Looks great! I'll have to wait until I hear back on one of the other raffles I entered before I can order. If that one goes through then I'll have to pass on this. These look great though!

PS: If anyone in Vancouver, Canada or Toronto, Canada wants to save a bit, I'd be willing to shoot over the money for 1 or 2 keycaps + shipping to your place. I can pick up locally then.

No worries bro, completely understandable - I always have myself prioritizing groupbuys over others, very tricky! Hope you get the caps you want :D Got my 2nd raffle win coming in tomorrow or next week :D Super stoked!


Oh and everyone who ordered shirts! Looks like they're starting to arrive in the states - Qazeqaz received his last night :)

Heheheh, the other reason is if I find another GH'er in one of those two areas, we both can probably get the keycaps cheaper at a per keycap basis. Think of the savings!   :D

Orange R1 brother!  I will admit, I did recently swap but it was because I was using my Raw R1 but a new keyboard and keyset requires a new R1 too :D

(http://i.imgur.com/cZo6Uua.jpg)

And I am so in for this, just need to figure out how many I want/need.  How long is the pre-order gonna run Rama?

Not many of you orange R1ers! Preorder running till July 1st, but if I reach MoQ earlier I'll start production, and ship out accordingly (assuming it'll be within 2 weeks) - however I'd probably grab a few extra stock :)
Much easier this round with a single SKU! less headache!

Aw I got all excited and thought this was the BS round. Patiently waiting for that to come out :D

Hehe Captain! It'll happen :p Gotta get a photo of my Zine! Haven't found a good opportunity to do it yet though :3

Yeah mate for this round unfortunately :( Doing the multiple SKU's was crazy last time lol was a batch fee for each color :(

Not doing the painted caps for this design anymore as well, those are retired and only ones are left are the ones circulating :E

What color would you be interested in, anodized?

Ah! Well, that's my fault for not jumping on it.

Waateva's post made me realize the blue would go perfectly with the cyan enjoyPBT Russian set, so I may have to hunt one down.  :p

Hey mate, I have attained a new AusPost business account which I'm planning to utilize for this group buy, I am not sure on it's tracking abilities - I do know that it generates a tracking number though.

Australia to China is pretty decent from past experience though :)

I still can't decide if I need 3 or 5 of these...

Same  :-\
 
Hmm tough choice! Roll a dice!  :))

Are these row 1? Just wondering if I can use them in the gmk profile for my arrow cluster
 
Hey mate, they're either row 1 or row 4 (different sites tell me different things) - whichever the escape key row is!

wait when can i get that 10key pad?
 
Currently the project is waiting on software unfortunately :( Machine had to change around a few things to get it to do what we want it, definitely getting closer to a release date though! :D

UPDATE:

Hi all, I really don't want to wait till July 1st to start manufacturing, I want to get these out to people as soon as possible.

So I'm moving the deadline/end date forward to June 20th 1 PM (GMT+10)

Here is a video of how the metal keycap sounds in comparison to plastic keycaps:

Quick question, RAMA, is it kosher for me to try and get sort of a local group buy going for your keycaps? (I'd be advertising on the Canadian equivilant of Craigslist) I'm not sure what your rules are on offsite advertising.

Mate, I'd love for you to do that - shipping costs are the worst! Go for it bro, hope you can collect a few people to split the costs and save!  :)

Why would people interested in custom key caps be on Craigslist/kijiji?  :confused:

Geekhack is exactly the correct place to be advertising a Candaian Proxy service.

Well, you'd be surprised how many people you can sell "bling" to. And not everyone who's into keyboards is on either GH or Reddit.

And I know, I'd love to do that but I'm currently not remotely close to anyone who's I'm able to do a pickup from.

E: Sorry, sleepy.

I use my R1 cap with an EnjoyPBT set which are Cherry profile and it stands just a little taller than Cherry profile.  Using it daily I don't notice any difference but I am using mine as an Esc key, so you might run into issues if you were using them elsewhere.  I'm also not a "serious" enthusiast so I don't really care as much :D

Sorry about that "serious" comment. Serious or not, I think it would be nice to have a Cherry profile version that will match up 100% with GMK or PBT sets that are in that profile, rather than OEM profile. :)

I don't think it'll bother people if they put it on the Esc of TKLs, etc. I'm waiting for Cherry because I put artisans on 60% as well, and all of my sets are now in Cherry profile, so the OEM will clash.

Otherwise, I don't think it's too big of an issue. It's not like it's stopped people from collecting ClickClack's blanks.  :rolleyes:

I don't think you understand my point of view. Of course it would be alright to mix and match whatever, but if RAMA could offer us Cherry profile, then that would even be better from the end user's perspective, as you always want to have as many options as possible. Just a suggestion for him to cater to more people. :)

Nothing to be sorry about, some people are more serious than others about things like this and I just happen to be one that doesn't care too much :)

Rome does have a good point though as I was just thinking about full size and TKL keyboards, but having it off on a 60% or smaller would definitely be distracting and kind of annoying.

I completely understand your point of view, which is why I mentioned that it won't be as big of an issue if people used it on the Esc of TKLs, since that lone key is separated from the rest of the keys and the profile wouldn't be as noticed as much.

I'd rather not chat on someone's thread and derail it too much, but check out Cherry 1800 cases with Leeku 1800 PCB. It looks original but with the added benefits of all the custom keyboard customization (layouts, keymapping), as well as backlight support.

And speaking of 1800 layout, what is a good board to give it a try?  I think I would really like one at work but don't know which one would be good to start with.

I'd rather not chat on someone's thread and derail it too much, but check out Cherry 1800 cases with Leeku 1800 PCB. It looks original but with the added benefits of all the custom keyboard customization (layouts, keymapping), as well as backlight support.

Cool thanks for the tip, I'll check it out :)

Back on track, when does this actually close today Rama?

Haha, all good guys. Regardless this is a pretty cool keycap. Just wanted to make a request for our people. :)

Haha no worries mate :)

Woops! Fell asleep last night, it is now closed :) Have sent the order to the manufacturer with a few extras so I don't make a mistake of leaving someone out like last time! :'(
 I can now also do a giveaway which I've been wanting to do as well with some of the extra stock and give back to the community :D

(http://i.imgur.com/beHN9vm.gif) (http://i.imgur.com/beHN9vm.gif)

That is some fine machining.  Don't media-blast it!
 
HAHA I love that gif so much.
Yeah I REALLY love seeing the machine lines, they look so beautiful to me. If anything I'd beadblast the outer surfaces and leave the inside with all the machine lines  :o

I would probably buy one if it was in Cherry profile, but I haven't used OEM profile and don't have a set of keycaps or keyboard that uses it.

Maybe consider making a Cherry profile and a lot more serious enthusiasts will be on board.
Maybe consider making a Cherry profile and a lot more serious enthusiasts will be on board.
I have pestered Rama on several occasions about this. He doesn't even have a cherry profile set yet, but is getting one soon!

Haha yes! Cherry is definitely in the pipeline, as soon as I get myself a set I will get measuring!

I will make it my duty that my next sale will be... wait for it... CHERRY PROFILE.

I've done it to myself now, now I have to deliver  :))

Def want one as well. I think it might be in the works, as well as the TMX version.
OH man, I'd really love to put TMX into this, and I would. But I'm going to have to think about it a bit :(
It's really difficult to machine TMX due to its undercuts (with the walls shielding most tools from entering) and the metal itself won't readily flex to allow for it to push over the snap point  :-\

The only way I can see it being possible is to:
1) have the stem as a sort of insert
2) Make it a friction fit instead of a snapfit. Which of course, will definitely work, but it could fall out easily :/

But yeah, it would be DOPE  :p Cherry first, lets see how it goes :)

Hey what! There shouldn't be a preorder page anywhere :o (unless you sneakily went to Machine Industries website?  :)) )

Thanks though man! Really hate keeping people waiting for it, I mean the enclosure has been ready to go for MONTHS now, just held up on the software side - had to change the way we're doing some things but I think it's coming close to completion now.
When I say "we" I really mean Machine Industries (I believe he goes by 27percent on the forums), he's been putting a lot of hard work to make sure that it's a painless process to program this thing and make it a smooth experience! Would love to release it as soon as possible, but, unfortunately, we're all going to have to wait until everything is ironed out and working as expected. Would never want to release a half-done product :S


 I mean as it stands now, we could use existing software/programming platforms and be done with it (and it would work perfectly)- but we want to put something new in which I think people will like (and it's going to be opensource too so other members of the community can utilise it for their own purposes/projects!)

plz Rama
 

hehe on it bro!  ;)

Aww thanks heaps mate! Yes absolutely, the board eagle files, a 3d printable case (in a few different variations, including a laser cut version) and the software :D

Machine Industries has done a fantastic job with the software side of things, and I cannot wait to show it off and start to let other people incorporate it with their own projects, would be great to see  :D

Hey boo, definitely! I won't be revisiting old colours from before though. May look into doing more anodised colors :)

For those interested, here are photos I got of the QAZ30 prototype, the currently released space grey cap will be the same finish and color!

Hi all!!

Okay so a majority of the caps have been completed through manufacturing, but 10 or so failed quality check with the anodising - so those are going to be completely redone (will take about 2-3 days).
Then they will all be shipped to me and I will be shipping them out! Expect them to be shipped in the following 2 weeks :) The quality on these key caps is at a much higher level than R1 and I can't wait for people to get their hands on them and use it :D

Thanks,

Hey Rama,

Are we getting shipping notices this week?  :)

Hey again boo :3 I should be receiving them this week, there was a problem with customs - but I just checked the tracking then and it looks like it's on board for delivery today!!
So during this week I'll package them all then promptly have them shipped out :D

Apologies all for the wait, I really don't like to keep people waiting, but it will be worth it!

Hey Rama, just wondering do you have any updates for some of your other projects? mainly the m10 and HHKB case?


Hey mate! The M10 is currently still on halt with software, so it's out of my hands at the moment, I have received some color prototypes of the new PCB though to look at the other day.
Disregard the silkscreen overlay (accidentally put both layers on one, woops!). Also crappy phone pics :(


As with the HHKB case, it's been on halt for the time being - I've been in the process of moving out to an apartment this weekend and been moving stuff around :[ But I'll get stuck into it, also got another exciting project for another community member which I cannot wait to get going!

Apologies all! This weekend was so flat out, been moving to a new apartment and spent the whole weekend assembling IKEA furniture and setting things up. Was hoping I'd have a chance to do it all on Sunday :(.

However, everything is now all set up and ready to go. So I'm hoping to package them all tonight and have them sent off!

New setup!

Caps to be shipped (THIS IS NOT THE PACKAGING!):
(http://i.imgur.com/toRUPuJ.jpg)


ALSO! Maybe the wait was worth it! These came in today, and I'll be chucking them in with some orders whilst stocks last. This is a newer tethered USB version of the 4% PCB, so the cable wires directly into it. So no more hard to solder surface mount components! I made a mistake with the prototype where the soldering locations for the cable are VIAS that do not have pads and are simply straight-through. This won't be an issue, but it may be difficult to solder.

Okay, so most US/UK/AU orders have been packaged! And will be sent to the post office today - you will receive processed orders later today if it has been shipped.
If you have not received an email, it's because either
A) your order has not been packaged yet (unfortunately I have to redo the shipping labels for a lot of Asian/Nordic countries due to your crazy addresses! They are super long and overlapped - I will try and redo them tonight)
B) special order/changes

Here is a photo of all the orders packaged!

There are three variants that you may receive!

What do we need to get these working? Switches and controller? Something like a teensy breakout board or Atmel chip to be soldered onto the PCB?

Controller appears to be the Atmel ATtiny85.  It's an 8-pin controller with through-hole compatibility.  Should be an easy build.

Hah, no worries at all man! Hope it's a fun little project for you - it's a pretty simple board to solder, especially the newer version! Note to all though, the new version has the cable going STRAIGHT into the PCB - there's no USB jack for this version. It will make sense later  :))

As Nathan posted, there's a BoM (Bill of Materials) on my website through this link: http://rama.works/#/r042b/ (http://rama.works/#/r042b/)  OH and make sure you program the ATMEL before soldering it on - A good idea is to get a socket for it to sit in, so you can take it in and out :)

First round I regretted it. And now I'm feeling the same. Maybe next time. :-[

There's actually a few left I think! Not sure with what I'll do with them yet, may do a giveaway! WEOW.

The website says 6 business days to the US :) I would allow for 2 weeks though. But let's hope you get them next week! :D

Also, I would like to apologise for the delay in having these shipped - I was trying to aim for end of June, but with the process of moving I just couldn't find the time to package it with the effort and quality I wanted. But now with a new, more permanent set up I can aim to be more efficient and quicker with my shipping process and get things out in a timely manner! Now onto the next project ;)


Thanks,

RAMA  :)

Hey mate, unfortunately with the shipping option I have used it does not have tracking - it will however be arriving in the next week or so :)  (6+ business days)

Very much looking forward to seeing these. Ah, who am I kidding, I'm very much looking forward to stroking and fondling them.

And if there hadn't been a delay, I would have felt cheated out of the full custom cap experience.

Thanks for the reply dude.


No worries at all bro!

Very much looking forward to seeing these. Ah, who am I kidding, I'm very much looking forward to stroking and fondling them.

And if there hadn't been a delay, I would have felt cheated out of the full custom cap experience.


Hah! Nothing quite like a delay to make the GroupBuy experience authentic :P

Can't wait for you to get your hands in and around these caps man! Hope you find it an enjoyable experience :]

That PCB is nifty! Will it be expensive?

Not at all! It's a fairly small PCB so it should be relatively affordable :D

Nice!!

Cheers Mike!

Doesn't look like it at the moment. Those contacts are MX. Also Alps needs to be plate-mounted so you will need a plate as well

Sorry. It was a question, if Alps support could be added. I don't think a plate is needed for a 4 switch, personally.

I'm not sure, I always thought that Alps switches require a plate by default, since the design of the switch body does not include any locating features for alignment (unlike MX which has a central dimple and two locating pin. I suppose if you're really careful with alignment, you could do without a plate, but I certainly wouldn't recommend it. Especially since some Alps stems fit VERY snugly, you would risk pulling the switch off the PCB when you remove keycaps if you choose to go without a plate (the only thing holding the switch to the PCB would be two solder joints)

All good points. Pulling the keys can definitely be an issue, but with such a small board I'd probably just de-solder all the switches to avoid breaking them.
With something like Swills Plate Builder it should be easy to knock up a small batch of plates  :) I would be up to that challenge, I might even mod the PCB i have coming  :thumb:

I think you can expect to receive it next week - I sent the packages all at the same time, and people in other states of Australia have received it yesterday.

So yeah, ideally early next week! I know how you feel though, waiting sucks :( hopefully the surprise is worth it to you boo :D

Yeah it's a yellow Nylon base, it could be swapped out with anything really. I think the material break for the base between the Aluminium and the Nylon will be a nice touch though.

Will see how it looks with the first prototype :D

That's an excellent case design  :thumb:

Will the switches clip into the case (like an integrated plate) or do they just slot through freely? Is the bottom flush with the top? Are you going to run a GB for the case or open source the files for people to try and make their own? Will the case work the PCB you gave us in the keycap buy? (So many questions, but I need to know more about this magnificent slab of metal!  :)))

Thanks bro!

The switches do not clip into the case, they slot freely - mounted to the PCB. The bottom sticks out a little bit, so the Aluminium will appear to be floating :D For style of course :p I have to get it all prototyped up, but I'm confident it will feel and look really good in person!

The PCB will fit into this yes! However, I'm not sure that the USB will line up the same, I will have to check. Regardless, through this groupbuy, the new PCB will be included anyways! PCB's are cheap! Also yes, I will release versions of the case that people can make on their own as a complete DIY project :)

It's OEM profile. Still fits great with a Cherry keyset and you will not have any problems with it unless you've got a case of the OCDs. It won't bother most people. The difference between R1 Cherry and R1 OEM is rather small.

My only regret is the board I intended to use the RAMA cap with isn't quite ready.  I guess I know what I'm doing this weekend...  :rolleyes:

Negative on the bolts.  They came that way from McMaster Carr.

The surface finish was pretty rough when it came in from BigBlueSaw so I really didn't have much choice.  It's not a full polish, only because I knew it would show fingerprints like a mofo.  :P

I see, that's very cool. How did you get the locklights through the plate? Is it just a simple pin hole or do you have some sort of elaborate lightpipe?

Big hole through the switch plate, smaller hole in the top case plate.  Nothing fancy.  I've been thinking about ways to diffuse and reduce the intensity, actually.
