==Introduction==

The G80-1502 is a special keyboard with a card reader for German health insurance cards ("Krankenversichertenkarte"). It is therefore only available with German key legends. The Layout and the keycaps are like at modern [[Cherry G80-3000]] keyboards with Windows keys. It is the successor to the G80-1501HAD.

Despite the model number being Cherry G80-1502L'''Q'''EDE, the switches are always [[Cherry MX Black]].

==Disassembly==

There a plastic hooks on the backside which have to be pressed to one side to open the keyboard. If you don't want to take out the card reader, you don't need a screw driver but you will need something to press the plastic hooks to one side. The card reader is fixed with two star screws.
