Beautiful. That's actually a nice Nordic layout too.

Yeah. Nordic layout is a pain in the ass when it comes to custom keyboards... Fortunately this set is available in a Finnish store, so it gets delivered in a day or two, and for only 60€.

Yes, I usually go for a country-specific layout like FI/SE. The "Pan-nordic" compromise designs is often sloppy, the accent and angle bracket keys usually looks like shit. This is suprisingly elegant. The Ö and Ä keys works well too.

Yeah, I prefer FI/SE over this. I had some DSA keycaps with FI/SE legends before this, but I weren't a big fan of DSA in the long run, and they didn't really fit this case.

Anyway, I do like this specific keycap set. They feel very good, and they are (relatively) cheap, and available. The legends are good too imo, although not my preferred.

I am switching to ansi when my Mode Sonnet arrives. Screw not being able to get keycaps or hotswap PCBs...Well i still need the nordic alphas, but atleast i dont have to worry about the stupid enter.

himynameismiika OP t1_j1amrbl wrote

Yeah! I have thought about this so many times. I kind of also want to do the switch, but then again I looove the big Enter!

That new fractal case looks nice but unfortunately doesnt go well with my current set up

I’ve been looking for a new case for a while. I had the Corsair Crystal 570X, which is a really good case, but didn’t really fit my livingroom anymore. Also I never attended lan-parties with it, because of the glass.

When Fractal released this case, I knew instantly that this is the one case to fit my livingroom. Bought it instantly.

How happy are you with the case build and airflow wise?
I'm really interesed in buying one but i'm not 100% sure currently.

himynameismiika OP t1_j18pbkp wrote

Coming from the Corsair Crystal 570X, I must say the North build quality isn't as good as the 570X. Don't get me wrong though, the North build quality is still good, I would say.

My airflow setup is 2x140mm Noctua on the side panel, 2070s on a vertical bracket, and 2x120mm through AIO on the top. This leads to a neat, but unconventional airflow from side to top, and it works very well.
No fans on front or back.

nice thanks for the info. I guess that case would be a huge upgrade for my H510

As someone who does a lot of woodworking, walnut always looks good.

Thanks. They are pretty basic when it comes to price and availability in Finland. I am very pleased with them though!

So you're the one that snagged the Fractal North case out of my Newegg cart before I could finish checking out...

himynameismiika OP t1_j1ap03n wrote

I am sorry to disappoint, but unfortunately no. We have plenty of them in Finland!

Lothgar818 t1_j1aqawo wrote

I guess that makes sense. Much shorter boat ride.

Big fan of that Fractal case. Might snag the white one for my next build.

how did you manage to snag a Fractal North?

2

himynameismiika OP t1_j1hnh7s wrote

We have lots of them in Finland. Fractal is a Swedish company, so I guess it’s easy for Finnish retailers to get their hands on them. I can order one, and get it pretty much the next day.

Where did you get the tofu 60 walnut case from? i cant find it on kbdfans.

2

himynameismiika OP t1_j1th16j wrote

I got it from maxgaming.com. It’s a Swedish company, so it arrived in just a few days to me in Finland, and I didn’t have to deal with customs.

Damn, i messaged customer service and the said that they dont have plans for restocking it 😭
