How does the Marquardt feel? Would it be worth modding into a USB board? The layout and caps are very interesting.

is there a way to mod the Hall effect board to USB or PS/2 to use it on a modern computer?

They feel like very smooth vintage blacks. I don't know how hard will it be to convert it, or even if it's possible.

I've seen it done, but every board is different, from what i understand. But apparently, someone out there managed to convert the same keyboard as mine, at least it looks the same apart from the casing, but i can't find the source of the article: https://vintagecomputer.ca/honeywell-micro-switch-keyboard/
