I personally use a Estonian keyboard. I want buy a mechanical keyboard, but which do choose? Do i have to buy NA version or ND? And can somebody explain me what the NA means, I'm sure that ND stands for NORDIC. And which one do i have to choose for the same feeling and same layout.

NA = North American? Which would be weird, since it is usually referred to as US layout.

I am not familiar with Eastern European layouts, so not sure what kind of differences there are and if you actually want that or regular US layout?

 

Another thing to keep in mind, you have ANSI or ISO layout which you can recognize by it's Enter key. ISO has an Enter key that looks like an L (instead of just a horizontal bar like Shift, on ANSI boards). ISO is a European standard, but most gaming keyboards are international and choose the ANSI standard.

Judging by pictures online, it seems like an Estonian layout has a couple more letters on some keys, so if you're okay with not having that, go for it.

Yea, but of course you won't see the specific letters on your keyboard.
