Thanks!! Still adjusting a few small details and adding some extra space in the top compartment for more stuff :) but really happy with it so far, the moulded insert fits the m6 perfectly :D

Pretty much everything but the enclosures have begun production, which should take around 30 working days - so pretty on beam to get everything out early in the new year !

Would love to get a set of metal caps for this. Was thinking about it earlier today.

Amen brother. RAMA teases us with these metal caps but they are likely unobtanium.

Hoping Rama does a set of Topre metal caps someday as well. One can dream.

I'll have them up on the store when I get them in! I had to order a stupid amount anyway haha 

[KingRama]

Have extended the GB until after the Sydney meetup (which is tomorrow!) - I will be bringing along the mercury collectors edition for people to play with along with a few caps and other things to giveaway + freebies for all attendees. Looking forward to it!

More information on the meetup here: https://www.taekeyboards.com/sydney-mechanical-keyboard-meetup



This won't affect production period.

Feet are in production already, along with XO pins, keycaps and cables.

Putting through order for carry bag and enclosures early next week!

[Wilba]

I see what you did there....

My late night creativity at work, last minute addition hahahahaha

Thank you to all those who have participated, the pre-orders is now closed and production on the enclosures will now begin!

I will continue to post updates here as they happen

Yeah!
The cable, xo pin, suede cloth, doubleshot xo caps, custom foot, pcb, switches & screws. Everything you need to get going, all custom made

I'll show the parts as they come in, should have the cables ready to go soon

Are all the cables planned to be the same color? Also, any idea on length? Sounds like an awesome package.

Yeah, it's just the grey cable for now, 1M in length Unfortunately other lengths will require new moulding, but that's definitely a possibility moving forward.

Cheers man!

[AlexG]

1m is enough for me. My monitor has a USB hub.

[KingRama]

Oh yeah! That's what I do too, keyboard straight into the monitor with a 1M cable

Also I have just ordered all the switches from my good friend at Mechanical Keyboard Info (Melbourne based also): https://mechanicalkeyboardinfo.com/

I should have these by the end of the year and ready to go

[KingRama]

The feet are finished and in my hands! One thing down

Payment has been placed through to my manufacturer for the enclosures + bags.

Will have more news soon

Just a bit over 200 units, I've ordered a few extras as well that will go up on the store once all the units ship out and arrive safely!

There's definitely more feet than there are bases :P

[KingRama]

But how do I get Rama USB cables without a keyboard?...

Here you go! Cables are available now: http://cable.rama.works




They come with a metal foil rama sticker too 

Further updates!

Cables have arrived, material arrived for the carrybags to be manufactured, PCB production has begun (as of last weekend). All coming together
Also have some custom shipping boxes being produced for these all to be shipped in, can't wait to show them

[KingRama]

Hey everyone,

Just a brief update

M6's are currently in polishing and should be moving to the final stage of PVD coating soon!



Keycaps are set to be shipped from Signature Plastics on the 17th of this month.

Shipping boxes and carry cases are in production.

At this stage it's looking like an early February shipping date, after the original GB orders ship out and everyone receives theirs, I'll release the extras I ordered as backup.

Cheers! Hope everyone had a great holiday and an uplifting New Years <3

Awesome! Thanks for the update, glad to hear everything is going smooth. I think the most amazing thing is that you've gotten SP to do something on time.

No worries! It's all coming together now

Hah, yeah I was a little surprised myself when I emailed to check after New Years that they are still on schedule Fingers crossed it stays that way.



At this point, I think the longest thing to come in may actually be the shipping boxes annoyingly, they will be freighted by sea - will know more information once it ships though (apparently next week)

You mean you're not going to hand carve us boxes with some rare Australian wood?

Would you happen to have a HHKB-style case in the pipeline for 2018? Would love to pair the M6-A with a 60% HHKB case. :)

I remember asking him about that a while ago. I feel like he said he's been pondering it. I know I'd buy one for sure. HHKB is the best layout. But who wants crummy rubber domes?

Yup! Definitely doing an MX HHKB, since it's something I also need for myself :P

[Wetherbee]

MX? Ewww.

Crowning achievement in keyboard design would be a case for the HHKB to rival the HHKB HG. If anyone can do it, RAMA can. His renders are spot on. Then he would surely become the King, earning his namesake.

Asymmetric or symmetric? Crossing my fingers for the former, but will be stoked either way. :)
