[GB] RAMA M4-A [SHIPPED]

[duynguyenle]

One quick pic because Rama won't stop harassing me about it  )

(Attachment Link)

LEGEND <3 Hahahaha sorry, I need to see that people are getting it

Put some caps on bro, switches, gogo!

I'm gonna solder in dem switches tomorrow - wish I had some SIP sockets left over - this is actually the perfect kit for it

Is there going to be an option to get an M10 without the massderp logo by any chance?

Sweet! Can't wait to see

I'm not sure, they are actually manufacturing the M10 - so they are putting in a lot of work to make it a reality. We've been working closely together to achieve a result I'm happy with

Wait what about the M10? Has the GB started?

Got mine!

Haven't even really had a chance to do more than look them over - been insanely busy. But, simply gorgeous. They're amazing. Love!

And I'm going to have to shovel more money out your way tomorrow morning...

Stunning work.

Thanks so much Jal!! So happy everyones starting to receive it, you guys have waited so long D:

Yes yes, so excited for the M10 Launch too! Been such a long wait D: Cheers!

I started to play around with the file for the M4A and saw that the first two layers (0,1) are configured. Question is that both layers use the M1 to select the first layer, can you explain how this works? I see 0-10 layers but only 6 different commands (M1-M6 and T1-T6) to access the layers. Surely if there were 11 layers in total then there should also be the same amount of commands to select all layers? Apologies in advance if I am wrong based on the 15 seconds of thought I gave this, or if this is due to the version number for the software

I absolutely understand what you're saying dw, I have forwarded the message to Machine Industries - he'll reply when he can

EDIT: He's in brazil he mentioned
"The dude is right, we originally had 6 layers but we bumped it to 10 but didn't add the extra switching keys, oops! Two minute thing to add though "

Some of those sets were commissions so won't be in the sale, but the rest will be. Other info on the sale, ugh hahah I'm not 100% sure myself, pretty sure all the sets will be 1 offs and there will be very few, like 5-10 sets, and atm I'm planning to only post the sale form  here, so only people who are actively following happenings with the m4 will be able to buy them. Don't want people buying them who don't have an M4.

I received my grey M4-A in the UK yesterday. I've posted a short build log.

The final build I came up with is Gateron black, purple/pink LEDs, and Skeletor caps.



I discovered a few things about it that I really like so far. The plastic used on the base is slightly transparent, so if you use in-switch LEDs you can see the light underneath the case. It looks very cool on a dark desk.



Also, the cut out for the USB port is very nicely done -- it's neat and the USB connector fits snugly. It feels like it won't break when plugging it in. The switches fit through the case holes extremely well, and again the fit is snug so they don't move about when you're building the thing.

My case, base, and PCB had no visible blemishes, I'm very impressed with the overall quality. This has made me forgo any other group buys for RAMA's upcoming Key Clack GB and the Massdrop M10-A!

WOW!! Legend!!

Thanks so much for the build log, that photos are awesome (gonna share it on my Facebook page). Really really loving the pink LED's with the underglow - that looks sweet

Also, the next version of the configurator will have much greater LED control, so you'll be able to set it from the configurator itself

Nice, thanks!

I was hoping the configurator would get LED control, I forgot to ask that because just getting them to turn on confused me. I did it by assigning the LED on to one of the switches. The current firmware seems to keep the LED on even after rebooting, so you can patch to enable, then patch to reuse the key for something else.

Yeah, it should be added in the next couple weeks I will post an update when it becomes available. hahaha yeah, it's kinda annoying how you have to do it now, by setting up the pad to control the LEDs, set the LEDs, then flash it back to a different configuration It will be improved! Configurator is in Alpha and much much more to be added

For right now...yes. Volume - / +, F12 (for screenshots while playing games), and the key on the right toggles the led's. Of course functions will change over time. Also, I guess I can just add layers as I need to.

Put the M4-A together! It's a really beautiful little macropad.

I finally got around to configuring this little guy today.



It only took me a year...   

I gotta say, it's pretty rad.  Hoping to find a use for it in Star Citizen.  I initially had some trouble getting it to be recognized in the Configurator, but I just needed to load a driver from Atmel.  Good to go!
