[IC] DALCO 959 Mini | A High-end 60
« on: Thu, 08 October 2020, 20:22:47 »

253276-0



I'm happy to finally present the Dalco 959 Mini:
A High-end Porsche 959 inspired 60  

We've worked to capture the brilliant industrial aesthetic of the Porche 959, while staying true to the iconic simplicity of keyboard designers before us.
The side profile is inspired by the elegant curves of the 959, bringing elements of this classic style into a modern keyboard.
The weight and rear accent are exaggerated but tasteful, scratching that itch for more brass and steel most of us have. We hope you enjoy!

Looks fancy enough that I don't mind the lack of HHKB.

I don't think I'll be pursuing this. I'm quite interested in the benefits of ortholinear and splits now.

But again, for the name.

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 :)

No HHKB this time around, only standard and WKL.

WKL is hhkb for cool kids

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.  :thumb:

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

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.

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

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.

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!

The OP did not fulfill multiple orders from his earlier groupbuys for filco plates/foam. The GB began in Jan 2020; it's been so long I don't actually remember when the estimated fulfillment time is, but it's way past due. When we asked him, he would say everything is ready for shipping, but follow that with radio silence. After awhile, he just stopped responding completely.

He also seemed to have abandoned his older discord (not the one posted in this thread).

This project had 3 international orders left to ship that admittedly went off of my radar. I've since shipped these out today with extras, and I've waived the shipping fees.

It’s missing the iconic integrated spoiler. I hear the spoiler adds 50wpm to your typing speeds.

I'm happy to finally present the Dalco 959 Mini:
A High-end Porsche 959 inspired 60  

We've worked to capture the brilliant industrial aesthetic of the Porche 959, while staying true to the iconic simplicity of keyboard designers before us.
The side profile is inspired by the elegant curves of the 959, bringing elements of this classic style into a modern keyboard.
The weight and rear accent are exaggerated but tasteful, scratching that itch for more brass and steel most of us have. We hope you enjoy!

Also to the person who posted before me, please edit your message so it doesn't quote the whole original post.

Yes.  Not quite sure why no one updated the thread here, but the limited Group Buy raffle on the Koi Raffle system happened last night.  Hundreds of entries with 50 boards available.  All invoices have been sent out.

It's unfortunate, but the demand for keyboards now has changed the game.  If you're really interested in a board, you will most likely need to join the discord server of the group buy runner and stay up to date there.  There's too much going on now for some of these things to stay updated across multiple platforms.  When that happens, it's generally the faster moving platform like discord that wins out.  I'm not saying that's good or bad.  It's just the way things are currently.

Thanks for the explanation. Yeah, I can totally see that. There are several discord channels that I join and indeed the flow of information is just way way faster there. Well, it is what it is, it is unfortunate that I could not even join the raffle, but it also means my wallet is not getting lighter (for now).

Enjoy for all winners out there! My quest for a 60% endgame continues
