NEMO / LNY & MORE

NEMO Packaging

The NEMO’s have completed machining and are in the final stages of surface finishing. The packaging has also arrived in our warehouse. We’re also working on extra inclusions to include with each order! The first batch release of NEMO is super important to us and we’re honoured to see these in peoples collections soon.

U80-A / THERMAL

We’ll have updates on the U80 and THERMAL after Chinese New Year, in a few weeks!

M60-A LNY Edition

Following the short-run limited release of the M60-A OLIVIA Edition, we've introduced the M60-A LNY Edition. Featuring a bold RACE Anodised aluminium enclosure with the double-happiness enamel filled Brass backweight.

M60-A SEQ2 now shipping! + Canvas 2

The M60-A SEQ2 units have now arrived on our warehouse, and we’ve already begun shipping units. We’re super excited to see these on peoples desks and what’s been done to personalise them! We appreciate everyone's patience as the units ship out - emails will be sent when the shipping labels are created. DHL Pickups are scheduled daily. If the shipping label has been created, but not picked up yet, then it has not been packed. We will be putting as many hours as we can to ship all units before our warehouse closes for the Christmas break on December 25th; however, we will return in the first week of January.
IF your address is incorrect on the shipment being sent out, a DHL Portal link is typically SMS’d or emailed to you upon pickup. From there you can change your shipping address; or you can call your local DHL Express number, quote your tracking number, and let them know of your new address then (only once the item has been picked up).

SEQ 2

We’re incredibly happy with how the SEQ2 units have come out - here are some photos we took of each edition!

KURO STEALTH

MOON STEALTH

HAZE

MILK

EXTRAS

Extra M60-A SEQ2 units will be available in January. Past this, the M60 will return with SEQ3 shortly after in new editions.

Packaging

We’ve made some adjustments/improvements with the packaging of this round of M60-A units compared to the first. Mostly to more efficiently pack and ship units, reducing the number of processes involved to pack each order.

CANVAS 2

The CANVAS 2 units have shipped from our supplier and will be available in stock on our store when they arrive. They are shipping via sea-freight; we expect them to arrive early January.

WAVE Ti / M60-A SEQ2 / M6-C / Caps & more!

WAVE SEQ2 Ti

The Titanium Wave caps have arrived in our warehouse and will be shipping out once packaged. These, we think, are our best keycaps yet - the smoothness of the finish surpasses any we have made before. We’re excited for people to receive these!
We have a limited amount left in stock available to order.

M60-A SEQ2 Starter Kits

As we await the M60-A SEQ2’s to arrive, we’re packaging a lot of the accessories that will be shipping with some orders. The M60’s are due to arrive later this month in our warehouse for order-packing and shipping.

M6-B PCB’s

The M6-B PCB’s have arrived for the M6-C production. Orders of just the PCB will be shipped when packaged. We’re also awaiting the enclosures and GRID keycaps for the M6-C shipments to go out.

Switchpuller XO

A large number of Switchpuller orders have gone out - and we’re looking forward to seeing these to good use! We have a large amount in stock for anyone who wants one.

New packaging and TEAM Caps

The packaging we were waiting on has arrived and we have started to ship the TEAM Caps. If you have ordered a TEAM Cap alongside other in-stock items, it will be going out.

Collaboration Keycaps - MIZU

The MIZU Collaboration keycaps have arrived and are being packaged to be sent to the distributors. We’re really happy with how these turned out and the blue glow!

Merch / M60-A SEQ2 Updates / Misc

RAMA WORKS® CAPS

We have our caps in stock and will be available through our web-store in the next week.

Each cap comes with it’s own dust bag for storage (or for use with anything else)

M60-A SEQ2 Production

All M60-A SEQ2 units have been machined. They are now off to be enamel filled on the back-weight and then packaged - this will take around 2 weeks. They will then be freighted to our warehouse for final packaging, packing and shipment!

Inventory 2 / Trays / Heavy Industry SEQ2

These items will be shipping out in October.

GRID KEYCAPS

We’re adjusting the mould for the GRID keycaps to use a knockout plate for ejection. This will remove the area on the underside of the cap where the ejector pins are located to now be a clean surface. These changes will take some time, but will allow us to deliver a higher quality product! Once we green-light the latest sample, production will move through quickly.

MISC

The Gateron Silent Inks have arrived for the U80-A orders! These will be packed once our new packaging arrives for them.

M60-A / M6-B / TH 88 Caps / New collabs / Heavy Industry / KOYU

M60-A

All M60-A enclosures have been completed and will be shipped by sea-freight to our Melbourne Warehouse. A little delay has occured due to the Mid-Autumn festival/National holiday but they will be returning in the next few days to promptly pack and prepare the shipping container for shipment. Sea-Freight will take around 2-3 weeks to arrive to our bays in Melbourne, Australia. We will then package and ship in batches of colour and country and aim to complete this over the course of a week with the help of a few hired hands.

A freshly anodised M60-A Dusk

Meanwhile our team down under (Wilba, Kate & Rama) have been programming, testing and packing the PCB’s whilst we wait for the freight shipment of the M60-A enclosures to arrive. We appreciate the patience of everyone who participated in the pre-orders and we’re excited to see these unboxed and assembled in their own unique combinations.

M60-A Manufacturing shots

During our visit to our manufacturers we where lucky enough to see some of the M60-A’s undergo the anodising process. Here are some photos of the enclosures receiving their perfect colour. The jigs are all custom made to hold the enclosures in such a way to hide the anode mark. Anodising is all about timing and craftsmanship by extremely skilled workers. Seeing the process in person really makes you appreciate the beauty of chemical reactions much more. First the M60-A goes through a number of cleaning baths to remove any contaminates which may be present on the surface, it then is placed immediately into an ultrasonic bath for a matter of minutes and directly placed into multiple colour tanks where it quickly starts to show its colour.

M6-B

M6-B is well into production. We will be receiving the XO caps from Signature Plastics shortly, the PCB’s will be complete in 2-3 weeks and the enclosures after that. We have ordered many extras to stock on our site for those who missed out.

Pas that, the new XO pins have arrived! This time we laser-cut them out of mirrored stainless steel. These are much tougher and cleaner than the first iteration.

TypeHype 88 Edition Keycap

Our limited edition Type Hype caps are starting to arrive to our international customers, very happy with how our first enamel filled keycap came out. A lucky 2 orders will also be receiving an unreleased yellow-enamel filled variant, we hope to see it on a board somewhere!

New Collabs

Introducing our latest keycap release with the latest GMK set, GMK Chocolatier. We are offering the Blue PVD coated X/O caps in Cherry Profile and a ‘Golden Ticket’ in Gold PVD! These are available through various vendors who are offering the keyset.

Heavy Industry

We finally launched the Heavy Industry keyset to be paired with our latest offerings, the KOYU and M60 keyboards. Check it out through the link below! It is also suited for other products on the market and can be accented with the yellow or more subtle without.

M60-A SEQ 2 + EPBT HEAVY INDUSTRY

Apologies all for the lack of updates/social media for the past week or so - we have been away from the office. We are now back and cannot wait to get straight back into it! 

Productive mail day here at the Rama Works Workshop. We've received a number of items which come with the M60-A. 

We are working hard here to not only deliver a product, but an experience. This delves deep into our company tagline "Experience Design". We cannot wait to show our customers what we work on in the background and some of the inclusions that come with our products.

Here's a few of them:

Custom feet

We had the mould for the feet completely remade to provide more grip. These come packaged in a pack of two and are in Kuro black.

U1 Connector cable

This is the cable which connects the U1-C daughterboard and the M60-A PCB together, we added extra sleeving to keep it together - we have the entire quantity in stock now.

PCB Anti-Static Bag

Our M60-A Anti-Static bags have arrived, these will keep the PCB's safe during handling and transport. This also comes packaged in another box (which has yet to arrive, stay tuned)

EPBT Heavy Industry preview!

We’re proud to announce the newest collaboration in our partnership line. We have been working with enjoyPBT and are proud to create EPBT Heavy Industry, a cherry profile keycap, tailored with our signature typeface and the resilient, printed caps and stems enjoyPBT are known for. PBT creates a much softer typing acoustic when compared to ABS and is a perfect match for our M60-A keyboard. It will also come at a discount to our M60-A owners. More news to come! (Also, what’s that keyboard resting on?)

EDIT: Here's a more color accurate photo:

M60-A SEQ 1

M60-A base unit sample packaging has arrived, this will be accompanied by other packaging which will house the PCB, Internal Weight & Back Weight extras.

Will post pictures of the other packaging when it arrives!
