Nice, clean, simple - that's the way a keyboard ought to be.

I have a keyboard lying around that looks similar to yours, might be the colour.  Mine is from an old dumb terminal, except with a few extra terminal keys.  I pulled a couple of key caps off the other night and was amazed to find that it had Cherry MX black keys!  Discovery of the month!

I always liked that keyboard, and now I know why, although in comparison to the Ducky with MX blue keys that I have now, I now find the older keyboard to be a fair bit stiffer to type on.

How do you like your Wyse for general typing?

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

I haven't been able to use this keyboard. Mainly because it is a terminal keyboard and second because I don't have the know how to get it to work on a ps2 or usb port.

I do like the way it feels but for everyday typing I think it would start to wear me out. I do have a Cherry G80-11900 with MX Blacks that I use from time to time on a test machine at work. Switching between my Filco w/ MX Browns to the Black switches feels like I'm trying to play with old play doe. 

I do like using the blacks for gaming though.

I bought the WYSE keycaps from taobao. I really like the font, but the grey background seems to dark in comparison to my white coloured modifier keys because I lack a moogle kit. (photos in signature) Oh well, classy font makes up for it.

That Wyse keyboard looks to have the standard IBM 101 key layout. You sure it's not PC/AT compatible? It might just need a different cable.

That's in excellent shape, was it NIB? I have a 840358 (terminal PCE) and it's good, but needs some retr0brite (less than my other WYSE keyboards, though.

I like the size of the CTRL keys, and the fact that they're ever so slightly stepped on the side.

It wasn't NIB when I got it. I just clean the fun loving crap out of my keyboards. If you look closely at the key caps you can tell it's been used. I agree about the layout...I would miss the windows key at first but I would get used to it.

What is this "slight" modding I hear about?¿?
