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

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.

Sorry to hear that!  :eek:
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.  :p

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!

Scrolling through quickly I thought you made a buckling spring version of the cap as well, but then realized it was just a cover thingy :'(

Still, looking great! Glad I changed my mind last second and got an order in :p

Makes me wonder if an adaptor is a possibility, never actually seen a buckling spring cap!

Thanks mate, sorry to keep you waiting so long :(

12 of them!!! That's more than most people would spend on entire keyboards!

Also, I'm liking the look of that, Liquid Mercury's got a nice ring to it too ;)

Instructions unclear; licked Liquid Mercury cap, have mercury poisoning.  ;)

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.

I recall playing with mercury as a kid. This may explain aspects of my personality today.

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.)

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 :o



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 :)

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 ^^.

Yeah dude, the weight is super surprising - when I had a pallet of them I was like goddamn - HOW. Stainless Steel is amazing :P I'd like to experiment heavier metals, but you'd need springs to match :P

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 :D Thanks dude!

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 ^^.

Yeah dude, the weight is super surprising - when I had a pallet of them I was like goddamn - HOW. Stainless Steel is amazing :P I'd like to experiment heavier metals, but you'd need springs to match :P

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

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%

I got mine today - lovely packaging as expected. Great quality, as expected. Noticeable fitment difference between different stems, but you know, expected.

Thanks Rama - I'll post some pictures later.

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.
