I recently got a Marquardt keyboard from the HEROS System of the German Bundeswehr and wanted to share some pictures with you.
The build quality is really good. To casing is like 6mm thick. 8)
The keys are double shot and platemounted.
I have made some detailed pictures of the PCB components as well. Just ask, if you're interested in them...

Price there is 24,95€ + shipping (5,90€, Germany only).
You can buy them
there for 15,90€, German shipping included. The seller still has 8 of them in this listing, but I suppose he might have even more.
By the way, the switches are Marquardt switches, and the keycaps are (thin)
Cherry MX compatible doubleshots.
I would offer to proxy, but really have no time to handle this at the moment. Anyone else?

Is it possible to use the case from this one for a G80-3000 PCB?

For 16€ I do want, but im way over in Canada. Would anyone in Germany know how much something like this would cost to ship there? If I could find a proxy.

Yes, maybe I'll do that. But I thought I ask first, maybe someone has already tried it.

Marquardt switches? (Which I am led to believe are all linear)
No switch pictures above :P

Actually if you do have Marquardt switches, you could disassemble one for the wiki:

No pictures there of the internals.

This has been done before:

I sent lam47 a message, and asked if I could add his pictures to the wiki.
I will add some pictures to the miniergo wiki article as well. Including dissassembly pictures...

That's assuming that both have the exact same switch.

It's such a shame that they feel awful, as the same keyboards with cherry switches would be fantastic

I don't know the layout is still meh. But indeed if you don't care about portability the build quality is excellent.

Thank you for the proxy offer but I must decline. December is already too heavy for the wallet. ^_^

Just finished my adapter. It's functional - not more, not less

But the mouse uses the old serial port protocol, that will be a bit more work.
