I have a classic WYSE DCS set, paired with a Moogle kit that allows it to be used on a modern keyboard.
Currently, it is on a 100% keyboard. But the Numpad “0” “Insert” key has gone missing. It’s the 2U key below the 123.
I would like to order some kind of key to replace it. But I’d like it to go with the board [black].
Is it possible to obtain individual DCS keys of that type? Since an original Wyse or Moogle kit is unlikely to be available, I’d be willing to order blanks. Maybe something beige, gray, or black to fit in. Is that obtainable?

You can order individual DCS keys through Signature Plastics for $5 each, in one of the colorways they’re currently stocking. Not sure if any are great matches to a Wyse board, but in terms of font and profile, they’ll line up.
The black or white numberpad set in this listing might be the best to order it from?
I’ve been working with them on a Wyse replica set called DCS SMRT for the past couple months, but it’s been in limbo while I wait for them to get back to me about details. I imagine things have been very hectic there, as they’re in the process of being sold to a new owner. Hopefully that set will wind up running under the new ownership, but I imagine if/when it does, it’ll be in mid-late 2025. At that time, you’d be able to order an individual key from it that should be an exact match to the original Wyse.

Thanks! Those are two good options.
I am planning on ordering a full DCS SMRT set at some point. So maybe I could just add an additional Numpad Insert key. (Although, it would be whiter than my evenly-aged WYSE alphas.)

Could try sticking in direct sunlight for a week or two, and see if it yellows! I don’t know how readily that happens, but it might be worth a shot

Wow! I might have to purchase that immediately.
