What the Nordic layout is
Nordic is a single key set serving Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden at once. The shape is the same ISO as an Estonian board – a tall Enter and an extra key beside the left Shift – but Å sits next to Enter and Ä and Ö come in a different order. There is no Õ printed on any cap. This is the layout that reaches the Baltics most often, which is why the choice here is wider than with Estonian engraving.
- Estonian still works. Set the Estonian layout in your system and a Nordic board types every accented letter.
- The same ISO shape. Your hand keeps its habits around Enter and Shift, unlike on an ANSI board with a US layout.
- Mechanical boards exist. The Razer Ornata V3, Corsair K65 Plus Wireless and the aluminium Keychron Q1 Max all come as ISO Nordic.
- Apple and iPad. The Magic Keyboard with Touch ID and a numeric keypad, and the iPad Air keyboards, carry Swedish legends.
Nordic or Estonian engraving
The choice is simple: if you look at the keys while typing, take the Estonian layout. If you touch-type, or you want a mechanical gaming board, Nordic serves just as well – the layout is changed by the system, not by the keyboard.

Frequently asked questions
Can I write Estonian on a Nordic keyboard? Yes. Switch the Estonian layout on in your system and every accented letter lands correctly; the legends simply will not match all of them.
Where is Õ? On an Estonian board it sits next to Enter; a Nordic key set puts Å there.
Are there mechanical boards with a Nordic layout? There are: the Razer Ornata V3 and Ornata V3 X, the Corsair K65 Plus Wireless and the Keychron Q1 Max.
