Wilba Tech x RAMA WORKS® Statement

RAMA WORKS and Wilba Tech have reached a positive agreement regarding the fulfilment of THERMAL and THERMAL+ keyboards.

Both parties wish to assure our customers that we are working together to have these keyboards in our customer’s hands by Q4/2022.

The encasements are completed and will be sea freighted to our Melbourne warehouse. Concurrently, the PCBs are now in production with an estimated lead time of six weeks.We appreciate your patience and understanding and look forward to everyone enjoying their Thermals!

Project Updates - June 2022

As we wait for products to arrive at our warehouse, we have been working on some items which will be included with our upcoming releases:

Microfiber Gloves:

Cleaning Cloths:

And some new products:
Playing Cards

WORK IN PROGRESS. Featuring holographic, foil and other premium features.

NFC Access Control Cards: 

We needed some elite access control cards for our office, so we decided to make our own! They’re stainless steel, weighing in at 25g and 0.8mm thick. There’s a deep-etched circular center on one side where the RFID chip sits, allowing us to not use the typical plastic lamination for one side of the card and have it remain full metal. They are laser etched, painted and have a lot of detail. These will first be available in stock alongside some of the other items arriving next month: The XO Team cap, XO Pens.

Collaboration Artisan Keycaps: 

We’ve received another batch of our collaboration caps which are currently being QC'd and packed by our warehousing team as quickly as possible to our distributors. For those who have purchased directly from us, please contact us through support@rama.works if you have moved/changed addresses and our team will be happy to assist as best we can.

XO Pens 

After initial QC we have opted to refinish the brass units of the XO PENS. We are expecting them to arrive by the end of this month leading up to the start of next month.
UPDATE: The first batch is inbound to our warehouse (the brass ones are being re-finished as we wernt’t satisfied with the finish of the brass units)

Chess Set: 

The first revision of the packaging came in which we are really happy with. It feels like a solid showcase piece you would want to keep on a coffee table. There have been some minor adjustments made and the second set of samples are en route.

JARS: 

We were expecting to receive the JARS last week, but the manufacturer has informed us of an issue with the rubber seals. The new gasket tooling will be finished by next week and the JARS will ship out that same week. We will post updates when this has been shipped through our socials e.g. Instagram, so please be sure to follow us if you haven’t already.
UPDATE: These are inbound to our warehouse.

60%/65% PCB's: 

The latest round of PCBs have arrived and we are currently performing further evaluation and testing. We are also remolding the PE Foam to adjust the sound signature and adding additional cutouts for the stabilisers.

THERMAL 

The SEQ 2 THERMAL units are in the final stages of assembly and packaging at the factory and will soon move to complete the assembly/packing of the THERMAL+ units. We will create another update when these are done and ready for sea-freight.

M60-B, M65-C, U80-B:

At this stage we’re looking at next year for fulfillment, we will keep updated if this is pushed forward.

KARA:

Pending the completion of the updated PCB’s we expect we can have the units completed soon after.

MATS: (IN PRODUCTION)

Packaging production is underway and when complete, will be assembled and shipped to our warehouse for fulfillment. We are expecting these to arrive in 2 months.

LOVE MATS DONATION:

Proceeds of our LOVE Mat edition MATS will be donated to Beyond Blue. Every month, thousands of people reach out to Beyond Blue for advice, support and information. Your donations go directly towards funding Beyond Blue’s Support Service so these calls don’t go unanswered. By supporting Beyond Blue, we are joining a community that is working to reduce the stigma, prejudice and discrimination that act as barriers to people reaching out for support. 

Doubleshot Keycaps  (KATE/CAPS):

The latest round of fine tuned samples have arrived and there are still very minor inconsistencies. We were still not 100% happy with the quality and again, Injection Molding is an iterative process - tooling after tooling changes until the end result is what’s expected. We are expecting to receive another batch soon, and will post pictures when they’re in.

Project Updates - April 2022

RAMA WORKS has invested our time and resources to continuously improve and bring the best quality products to our customers. Although we have constantly been trying our best to push all the products out on our end, we are unfortunately stuck with limitations. The Global Covid Pandemic has caused more delays this year, with businesses and logistics being completely shut, then reopening with reduced capacity causing a backlog. Understandably we know this is frustrating. However, we will continue to do our best and keep everything moving and work out ways to avoid this in the future.

Our team has been working on new and exciting ideas, which we want to source and produce locally to avoid any further halts to production due to the pandemic while supporting local businesses. So stay tuned to the magic our team has been working on!

Doubleshot Keycaps:
After receiving the last batch of samples a few weeks ago, we were not 100% happy with the quality. We made some adjustments to the doubleshot tooling, which is more involved due to the material shrinkage and material flow between the legends. The samples with the new adjustments will arrive soon, and we are confident they will meet our high-quality standards and proceed with production.

We’re also adjusting the case to have an extended internal hinge - we’ve received the updated sample of this and are happy with it, and it is what will be utilised for the end product.

Jar: Production nearly completed
After adjusting the top lid mould to increase the draft angle by 2 degrees to apply a heavier texture finish to improve the grip, we have also opted for a translucent finish for better wear, which would hide any visible scratches over time. Hopefully, if there are no further logistical delays due to covid restrictions with the supply chain, we should be on track to get these out in the next month as they are currently being all moulded.

For any further clarifications on your JARS order, please do not hesitate to get in contact with us at support@rama.work

Here’s how the finish is changing:

---

M6-C:

The M6-C PCB’s have finally arrived at our warehouse and are going through a rigourous quality check. We have the M6-C Dandy enclosures and GRID caps in our Melbourne Warehouse and will be ready to ship these shortly. We expect the remainder of the M6-C enclosures to be completed in 1-3 months. We’ll also make available in stock the new GRID colours we made for these.

Global Updates:

Our manufacturing partners in Shenzhen / Shanghai have been placed under strict lockdown to curb the current COVID outbreak. This means that the global supply chain across all sectors will be disrupted for the foreseeable future. We are closely monitoring the situation and will continue to do our best under circumstances out of control. Thank you to all our loyal ongoing clients for their patients during these difficult times. We understand the delays can be frustrating, and in the ideal setting with no supply chain issues, we would be able to get the products to you in a timely manner. The past year has shown us how quickly things can change, so we are also adapting our Business by looking at new products we can source locally to avoid these issues and continue providing high-quality products.

Other Updates:

Timelines from the previous March update on our other products are still valid.

Project Updates - March 2022

We at RAMA WORKS place quality and care at our highest priority; we want to deliver a product we’re proud of.

Doubleshot Keycaps:
Two weeks ago, we received the latest batch of sample caps from the mould, and we’re still not completely satisfied with the legends on the modifier caps - we’ve outlined the changes we require and expect the next round of samples to arrive in 2-3 weeks or so. Again, Injection Molding is an iterative process - tooling after tooling changes until the end result is what’s expected. Doubleshot tooling is a bit more involved as the material shrinkage, and material flow between the legend and the casing needs to be accounted for. We’re confident that the keycaps will be completed relatively quickly once we receive samples we’re happy with. Of course, this is taking longer than expected, but we want what will be received by our customers to be what we expect.

We’re also adjusting the case to have an extended internal hinge - we’ve received the updated sample of this and are happy with it, and it is what will be utilised for the end product.

Jar:
These are almost production-ready; the top lid mould is being adjusted to increase the draft angle by 2 degrees to apply a heavier texture finish. The current texture does not have enough grip.

Here’s how the profile’s changing:

We can expect the production to complete in around 1-2 months.

THERMAL SEQ2 / THERMAL+:

We are expecting these to arrive in 2-4 months. We will have a fair amount of extra units available for these.

Pen:

Enclosures are done, and the included pen ink has been secured - we’re finalising the packaging. We should receive these in 1-2 months. We’ll also have extra’s available when they arrive and the original orders are shipped.

M6-C:

The M6-C PCB’s will be arriving in a month. We have the M6-C Dandy enclosures and GRID caps in our Melbourne Warehouse and will be ready to ship once the PCBs arrive. We expect the remainder of the M6-C enclosures to be completed in 1-3 months. We’ll also make available in-stock the new GRID colours we made for these.

Chess Set:

2-4 months until complete

KARA / M60-B / M65-C:

We’ve received the samples of the updated PCBs and are currently testing them before putting them into production. We’ve tested them in the KARA and M65 with ICED plates, and they feel really great; it provides a lot more dampening/give with the typing experience.

Metal Keycaps:

We are aiming to complete all outstanding keycaps within 1-4 months.

U80-A SEQ 2 Extras / Trays:
Being packed and going out ASAP!

Things to come:

BAT:

The moulded BATs are production-ready. We can’t wait for people to feel the quality and weight of these!

Jumpsuit:

These are production-ready and will launching alongside the BAT at a later date

Global Updates:

Our manufacturing partners in Shenzhen / Shanghai have been placed under strict lockdown in a bid to curb the current COVID outbreak. This means that the global supply chain across all sectors will be disrupted for the foreseeable future. We are closely monitoring the situation and the current advice is that the lockdown should lift by next Monday, 21 March.

Project Updates - Mid December 2021

The team here at RAMA WORKS have been very dedicated to getting our orders and updates on track, doing what we love and producing top quality products. Thank you to all our loyal customers for being patient and for everyone’s support. Here are the following updates for our current projects. We have also been working away on some exciting new projects to come next year!

ZENITH

STATUS: FINISHED FULFILMENT 

Our warehouse staff worked extremely hard to finish fulfilling all your orders. We hope all our customers are enjoying their brand new ZENITH. Make sure you share photos so we can see how yours have turned out! Tag @ramaworks on Instagram so we can reshare 🤗

If you have a support related inquiry, please contact us at support@rama.works or https://support.rama.care/

Remember to include your order number!

U80-A SEQ2

STATUS: FULFILMENT ABOUT TO COMMENCE 

PCB:

The PCBs are finally on their way to our warehouse as we speak! Fulfilment can commence as soon as they arrive at our Melbourne distribution centre. The warehouse team has been very busy organising in preparation for the final components to arrive so we can get all your orders out the door as soon as they land. 

ENCASEMENT:

Encasements, U80 backplates, and internal weights are at our warehouse, awaiting the remaining PCB’s to begin the fulfilment of our orders. 

We have been working around the clock to ensure that we can get these U-80-A SEQ 2 to all our customers after the long wait as soon as we receive all the necessary parts. We know this project has taken some time, and we thank you all for patiently waiting and being understanding of the current circumstances. 

THERMAL SEQ2/THERMAL+

STATUS: IN PRODUCTION

Thermal SEQ2 and Thermal+  encasement are now complete after the desired rose-gold colour has been rectified. These should hopefully be shipped off soon to our warehouse and awaiting other components to fulfil our customer orders expected late Q1 2022. We will keep everyone updated as soon as we have more information.

CAPS KEYSETS 

STATUS: FINAL DAY TO PREORDER

By popular demand and with a bit of help from our manufacturing partners, we are proud to offer this product at a lower price point (excluding CASE). We have made some adjustments to the tooling (Currently at Off-Tool Samples 3 [T3]) and are now finalising the double-shot legends, but overall are very happy - production will be relatively quick when the tooling is complete. Rest assured, the CAPS will be of the high-quality standard and aesthetic of RAMA WORKS® and we are super excited to hear and see these on whichever board they crown!

See below photos of the latest tooled samples:

M65-C 

STATUS: PRE-ORDER CLOSED - PRE-PRODUCTION COMMENCED 

The preorder period for M65-C is closed now, and production will commence shortly! Shipping will start when manufacturing/assembly is complete. Estimated fulfilment: start of Q3 2022

RAMA’S BURGERS T-SHIRT / INVENTORY 2 / KEYCAP

STATUS: AWAITING TRANSIT

We have received some inventory for the RAMA’S Burgers collection. We are waiting for the rest of the inventory to arrive before fulfilment to our customers will commence. We will update everyone as soon as the rest of the products land.

CHESS SET 01 

STATUS: IN PRODUCTION

CHESS PIECES:

After careful consideration, we have opted to proceed with a more classical chess set look (white and black) with ceramic coating for durability and a superior finish. We have also installed silicone feet on the pieces to protect the board’s surface and prevent slipping. 

BOARD

The board features a thick 14mm acrylic base, with silkscreen graphics on the underside - encasing it below the crystal housing. The design of the board has remained essentially the same.

We always aim to provide the most pleasing end-user experience hence the change in finishing for the pieces. If you have any concerns or queries regarding your order, please contact us at support@rama.works or https://support.rama.care/

XO PEN 

STATUS: IN PRODUCTION

The ink refill for the XO PEN is currently being sourced.

TRAY

STATUS: IN PRODUCTION

Production will be completed by the end of the month. Fulfilment of orders will begin when the TRAY arrive at our Melbourne distribution centre. 

JARS

STATUS: PRE-PRODUCTION 

The preorder period for the JARS has ended. Pre-production is currently underway.

Once these are inspected, tested and signed off - we can begin the pre-order! We were really hoping KARA would be ready by the end of this month but as we mentioned in previous updates, we want to get this product exactly right as it’s our favourite to date - we cannot wait for people to try these out for themselves!

Extra Goodies

To help make up for the wait with some of the items, we’ve made some extra inclusions to ship with some products, this includes:

Film Canister
Hot Shoe
NEMO
RW01

Now, all these products have been fully completed, and we’re just waiting for them to arrive at our warehouse, which we expect to happen in the following weeks (longer than usual given the reduced global transit lanes in shipping).

Each of the above products will come packaged with our fabric dust bags; we’ll also be including some other items with each order.

We were hoping to release our custom jacquard fabric with this extra inclusion, but unfortunately, with fabric mills busy around the globe. We will be making products with our custom fabric in the future. This is the RAMA WORKS HOLDINGS - RWH - Monogram:

RWxRW S4:W2 Challenge

RAMA WORKS® x Render Weekly

S4:W2

The challenge is to redesign the base of the M6 and render the product. We will select our favorite design and produce a limited edition RWxRW M6.

These keycaps will be available for pre-order until July 10th through our webstore: https://rama.link/gridcaps

Rama Works x MIGHTYKILLERS® Photography Accessories - Development

135 Film 2U Canister

After receiving feedback from MIGHTYKILLERS® on the 2U prototype of the film canister, we’ve made some adjustments that we think will make it ready for market. We’re currently waiting on the second round of prototypes for review. We’ve added a new closure system to the top lid to make it quicker and more satisfying to open and close the film canister lids. Instead of the previous twist-lock cap, we’re utilizing our new pushbutton cam-lock that will snap the lid in when simply pushing it into the enclosure.

Here is what the Rama Works - Pushbutton cam-lock mechanism looks like.

Past this, we’re looking to introduce a new material / edition to the lineup. Mirror-Polished Aluminium. This edition will beautifully wear as used, giving itself character and stories over time. We’ve also increased the specifications on the black-anodised film canister to be a Military Spec Type III hard-anodising - this will increase it’s strength and resistance to scratches and wear.

PHOTOS FROM MIGHTYKILLERS®

Here are some images from MIGHTYKILLERS® of the round 1 prototype!

M60-A INCOMING / PARVUM / MIGHTYKILLERS

M60-A

The M60-A enclosures are landing tomorrow by sea-freight in Melbourne (1st of November)! The container will then be going through customs and then delivered to our warehouse once cleared. Once in our warehouse we will aim to ship out the M60-A keyboards as quickly as possible!

PARVUM ITX CASE

We’re excited to be showing some of the work for the design we have created for PARVUM SYSTEMS. We will be creating a prototype for them and we will reveal more details to follow once tested. All panels are machined from Aluminium.

MIGHTYKILLERS

We’ve been wanting to do camera accessories for a long time now, and a great opportunity came up with someone we’ve been following for a while with MIGHTYKILLERS. We have designed for them a series of accessories that we look forward to releasing to the market. To be released: 135 Dual Film Canister, 120 Quad Film Canister, Soft Release & a Cold Shoe Cover.

KOYU

One month remains to join the KOYU preorder. In the following weeks we will be showing more of the board and its capabilities/design. Pictured below is the hand-polished mirror finish PVD brass TANK Edition.

BOXR / M60-A / Further Collaborations

BOXR GG

The ‘king’ caps for our friends BOXR GG have been completed and will be shipped to them next week where they will pack and ship them! These have been machined from Brass, hand-polished to a mirror finish and PVD coated to their perfect gold colour. Excited to see these out in the wild!

M60-A

The enclosures have officially begun their journey of sea-freight to our Melbourne warehouse. Today we spent programming and packing PCB, and will be again tomorrow. About 3/4th complete - anticipate having most of it completed by tomorrow.

Further Collaborations

GMK Wavez cap with Glow in the Dark enamel infill. More to follow.
