Title: Suggestions for a new KB
Post by: varslot on Fri, 07 February 2014, 11:53:17
This is what I know I want so far:
I will probably go for a Ducky G2PRO, or Filco Majestouch 2, but I welcome other suggestions aswell.

Switches
I'm not 100% sure what switches I want yet. I ordered a Kit from WASD, so I guess I'll find it out when I get to test them all. For now I have used a MX Black KB, and the new KB is going to be mostly used for gaming aswell. I have tried MX Red, and those are just way too light for me, so no Red or Brown switches for me.

Keycaps
It is hard to find Norwegian, or even Nordic layouts, so I guess I can buy a blank KB, and rather buy additional keycaps. As mentioned, I want PBT, and they need to be Nordic or Norwegian.

I'm also asking for help to find vendors for borth the keyboard and keycaps.

There's the Filco you mentioned, in stock. That company also sells a Norwegian conversion kit, though it's all ABS. Not sure where to find PBT Norwegian keys...

Sorry, what? Tried to search for it, but nothing was related to KB. Could you post a link?

Satisfies one of his requirements, if he were to buy PBT keycaps for it.
