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. Consider which materials, colours and combinations you would like to use. Always consider manufacturing constraints with your design - the base will be CNC machined. You can use any materials you think would look best in combination - Brass with PVD coating, Anodised Aluminium, Titanium etc.
The winner will receive a free limited edition M6 from the production run. The 2nd and 3rd place designs will receive a discount to any products on the site.

M65-B ICED
This is the M65-B ICED, it’s milled from a solid block of Polycarbonate and features our MUTE mounting platform - now moulded from our ICED colourway. The new MUTE allows light to diffuse more evenly beneath the plate.
We’ll be filming and releasing a video on the M65-B ICED as soon as possible.
Weight
The M65-B ICED (Polycarbonate) without switches, stabilisers and keycaps weighs in at: 685 grams

M60-A SEQ2
The M60-A SEQ2 units have been completed for some time now, since early October. We’ve had some delays with the logistics in getting the units here, but we’re in the final stretch with clearing some documentation in getting our container here, so we have no issues when it lands in port. We hope that it will land in 2-3 weeks. Everything in our warehouse is packed and ready to go for when they arrive so we can get all the units out as quickly as possible. All units will be receiving our XO Switchpullers as well.

M6-C, M60-A SEQ2, GRID CAPS, U80-A, Inventory 2 SEQ2, Tray
M6-C
The M6-C enclosures have arrived, we have everything in stock except for the GRID caps & the M6-C Silicone bases. We expect these to all arrive this month though! Then all units will be shipped out if everything in the order is in stock.
We have approved the latest batch of M6-C bases for production; several improvements were made since the initial design. On the left is the first production sample, but given the density of the material, it would cave in too much, so we made some adjustments so that it sits more flush around the PCB.
GRID Keycaps
We’ve received the production polycarbonate colour samples of the GRID keycaps and have begun production on them! We’re looking forward to seeing these on keyboards and shipping them with our M6-C units.
PRODUCTION IS DUE TO COMPLETE BY 1st OF NOVEMBER
We have limited extra stock allocations from manufacturing available through our webstore.
Inventory 2
Inventory 2 Aluminium & Titanium have arrived and will be packed early next week for immediate shipping - the brass units will be sent to us early next week to receive before next weekend.

We will also soon start production on the PCB’s.

Removing the sprue from the underside of the cap
increasing the grit of the underside finish
We will soon receive the colour samples of each variation. Once that's approved we can promptly begin production.
These keycaps are moulded in Polycarbonate and hold exceptional colour. We will be offering custom colours of the GRID keycap in the future.

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.
