level clean room from a rarely used terminal.

If you live in AZ you can try my keyboards. I usually keep plenty of different ALPS and MX and buckling springs.

The old blacks with big Cherry logo have a very slight less angle on the stem legs, and the springs seem to be 2-3g lighter. I noticed it when I was fixing up an old Cherry board i got recently that had broken stems. The new ones I replaced them with feel different. So I was comparing them, side by side the old one is a little flatter. The old springs have less coil too. It's subtle, but its there.
