Nordic Axe themed, but it doesn't support ISO which is used in Nordic countries.
Also the ISO enter looks like an Axe so why not?
The main concern is the internal design that currently does not support ISO layout, but if there is a strong desire, we will try to support them in the future because haveing new silicon mold costs.

As a Dane, this annoys me way more than it should. lol.
Like keycaps with Futhark legends and Viking themes, but no NorDe add-ons. :))

But looking really special. Wish you all the best with the IC

Thanks for your advise, we will make it ISO compatible!
Cool!

we received all Alu parts quote, for now, we are waiting for brass quotes cause it's LNY now, so maybe it will take some time, but we definitely want to try more materials.

two questions come to mind :

What are the chances of adding split space bar support?

What does "future support for Bluetooth and battery" mean in practical terms?

for split spacebar, most likely no, and for Bluetooth and battery, we created the removable internal weights which get the room for the battery. We will have Bluetooth PCB for sale(no, we don't sell batteries due to legal concerns).

So how will the BT be implemented later on? will we have to buy another PCB?

the plan is to do soldering and hot swap PCB first, because the current PCB manufacturers are not very good at BT, so I can't guarantee that the first batch of PCBs will have BT function.

for split spacebar, most likely no

:( That's a huge shame. There are so many nice looking mid/high end 60% boards being produced these days but so few that support split space. It's not a super-niche thing but it would really help this stand out from the pack beyond mere aesthetic differences.
