[IC] DALCO 959 Mini | A High-end 60

[catamscott]

this just looks so damn good. the side profiles were what caught my attention first, but even the rear accent, the front lip, the round corners and sleek flat back, everything just looks so damn good. i'm imagining amount of units will be pretty limited and the price will probably be fairly high so i won't get in on this, but it looks like a stellar board

Any plans for HHKB edition? This looks awesome but I need those blockers

[dantambok]

yes

[Neostoic]

So excited for this, just hope I can get my hands on one!

[Rebral]

Simple and beautiful.

No HHKB this time around, only standard and WKL.

Lovely Board but no ISO makes me sad.

I will still try to get one though and maybe a custom plate.

Me and DaleSnail had a discussion and decided that Dalco 959 Mini will be available in both ANSI and ISO configurations. However, we stand firm that you can have any colour as long as it's silver. 

[TypicalOranges]

i love u dalco

[Jo_hannes]

Okay, with ISO compatibility added, this has just become extremely interesting! I mean seriously, a Porsche-inspired keeb without ISO would have been a pretty harsh contradiction. /Johannes

[BIG_BUCKNUT]

this is the way

[dangboy]

I'm in but only if silver is a color option

Way to listen to the feedback!

More feedback - MAKE A LOT OF THESE. They're going to sell. (please?)

[kidpid]

Please offer an HHKB version 

[crusader_alex]

Absolutely gorgeous, well done!

I conceded on this based on the porsche theme, because I do agree it was a bit odd not to offer it considering the roots of the board haha.
Less is more though

Looks really good, you really got that weight all the way to the edge of the board. Hope to see this make it to GB.

The clean look and side curve! 

[Alchemist Keyboards]

Beautiful board. Great work guys!

[santela]

Wow, the design looks absolutely amazing. It oozes premium quality. The only thing I wish wasn't there is the seam on the sides, but nonetheless it's one of the most beautiful boards I've ever seen.

[Vigrith]

Good **** Dale

[nicx]

Probably the nicest 60% ive ever seen.

[basedRNC]

Have you considered WKL support? For gamers, a 60% with either a HHKB or WKL option is ideal.

For gamers....  ..... ..... ..... Ok if you aren't putting Speed silver in it, then you are not a real gamer.

I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone. What the ****

Not for everyone, but for me and a few other gamers I know, we all prefer WKL or HHKB. Most of us game on Polaris WKL or HHKB pros.

I’d prefer to not have a meta key that can accidentally minimize my games, or that I have to unbind to avoid that.

Damn, I'm blind and totally missed that. I'm in! Thanks!

I'm at a loss for words.

I'm not sure what's more confusing, buying programmable keyboard intentionally but trying to justify not wanting to spend the tenth of a second it takes to reprogram the meta key or taking anecdotal evidence from one's friend up to declare that "gamers" prefer WKL/HHKB layouts over x or y.

Anyway, moving on.

My original reply was a broad generalisation, and as I mentioned in my previous post that's obviously not true in that it's not for everyone.

The justification is pure preference. I don't care if I can reprogram the key, I just don't want it there if I'm essentially reprogramming to disable. And I know there are certainly others in the community who share this view point.

For real. I game a lot and need that left control key under my pinky. I've tried gaming on my HHKB before and it was hell so now it's my work board. I can see not wanting a windows key though, but you could just program it to Fn. Via makes this super easy to do.

WKL looks great, feels great and gives you that extra level of protection against the dreaded winkey. But for real, it mostly comes down to what you’re used to (or what you’re willing to learn). Go with your heart!

Looks like a great design! Will follow the thread for group buy announcement / pricing :-)

[Mcnos]

[binepad]

Wow, impressive.
