Title: Ergo Keyboard with Marquardt Linear Switches
Post by: nubbinator on Sun, 18 January 2015, 01:11:45

I debated making an offer on this because it's kind of a cool and unusual keyboard, but decided I have enough right now and would rather pay off another student loan first.

Anyways, here it is, $60 plus shipping OBO

Some Marquardt linear switches are MX compatible, so you could do some fun things with the board.

I saw this a bit ago and put in an offer, but I'm not really expecting to get it. It is a neat board, I’m pretty sure Webwit has one.

In that case, good luck and I hope you get it.  I lost out on the Xerox.  Someone paid full price for it.

I also linked obra (keyboard.io guy). He’s much more of an ergo keyboard collector than I am, and lives across the Bay, so if he grabs one I can always try typing on it. :-)

Edit: he bought one, so now I don’t feel at all bad if my offer doesn’t make it. (But would still be happy to snag one for the lowball offer I made... we’ll see how it goes.)
