Introducing DCS Wyse Compatibility Kit 2024!
IC FORM HEREWelcome everyone and thank you for clicking on my IC for DCS Wyse Compatibility 2024. This is my first IC on Geekhack, so any feedback would be much appreciated!
Background:I have wanted to run this set for a while ever since I joined salt rock lamp's GB in 2020. I also have a PCE ISO Wyse keyset that I would love to use on my custom keyboards. I am hoping to bring support for old keysets with limited support into 2024.
Let's crack out those vintage keycaps!
History on Wyse:More
This is IC is for compatibility (Moogle style) kits that will allow you to use vintage Wyse keycaps with modern keyboard layouts.
There is a piece of text that I found on salt rock lamp's original IC which explains the history of Wyse keycaps:
The original keycaps are doubleshot ABS keycaps made by Comptec in the DCS profile. Comptec later became the familiar manufacturer Signature Plastics, who will be producing these compatibility kits. Original Wyse keycaps are widely available and usually very cheap.
More information can be found on the
Wyse Deskthority wikiThe kits:PCE / Bottom Row
Extensions
ASCII / DEC

I have tried to simplify the number of keys required for each layout, while also balancing max compatibility. It was difficult as I had to take some important keys out in order to reach a feasible price point. If there is anything you think I have missed out, please do not hesitate to reach out!
