We have experienced more delays due to continued disruptions to the supply chain spanning across all industries. In particular with our manufacturers and material suppliers inundated with lockdowns. We are now working hard with our partners to ascertain how we can catch up on progress and appreciate your patience during this time. Here are some project updates:
DUCK Switches:
Prototypes of DUCK have landed and we are very happy with the results. We have fine tuned some minor details and the final samples are en-route. Excited to see how these switches will be applied during beta testing and general release. DUCK switches will be dropped in packs of 10 / 70 / 90 and can be added to pre-existing orders to save on shipping.
XO Team Caps:
We have received samples of the new generation XO Team Cap constructed with our own custom-made fabric. Some adjustments have been made to the shape and design elements (removing eyelets). These are already in production and will be available in-stock next month.
XO Saber:
Our May the 4th post generated a lot of traction for the RAMA WORKS Edition Saber. We are planning on introducing this as a contemporary art piece. The initial sample has been 3D printed with a metal prototype soon to follow once some modifications are made. We are thrilled to be adding more novelty / collectible items such as these to our catalog.
Doubleshot Keycaps:
The latest round of fine tuning has taken longer than expected as both our manufacturing partners and ourselves have been unhappy with the legends. These are very minor (and barely noticeable) inconsistencies between different injection molds on the production line. That being said, we wanted these to be exactly what we envisioned before mass production.
KARA SEQ 2:
The second iteration of the PCB has been completed and we’re waiting for them to arrive at our offices for final testing. Samples are on-track to ship at the end of the week.
Chess Set:
The packaging design has been finalized and we are expecting to receive a sample of this by the end of the month - we will update with photos when everything lands.
JARS:
Injection molding of the JARS has been completed.The gasket/seal that sits under the lid wasn't functioning as expected so these have had to be reworked. We are expecting the shipment to arrive at our warehouse in Melbourne next week and will be distributed to you guys shortly after.
M6-C / GRID Caps:
Dandy has been shipped to all of our distribution partners. Metropolis enclosures are complete and are currently being assembled. The GRID caps and other components for these are already packed and waiting. As soon as METROPOLIS arrives to our warehouse they will be quickly packed and sent to our distributors for shipment!
By popular demand, we have also released Grid Set C Keycaps in MUSK (pink), MOMO (Light Orange), and MINT (Minty Green), with the Group Buy ending May 31st. Pre-order here:

Select versions of the GRID SET A and GRID SET B are also available.
MATS: Pre-order open (IN PRODUCTION)
We are excited to introduce our new MATS, available exclusively through RAMA WORKS®. This improved desk mat comes in four different colourways, perfect for matching any keyboard and desk setup combination. Production has already begun and the estimated date for fulfillment will be 1-2 months after the group buy end date (31/May).

We have all been through a lot in the past few years. That is why the team at RAMA WORKS has decided to support Beyond Blue and donate all proceedings from the LOVE Edition to the cause. Beyond Blue is Australia’s most well-known and visited mental health organization, dedicated to supporting people affected by anxiety, depression and other related mental illnesses.
PENS:
The housings for PEN have been completed and the ink cartridges have cleared customs from Hong Kong to our manufacturing partners. These are now being assembled by hand to test the fitment of each individual unit. We are stoked to see this product come to fruition and look forward to getting these into your hands.
Updated THERMAL packaging with ROSE GOLD foiling
THERMAL SEQ2 / THERMAL+:
THERMAL enclosures are finished and are currently being assembled and packaged by our manufacturer. The PCB manufacturer has received the components (ATMEGA Chips / JST Cables etc) from our suppliers and will commence production when the units are sea freighted to our warehouse for Q.C.
