M50-a
The M50-A is the first of our GRID layout keyboards here at RAMA WORKS®. It features RGB LEDs (Hotswap Only) and the leaf spring mount plate. Variable layouts are available with the Solderable variant of the board.
LeaF Spring Plate Mount
M50-A features a leaf spring plate mount, an innovative plate mount design utilizing thin strips of the plate to act as a leaf spring between the plate and the case. Leaf spring mount provides exceptional flexibility, allowing the entire plate/PCB sub-assembly to yield under keystrokes and vibrate in isolation from the case. The result is a typing experience that is soft and vibrant across the whole keyboard.
SOLDERLESS OR SOLDERABLE & IN-SWITCH RGB (HOTSWAP ONLY)
In an effort to provide the best end-user experience available, the M50-A PCB requires no soldering to construct with any Cherry MX-compatible switches. The M50-A offers a USB-C connection attached to the USB Extension PCB. There are also additional PCBs available for individual sale. The hotswap board includes in-switch RGB LEDs under the PCB, which require no installation. The backlight and layout are configurable with the user-friendly VIA application.
The M50-Ax variant is a solderable version without hotswap sockets or RGB LEDs for those who want an alternative layout
LAYOUT
The M50-A HOTSWAP PCB is fixed layout with a single 2U space
The M50-Ax PCB is a solderable version without hot-swap sockets or RGB LEDs, supporting full grid, one or two spacebar options
The Editions
The M50-A comes in a variety of finishes. All editions are CNC milled Aluminium. The KURO edition is carefully bead-blasted to a consistently smooth finish and then anodised to our standard-issue black colouring. The MILK and YOLK edition tops are electrophoretically coated to their bold matte finish. And finally, the NANO edition top is powder-coated in a retro-futuristic grey. The NANO/MILK/YOLK all feature the same powder-coated MOON base.
Accentuate
Replace the included SILO plate with a plate in a different color. Combine with an extra PCB to easily switch between different builds.
MAKE IT YOUR OWN
Select your switches, keycaps and colour to make it unique and an expression of your likes and taste.
