Hi Friends,
Thank for following this project for so long. Back in 2021, we ran a GB for Mammoth75 (https://shop.wuquestudio.com/collections/mammoth75/products/gb-soonmammoth75) , it might be the first custom keyboard that has a whole piece of Mirror PVD bottom case, and the first custom keyboard with a big volume knob design. It was a very bold design and we didn't expect there were so much interested in it and keep asking for Mammoth75 V2 after delivery. There were friends asked us to recolor Mammoth75 and run a R2, but we think it should be an once-in-a-lifetime design for our community and we didn't do this. However, we keep getting requirements asking and seriousely we knew we must give another trial. There were design ideas we couldn't achieve from Mammoth due to manufacturing limitation at that time and there new ideas we gain gradually from our community.
From Mammoth to Nama
We pick the name "Nama" from "Paleoloxodon namadicus", it's the largest fossil elephant and one of the largest land mammals, by size, it's bigger and strongger than Mammoth. But Nama is not desgned with the idea for a "V2" by size, it is created to embrace our custom keyboard's manufacturing skill's progress during the past years and rekindle the spark in a hardcore keyboard enthusiasts' heart. It's heavy, stable and reliable.
Ticking,Typing ... Staying
As much as we like mechanical keyboard and watch share the same beautify in different ways, we make them to Nama. Winding the watch has been the most enjoyable moment on Nama. The ticking tells how the time flies, while with Nama, fingertips record the rhythm and every second of precious time. Why we need clock hands to draw our attention then? We decided to take them away before we almost finish the final prorotype, and we know we are right, the continousely rotating gears tell us the current moment is the best moment. Just enjoy.
Colors
We provide ten top case colors, match different bottom case colors made from either alumium or brass bottom case.

Structure
Warming: No quick-assembly ball catch system on Nama!
In order to give the most stable ane secured structure, we decided to use tradictional screw-in system, to make the board as seamless as possible. We do not give quick assemly ball-catch system for this reason. Please check Nama structure belowed:

Note:
Given the consideration to minimize the work when we don't have a quick release system, Nama will be prebuilt with lubed stabilizers, all you need to do is to install switches and keycaps!

Standard Edition and Bespoke Edition
Difference between the NAMA Standard Edition and the Bespoke Edition
Avaible for Public GB
- The NAMA Standard Edition comes in a fixed configuration for the top and bottom cases, though the movement edition is selectable. It does not include switches and keycaps.
Priority given to our Preciouse Wuque old friends, who had support us ever since 2020.
- The NAMA Bespoke Edition offers full customization, allowing you to choose the top case, bottom case, movement edition, plate, sound-dampening foam kit, you can also choose or not to choose switches or keycaps available from Wuque offical website and have your Nama prebuilt. If you choose available switches and Keycaps from Wuque website, the added cost will be 80 USD more as a bundle.
We have to say that Nama is more a design we create for our community, who comes along with us from Ikki68 (thanks again to Ikki68 OG guys!), Aurora, Mammoth, all the way till today. We will email you a google form with colors, parts, price about puchasing your Nama before GB time. Every order will have our special servie team to follow your order before ordering, during making choice, the wait of delivery and after delivery. Check more details at later part.
