This WYSE keyboard has cherry mx keycaps right?  Not the nice think doubleshots like the WYSE 60...but it still has doubleshots right?

Yes, it's an MX one. Even the 'thin' ones are still better than SP keycaps.

Oh nice...and really SP made them?  Cool well I just bought one and also a WY60 ASCII 840338-01 (which is the one with the thicker doubleshots right?)

There was 3 different thickness in Wyse boards from super thick to what SP makes now. The in between thick is the most common, imagine the thickness without the blue part of the sidewall in the above picture. Thats still like 2x thick as current SP keys.

I just received two from that seller.  Thin caps unlike my WY50 terminal board.  One is in fairly clean condition the other very dirty.  Both have paint splatters on several keys.  You can scrape the paint off but it takes a while.  I just needed the tab and ~ keys to complete my set (and the upcoming moogle kit).

I ordered a board from him last week. It should get here this week. We'll see how it goes. I asked him to send me the nicest one he had.

Risen from the dead for a model F.

Wyse buy colors were GSY for the dark grey, GBA for the light grey, and BBI for the fonts.

I recieved my second Wyse today (WYSE 840358-01).

My WY60 ASCII 840338-01 had thin DS keycaps throughout the board, but my WYSE 840358-01 had thick DS arrow keys (with the remaining keys on the WYSE 840358-01 being thin DS). I'll post pics later...the WYSE 840358-01 keys are currently getting a retrobrite treatment.

I just bought myself one of these, but it just occurred to me that I don't particularly like beige keycaps. Oh well, at I can probably still salvage the board for switches or something.
