Welcome back to geekhack :)

Saw you on the other stuff you made and just thought to say hi here.

What boards do you have?
keyboard collection - fjell
More
cherry blacks - unlubed - filmed and springswapped with tx 55g mediums - alu Plate | pretty happy with this, the blacks were cherry picked so they weren't that scratchy to begin with, but currently breaking them in, may lube them with a dry lube like ro59 or ptfe powder.
| hhkb bt
More
lubed with tribosys 3203 | like topre a lot, prefer it lubed but did make less tactile but that might have been a skill issue. probably will get more tactile over time as the domes age.
| m0115
More
bad orange alps lol | definitely needs a restoration. planning on wax boiling them and maybe a replacement pcb because the board has only 2 key rollover apparently.
| praxis
More
gateron yellows - lubed with 205g0 - 62g tx mediums - pc plate | probably my favourite keyboard already, feels super nice and sounds pretty good, it's got a great layout as well. probably gonna build this with mx browns, I feel like it would suit the board more.
| camo filco
More
stock with silent reds | Pretty cool looking board, the silent reds are actually good, they are smooth and I don't mind the mushiness (it's not even that mushy as well). the layout is pretty weird, but is useable. will probably mod this in the future. maybe a pcb and plate swap, change the keycaps to something dolch like, and also spring swap the springs in the silent reds.
| ibm model f at
More
stock, needs a cleaning and probably replacement foam. Do plan to change layout so it has split bs and rs, as well as ansi enter.
| baebae tkl
More
Built with new nixies on pc half plate. Love this board already, probably the best looking board I own, those brass accents are so mint. Really like it as is, but I do want to try an alu build (probably with nixies as well) just to experiment with that.

Hi  :cool:
For a while I've been pretty happy with my Varmilo VEM88 V2 with EC Rose switches.
I'm looking at getting some custom keycaps. Not many to find for nordic ISO layout..

Hi  :cool:

nordic layouts are far more limiting in sets but there is still some sets out there. There aren't too many more budget oriented options that I could find.

The one that I would recommend personally is gmk norde, comes in a couple of colourways and should have the kitting, for a keyset it's expensive but the quality is extremely good (I have gmk on my mechanical keyboards and they are great)

You can get them here - https://oblotzky.industries/products/gmk-cyl-norde?variant=44609459781900

good luck with finding the caps you are looking for though, if this doesn't help  :)
