Title: [GB] RAMA STAINLESS STEEL MIRROR X/O CAP (SHIPPED - EXTRAS IN STOCK)
Post by: KingRama on Mon, 19 December 2016, 16:53:13

❌⭕❌⭕

FREE SHIPPING. LIQUID SERIES. STAINLESS STEEL. MIRROR FINISH.


Highly Limited quantities.
Liquid Mercury - 5 units
Liquid Rose/Liquid Gold - 10 units
Liquid Moon - 20 units
Liquid Black - 25 units (O ONLY)

Mirror finished exterior, underside is finely beadblasted.

Pricing on website.


Will ship early 2017 after manufacturing is complete - estimating around February.

GB will close either when stock depletes or before Jan 10th. If I do not reach manufacturing costs - full refunds will be issued.

Compared to the Liquid Black keycaps, these should be produced quicker then that round did as the manufacturer and I resolved/streamlined a few of the processes and had custom jigs made to hold the cap during PVD coating.

Here's what the Liquid Mercury and Liquid Black caps look like in person:

Oh, the liquid gold 'O' seems pretty cool. Wonder if there'll be any left by Friday.

I'm beginning to think your name is actually an acronym for Randomly Assaulting My Affluence. I'll just sign my paycheck over next time.

Those are just gorgeous.

And in the spirit of, "If I had some ham, I could make a ham and cheese sandwich, if I had some cheese": with these, I should have plenty of enough caps for the forthcoming RAMA boards I also don't have.

Damn you KingRama.
Since I missed the leftover X a couple of days ago I decided to go buy my partner things she actually wants for Christmas, and now you have liquid moon in X and O.

Teaches me for using my Rama fund.

LOL keep your partner happy man :P These caps actually feel like jewellery though, with a bit of modification you could turn it to something cool :P

Just got back from my trip to see my family and have 2 wave caps waiting for me when I got back, what a lovely surprise  :))

Looking forward to receiving this lot! Did you include any little surprises in my envelope?  :-*

P/S: is it just me or did you change supplier for the Black wave caps? The surface feels a little different from the Space Grey waves, these black and red one seems much smoother  :thumb:

Awesome!!

Keen eye mate! I did indeed, new manufacturer and also using a much higher grit beadblast! :D

Expect something in the next package ;) May have forgotten with that one, cannot remember haha. Can't wait for you to get it bro!

Ohhh, my gold O cap arrived last night. Very shiny :>.

You can take it with you as a portable mirror :P Glad you got it safe and sound bro!

ALSO, if they fit loose (OR too tight) - try rotating it 90 degrees ;) (and then 90 degrees again if too tight)

Else, get some pliers to squeeze the stem inwards (VERY SLIGHTLY) OR use tape as a shim :)


Oh and, cannot wait for you guys to get these!!

Yeah, unfortunately the Topre stem by nature requires the material to be readily flexible which metal cannot provide. Since the topre stem is basically a snaphook. I have looked into getting injection moulded inserts made, but it will take some investment :)

Hopefully some time in the future when I have some capital to spend :P
