WYSE WY60 ASCII Terminal Keyboard
Cherry MX Black, Double-Injection Molded Keycaps, 1987
The WYSE WY60 ASCII keyboard is an old terminal keyboard which originally came bundled with the WY60 series terminal computers.
I found this one in a storage room of a hospital new and still wrapped in plastic.
The keyboard is of very high build quality and uses Cherry MX Black switches. There are no diodes in the switches, so I assume the keyboard does not have full N-Key rollover... though diodes might be hidden in the circuit on the PCB.
This keyboard was made in 1987 and has been untouched ever since. Being a Terminal keyboard it is not compatible with PC scancodes. I plan to modify it to USB by using the Aikon controller some day.
