UPDATE:

I realise these caps are super expensive, but, I wanted to explore the use of high-end materials and finishes on a keycap (the same used for high-end watches). I really think that this cap will be a unique experience with the liquidy smooth finish, the weight of stainless steel and the heavily rounded domed surface that your finger will sink into.

To produce the finish and tolerances I require, I have established a relationship with a watch manufacturer who will be able to achieve the finish and coating this cap requires.

[Data]

OMG STOP.   

The price isn't that bad actually, but it's just enough that I can't see myself buying more than one.  And I'd really love to fill a Planck or a 'Dox with these. 

Need some time to think about it.  You have any production samples you can show off?

[DALExSNAIL]

Wish I could afford, love your packaging almost more than your caps, so one day I'll have to hop on it. BRING BACK THE WAVE

Haha! Yeah I feel you man, it's a tricky price for sure - just wanted to give the opportunity to people who tip over the scales of decision Filling a whole board with these, oh my, that would really be something

No production samples as of yet since just buying one of these is incredulously expensive. I will be getting a sample when I put the bulk order in though as they provide a discount when put in with a big order, so I can check it off and make sure it's made to spec before going into full production.

Wish I could afford, love your packaging almost more than your caps, so one day I'll have to hop on it. BRING BACK THE WAVE 

 

Aww thanks heaps man! I'm actually adding a lot more to the packaging with these caps which I cannot wait to show off, it's going to be the FULL experience!

Haha, don't sweat bro, the wave is coming back It will be at the cheaper price point, I just wanted to do something luxurious and special this time around

Depends on who's doing the licking.

Wait, suddenly it sounds like we're talking about a different sort of commerce.

[iamtootallforthis]

I can only imagine how much the PVD costs are for these. Great looking cap but I don't know what I would use it with.

Yeah dude, along side with the mirror polishing D: Could always use it as a fancy paperweight, these caps will be pretty hefty

ALSO UPDATE! I've decided to go ahead and get the expensive AF prototype D: Fingers crossed it comes in next week, if not then, it'll be the week after. EEK! Can't wait to get some pictures of it to show it!

The whole process for PVD sounds crazy, can get some really nice results if done right:D Good thing I'm leaving it to the professionals

ALSO:
Got word back from my manufacturer, and the prototype will take 10 days - so that's next week out question The M4-A prototype should be in by next week though!

I had to learn about it for my major. Depending on the vacuum being used it can be a complete pain in the ass. Fun stuff to learn about though.

Thanks heaps for the help <3

[KingRama]

Hey all!

I've decided that I will be extending the close-date to when the prototype arrives (manufacturing will have to start at this date regardless) as some people would like to see the cap in person before pushing the "go" button
This will hopefully be next week, or early week after next.

Cheers,

RAMA

Same here mate

Have paid for it We have a public holiday end of this week, so it's looking like it will come in the week after

However, M4-A prototype #2 should be coming in this week

[UTEster750]

Another awesome product man! Was a bit hesitant but how can I say no to this after saying no to the M4-A, can't wait to see it! 

[Khuya]

if i get 12 of these, would there be like a 50% discount    Already waiting for the 37 aluminum keys from the other gb, these 12 will make up for the number row, and then just need modifiers for a full 60%.

Hey man! Order will end once the sample comes in as I have to wait until then for the manufacture to begin anyways That will be the week after this EEK.

Don't sell your boards bro!!! :/   

[Khuya]

NICE!  please send me invoice, i will pm you email. 

Now I just need to find aluminum modifers to complete the set.  It will go on a either weaven or lustro case.   

HollyOOps modiers are only $90, but they are cherry profile..i am still debating if I want to go with that, since the other 37's are r3 SA

I tried Zinc set before, typing is awesome..but they rust..

[paulforgione]

Ohhhhhh man. 

I just put in for a Duck Blackbird and feel like this would go beautifully for the escape / delete keys. My poor wallet.

Are you still aiming for the closing date to be the 2nd?

EDIT: Mmmmph. Nevermind, as soon as I thought about the contrast between two of those Space Black keys and the matte black aluminum I was in. Thanks so much for the discount code / producing the only artisans I've ever seen that I've liked!  I'll be keeping an eye on what you're up to for sure.

Man you gotta post pictures of that when you're done with the board - cannot wait to see!! Got heaps coming up in the future

[KingRama]

Okay guys,  the samples are in production! They have finished stage 1 which is the machining. YUM! Stainless steel

NOTE! These still have to be POLISHED to a mirror finish and COATED!!!

[xondat]

Oooooooo.

When does the prototype come in?

[jal]

Show Image

That's hot. I think I need to take another shower before work.

[brizzzle]

I kinda like just the stage 1 machined look... can't wait to see what the mirror finish is like.

[KingRama]

Oooooooo.

When does the prototype come in?

Next week! Will have more accurate details as it approaches

Hah! Matee, gonna need more than a shower once STAGE 2 and 3 is complete :P

Yeah there's something really cool about machining lines, the mirror finish will be a league on it's own though :o

[duynguyenle]

Looking good! Could you give us maybe 24 hr notice before you close orders? I might be able to get in, just sold one of my boards.

[KingRama]

Will do! Orders will close and begin production 24 hours after the samples arrival as some people where hanging out to see the final/finished product

Don't cull all your boards!!!

[stillzman]

in!

[KingRama]

in!

WOO!! Thanks dude!

I've added some extra finishes to the keycap to improve the quality too. I've spec'd it to be bead blasted at the bottom (so the top will have to be masked during that process), then once that's all done the top half will be polished. Can't wait for the sample to come in

[KingRama]

STAGE 2. Stainless Steel Polished. Next stage, beadblasting under side. Then, off to PVD coating!

[duynguyenle]

  so shiny

[stillzman]

looks amazing! how it is in regards to fingerprints though? seems like it could be a magnet although tha'ts not really a big deal for me, i can always wipe them down a bit when i plan to show them off.

[Spopepro]

So I'm making assumptions here, but I think the coating will be chromium nitride which is very hard and slick. It should both resist showing fingerprints pretty well, and be very easy to clean.

I'll report back with testing when I receive the sample Could always coat it with some oleophobic spray We shall see how it fairs!

I believe it's actually PS-PVD Plasma PVD with a ceramic coating (very tough), but I will have to confirm that. I think it will fair up to fingerprints very well

So its PVD not CVD?

That mirror finish may still pick up fingerprints though kinda like the new mirror black iPhone 7

Will report back on the fingerprint magnetism !

[zeuser]

Is the stem Topre compatible?

[KingRama]

Is the stem Topre compatible?

Hey mate, no, it's not. I mean it will fit on a Topre stem - but it will fall off, with a bit of ingenuity and tape it'll friction fit nicely. It does however fit on Novatouch stems

I don't market these as Topre stem though, as I really think it needs to snap fit for it to be defined as one

STAGE 3: PVD COATING

Once again, sorry for the terrible quality photos - these are from the manufacturer. I will take better photos once I receive it





I've also ordered another sample from the manufacturer with the bead-blasted underside for checking

Apologies all for the delays, I just want to get this cap to the quality that you all expect.

Cheers.

[milchek]

Woah, thanks for the update, and the level of care and detail to just one cap 

As for the images, looking good, love the white gloves, it's like these are being crafted by the corpse of Michael Jackson himself.

Question, do gloves come with the cap or do I buy them separately?

Haha, wish I could say those white gloves where mine! Those photos where from the manufacturer, I'll take some nicer ones once they arrive!

Well, these wont exactly be coming with gloves.... butttttt, they're coming with something else cool

Also, here is a photo of the underside, went the extra mile to get these beadblasted at the base. So the top surface is polished and the underside is beadblasted!

I'd also like to thank everyone that has ordered these so far, I understand that they're super expensive, but I hope that the price reflects the quality of this product when you receive them in your hands!

[jal]

That is gorgeous. Bead blasted undercarriage!

And *way* sexier than the Daft Punk things on MD. "I have one word for you. PVD." (Although I will say the detail work on those is really nice. Someone either has a nice 5-axis machine, or the patience of a monk with Alzheimers.)

Hah! Yeah, I think it was a good decision to get the bead-blasted undercarriage. The Daft Punk caps definitely looked cool.

The 2 samples have been shipped. I will be getting them in my hands hopefully Monday/Tuesday!

Why isn't this tmx stem so that I can put on my hhkb without moding. Or can it?

TMX is super difficult to machine due to the undercut, it would require a custom/special tool. The rigid stainless steel also cannot flex as compared to plastic which is required for the snap fit.

However, this stem will actually fit on a Topre stem, which can be seen with my other caps. But it will not be a tight fit - you could create a shim to make it hold on tight though!

Too poor to order another one lol, but I'll pre-empt and say I'm in for the Rama Stainless Steel O cap (because you can't have Crosses without the Naughts can you  )

What key switch do you use?

I noticed that on my zeals, the space grey had a very loose fit and would come off upon a single press.

Was wondering if you are using something else. Thanks!

Hey dude yeah, you'll find that they'll fit terribly on some switches, and well on others - I use cherry blue and they fit perfect. That's one thing that's really problematic with doing a metal stem, I'm going to refine it a bit to have a little more friction so hopefully it holds on better for most switches

For those wondering about how fingerprints show on them:

So fingerprints do show on them, if you're really bothered by fingerprints then you can spray an oleophobic coating on it.

They keycaps have been polished - just a delay on the PVD coating manufacturer, they're waiting for other parts to add to the batch. But will be shipped once that's all complete

[RocketGruntJake]

Any ETA?
Have two for my blackbird that should be shipping soon* *tm

I didn't realise you were Australia based, so if you have some extras left over, count me in for one. 

No longer based in Melburn so I can't pick it up, so all faith will be given to Auspost.

UPDATE: Hmmm for some reason, the PVD supplier who did the sample can't do them at quantity. Being moved to a new supplier who will be able to do it Will update everyone when it's complete. Cheers!

[KingRama]

Apologies, for some reason, some of these may have been marked as shipped. Please disregard :/ Don't know what happened!

Was marking all the M4 orders and shipped and something messed up :/

Sorry for the brief moment of excitement! :S

[KingRama]

Okay, just spoke with my manufacturer.

Soooo.. all the keycaps where machined, beadblasted and polished.

But, the PVD supplier can not hang them at quantity the way they are machined.

So now, we have revised the design to include a feature where they can hang the caps, there will be another delay as they have to remachine and repolish them. Will keep you updated!

Apologies all for the delay

Cheers.

[paulforgione]

Sorry to hear that! 
Hopefully the manufacturer is covering the costs since it sounds like their oversight, not yours?

My Black Bird should be delivered tomorrow, but I'm still waiting on my R4 Zeals, so it'll be race between them and these Liquid X's.

Yeah, they're covering it and are very apologetic It's more the PVD suppliers fault if anything - they did the sample cap with no issues, but can't seem to do it at quantity without a feature to hang it.

So as it stands, they have made a new fixture to hold the part, then they are going to machine it tomorrow then repolish the next day (24/11) then will be going back to the PVD supplier after that

So, it's sounding like it will be done ideally next week.

The race is on!

[KingRama]

Hey all!

Manufacturer sent me some pics on what they're working on - they're creating a jig for hanging for each cap.


But. LOOK. AT. THAT. MIRROR. FINISH.  The raw color looks amazing

Some of the caps will be sent to meetups, raffled off and a remainder may be sold (not sure yet, will see!)

[Kominyetska]

I'm so exited for this key! Can't wait to pop mine onto my daily driver.

Can't wait for these! My Zeals should be here today, which means I may just get my Blackbird together before I head home for the holidays.

At the very least, ask the whoever uses the cap where their fingers have been.

Really looking forward to these.

So when to the wider caps come out? (I know, but it isn't like you've released a new product in the last... 4 days.)

Please be patient

Mine came in today. Wow, once again mate, nice ****ing work. The cap itself is pretty weighty too, it's got some heft to it, and as always packaging is top notch.

Now just to wait for the next board/kit to come in that this will go on. Profile sits nicely with DSA granite, but its a little too 'black' for that set.

Woah, already!? HAH, one of the perks of living in Aus I guess - you're always the first to receive it

Glad you like it mate!! It is definitely one hefty cap



ALSO NOTE! For the caps to fit best, it must be aligned with the RAMA on the back reading left to right. The Stem is not symmetric horizontally and vertically, the widths are different

[Shados]

Mine was waiting for me when I got home today . Heavier than I was expecting, even compared to other metal caps I have. Finish is really nice, and doesn't pick up fingerprints anywhere near as much as I thought it would. Feels great, and packaging is awesome of course ^^.

And yup, fingerprints aren't as bad as you'd expect for something black - and if it is really annoying you can get an oleophobic coating and drop it on Thanks dude!

Was very excited to received them today.  Nice packing over all.  However, out of the 12x that I ordered, none of them fit, all were loose, and by a large margin.  Very disappointed when you are paying a large premium for these.  I feel like the other non shinny aluminum are worth more.

Hey mate, what switches are you using? Did your package come with the disclaimer? The caps will fit perfectly on some switches and not so well on others - since they are metallic the stem have no flex in comparison to a plastic cap. If the cap doesn't fit tightly on the switch you can add a piece of tape on top of the stem and then place it down on the switch to act as a shim. This should create a tight hold. It must also be orientated so the logo on the base reads horizontally. Unfortunately due to the large variance in the MX range, it must be designed for the maximum in mind as to not strip the larger-end MX stems :( Thanks for the kind remarks with the packaging :)  Oh andthat is a crazily metallic board :O FULLMETALCAPS

Did you even read the instructions included with the package, I had the same issue with Gateron  switches, just use a bit of tape as per instructions. I don't have this issue when used with cherry switched

Wow! These are really special. Torn between gold and rose!<3

My duckey has cherry switches.  I know about the tape trick.  I am saying that these caps cost a fortune, I expected it be perfect.  It is a very nice one, but this looseness killed it for me.  I was expecting it to be some what loose like the other non shinny caps, which I believed is also from Rama, but the gaps on these are much wider.

I'll wait till my X caps gets here and measure the stems with a caliper. I'm interested in finding out the relative tolerances between the two caps.

In any case, if you are not satisfied with them, I'm sure Rama will let you return them for a refund, I know he stands behind the quality of his products 100%

Yeah this. The problem with the MX switch and machined caps is you have to design for the maximum width - and then use shims to fit onto thinner stems. It's just the nature of it - there's no way around it :(

After debating, I decide to keep the caps, too much hassle to send back.  Rama offered a full refund if I send back 11 caps and let me keep 1 for shipping fee.  He's being extremely nice and generous, I definitely would do business again. 

l just wish the tightness were a bit better, as I have no issues with the other 37x caps.  It just an obsession I have that the caps must be perfect   I guess now just wait for @zisp to do a full mods run.

Awww man, thanks so much - I really am very sorry that they did not meet your expectation. If you can you should try the tape trick and see how that works for you, it should create a really tight fit
I will be doing some aluminium caps soon!
