might be more 'fun' to replace the controller... could even do a custom point to point matrix like lowpoly's m0110

teensys are really popular but some people like the aikon controllers too.

Well, I got the WYSE. Nobody even bid, picked it up for $46.50 including shipping. Now we'll see just how good of shape it is in.

I do know from experience, unfortunatel, that no matter how nice the condition, the caps do get brittle. We will see. I am a little skeptical.

"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

It's only 9.75 units. There exist bigger.

Sweet deal! I'd say it's probably worth what you paid just for the NIB keycaps. Add a moogle kit and make something awesome. :p

Nice WY-60 keyboard. Take it apart, and tell us how old it is (If you like). I was looking up WYSE keyboards recently, and I saw this but didn't bid. I'm glad a GH'er got it, though

I was going to bid but just cleaned up a set of keys and got another dirty WYSE keyboard coming in the mail to clean up. Where is the fun in buying new? Nothing to restore :p

the appeal of yellowed and dirty wyse keys wore off after about the first set for me :P
