'''Wyse ASCII keyboard''' is a [[Wyse]] terminal keyboard designed for the Wyse 60 terminal. The Wyse ASCII keyboard is very similar to the [[Wyse 50 keyboard]], but without the stepped keycaps and with a 4P4C modular connector instead of 10-pin DIN. The Wyse ASCII also has the same layout as the [[Wyse ANSI]]; the difference between these two is not known, only that the Wyse 60 terminal has both ASCII and ANSI personalities.
