Two dead keys on my pcb, no response when trying to activated with some tweezers either from the front or back. Unfortunately one of them is the space bar so can't really use the keyboard at all :-(

I think I'm going to switch my M80A order away from hot swap.

Awesome combos everyone  :o

All KOYU units are now shipped, final shipments are being picked up by DHL Express this afternoon! Any issues, please contact support@rama.works and we'll sort it out as quickly as we can.

Congrats on this! On the matter of extras, will you know when the extras will be up for invoice, or will you publish a list in advance?

Contact support through Rama website and you’ll have a replacement rather quickly. Don’t give up on hotswap so easily.  It’s fun!   ^-^

Yep already sent an e-mail! Yeah might give it another shot, I guess you never know which new switches are going to come out in the future and you can try them out without having to desolder / solder.

My KOYU arrived today.   It is awesome !

I have got this switch removal tool:  https://www.dhresource.com/0x0s/f2-albu-g6-M00-1C-A1-rBVaR1rXuwqABNdzAACKwjnNGK0829.jpg/switch-puller-remover-tool-for-cherry-kailh.jpg

It is a bit awkward to remove corner switches.   Is there a better tool?

I’ve also got that green one, but it’s a bit big like you say.
My favorite is this one, which is the one that i always use: https://kbdfans.com/products/product?_pos=1

Looking forward to ramas new puller tho

We'll have our XO Switch Removal Tool (http://rama.link/rw-blog-05) ready in about 20-25 days - there will be a few distributors globally who will also stock it. We where aiming to have them ready to go by the KOYU but unfortunately with all the design revisions it set us back a bit - they're designed so it works on the top switches etc :)

Also, with the IC removal tools - you can bent the feet at an angle which helps it fit better for the top switches :)

How hard is the coating? Will it scratch plates? I have the standard green one and it leaves scratches unless you're extra-super careful which is a damn shame

While not ideal, you can always put tape or shrink wrap around the prongs.

Anyone has any suggestions on how to protect the KOYU anodization in the long-term?

I remember seeing someone's keyboard with two clear spots where their hands rested on the frame. I've seen a suggestion of using carnauba wax. Thoughts?

I know that's not what you've asked but type with your hands in the air and only _rest_ them on the wrist _rest_. Your wrists will thank you for that, additionally you won't ruin the finish 😄

Is anybody having issues with the usb-c daughter board? With some cables the board only works with the cable oriented one way but not the other. And with another cable if I give the connector a minor wiggle when it's inserted the board disconnects from the computer. All cables I've tested work with my other usb-c devices.

I'm thinking it's an error on Rama's side, I refuse to believe every single colour sold that instantly.
