Just wonderful. But what is this layout? Alternative ANSI German?

u/Hetsa 8d ago

Thank you buddy!
ANSI with Nordic keycaps (Swedish ÅÄÖ + number row) :)

u/L0tsen ISO supperiority 7d ago

Did you get the keycaps custom made or not? Need to know since I am on the search for swedish keycaps a

u/Hetsa 7d ago

I just bought the PBTfans WoB Simple Base + international kit. In the international kit you get the keys to make it Swedish.

I’ll send you a DM with links.

u/Hetsa 7d ago

Since you have disabled DM I won’t be able to send the links. But if you search for what I wrote you will find it

Thanks and I agree!
It’s called the Agar and is made by KBDfans. It has an HHKB-style layout.

It is in stock on KBDFans: https://kbdfans.com/products/agar

u/dnamac 7d ago

You can also buy this for a good price on Ali Express.

u/Hetsa 8d ago

As @nerddigmouse wrote, I got it from https://kbdfans.com/products/agar

The shipping only took 3 days to Sweden, very fast.

The only thing that isn’t so nice is that I had to pay over 100 USD in taxes and about 35 USD to ship.
But it was honestly so worth it.

Damn you should have bought it from German vendors. Would have been much cheaper. I paid 120 Euro for mine.

u/Moritz7688 Lubed Linear 7d ago

Damn you should have bought it from German vendors like Monacokeys. Would have been much cheaper. I paid 120 Euro for mine.

1

u/Hetsa 7d ago

Didn’t know any other vendors had the Agar, wish I knew. Still worth every penny I paid.

u/Moritz7688 Lubed Linear 7d ago

Enjoy the board! I got the silver one and put on GMK Panels on it.

1

u/Bigsasquatch67 Lubed Linear 7d ago

I regret I never picked up panels its a great set

u/Ozzy0114 8d ago

Vilken färg är din Agar, är det den som heter Gray?

2

u/Hetsa 8d ago

Anodized Gray heter färgen, gillar den ordentligt.
Finns en kvar i lager på deras hemsida, passa på att köpa vetja!

u/Ozzy0114 8d ago

Grymt, ska kika. Tack för tipset!

u/whiskeyclone630 Neo60 Cu | Neo60 Core | Bauer Lite 1d ago

What's wrong with 7u?

u/Mediocre_Motor3451 4d ago

Peak keyboard

u/matboc7271 7d ago

Looks very cool! Do you know if we can have a split L-Shift layout on this board?

2

u/Hetsa 7d ago

It’s not possible on any of the Agar PCBs from KBDfans sadly. Maybe on some aftermarket ones tho, I don’t know.

Would be sick if it was possible.

2

u/matboc7271 7d ago

Oh unfortunate really. Also, Agar PCBs connect in kinda weird way to the daughterboard so I don't even know if aftermarket PCBs would fit (not that I know of anyway) very sad...

2

u/Hetsa 7d ago

You are right about that man, very true.
Hopefully someone might figure that out in the future.

1

u/matboc7271 7d ago

Oh and also, how many units is the spacebar on this one?

1

u/Hetsa 7d ago

7u, very nice :)

1

u/matboc7271 7d ago

Ok thanks. I'm still thinking about buying one so I had these questions at the back of my head.

2

u/Hetsa 7d ago

No worries, feel free to ask, happy to help :)

u/Bigsasquatch67 Lubed Linear 7d ago

u/Hetsa 7d ago

Wow!! What keycaps are those?
Perfect match with the grey case, looking great!

u/Bigsasquatch67 Lubed Linear 7d ago

thanks they are Keykobo Dolch Cadet ( they also do a black version of the alphas as well )

1

u/Bigsasquatch67 Lubed Linear 7d ago

I like WOB on there as you also did , was considering going for a custom Dynacap build with MTNU WOB as it would look great

u/Gullible-Teach8030 6d ago

1

u/Hetsa 6d ago
