[ebay] NIB Wyse PCE Keyboard 840358-01
« on: Mon, 05 November 2012, 07:18:58 »
Unlike the typical WYSE keyboard on ebay, it looks like the key caps aren't yellow.

Good luck! I hope you get it. If it has vintage blacks you don't want, let me know. :D

It will probably have a mix of vintage and modern blacks. It's good to tell the differences, but you need to separate them out, which is a pain.

I have 2 of these, NIB, made in 1993. The whole board use the same switch top housing, same small Cherry font.
Here is a close up shot taken by heliar of the switch top


Can't confirm whether all of them are vintage or otherwise, but they feel much smoother than the QFR with blacks that I have.
Hope this helps.

Not many were made during the first round.
Many people bought 2 sets for the price of 1. Basically, everyone ordered X amount of sets, but the price stayed the same if you ordered 2X, and everyone, I think, did so. You can try to ask for it I guess.

There was a recent KBDMania Group Buy that concluded, so there should be more sets around now.

Of course.  A cool 81 beans.  Somebody already has dibs on the board and switches.  I'm harvesting most of the keycaps.  Probably don't need the modifiers and spacebar.

Did you need anything specific?

nice board but way too expensive for wyse... congrats  on the win though, hopefully you can make the money back from someone who still thinks vintage blacks are special :P
