Hello! I'm new here, and I wanted my first post to be about one of the very few keyboards I currently have, a WYSE terminal keyboard that appears to have been rebadged for a local medical company, CPSI. The keyboard has double-shot keys with blue characters, uses Cherry MX Black switches, and it is one of my favorites, though I just can't use it practically due to its strange DIN connector. I picked it up locally, and I've never seen it mentioned anywhere, so I thought I'd share it!

Welcome! That looks like a Wyse 50.
People have managed to make the Wyse 50 work with a modern computer. You can read about using Soarer's controller and see how Chyros connected his.

Ok! I'll take a look!

Beautiful keyboard, and it looks like a pretty fun and usable layout - you should try to convert it.

The font and legends above the F keys are amazing, i'm a huge fan.

Wyse 50s are beautiful keyboards! I recently came across this keyboard in a pile I picked up to desolder. I have never seen caps like these on a Wyse before. Connector is a standard terminal jack.

This is my rebadged Wyse WY50 keyboard. I put some Tai Hao blue and black doublshot keycaps

Would you sell the chassis?

I love all these WYSE-50's pics. i really like the layout of these boards, basically a 65% with a numpad.. kinda AT layout evolved, heh. Also it seems like these WYSE-50's were bought and reskinned by some interesting companies in interesting ways. The body looks tough and well constructed. The legend/badge area at the top gives a lot of possibilities and MX keycaps is great for customization aswell. Great looking industrial cord... too bad about the connector though.

And would you sell the (remaining) keycaps?

Sure.
