[GB]NAMA: Now Officially Live

[Ckeeb]

Hi Friends,

NAMA is Now Officially Live!

Thanks for following this project for so long. Back in 2021, we ran a GB for Mammoth75 . 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 would be so much interest in it and keep asking for Mammoth75 V2 after delivery. Some friends asked us to recolor Mammoth75 and run an R2, but we think it should be a once-in-a-lifetime design for our community, and we didn't do this. However, we keep getting requirements asking, and seriously, we knew we must give another trial. There were design ideas we couldn't achieve from Mammoth due to manufacturing limitations at that time, and there were new ideas we gained 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 stronger than the Mammoth. But Nama is not designed with the idea for a "V2" by size; it is created to embrace our custom keyboard's manufacturing skills progress during the past years and rekindle the spark in a hardcore keyboard enthusiast's heart. It's heavy, stable, and reliable.

Ticking and Typing

Like mechanical keyboards, watches possess a distinct beauty of their own, and we integrated that beauty into Nama. With the prototype, we discovered that winding the watch spring was the most enjoyable moment. The ticking of the watch conveyed the flow of time, while our fingertips typed out the rhythm of each precious second.
But then we asked ourselves: why were the clock hands necessary? We chose to remove them before finalizing the design, and we knew we were right. The continuously rotating gears remind us that the present moment is the best. Just enjoy the movement.

NAMA Purchase Guide
 
GB Time

GB Limit

300 Units globally

Due to the manufacturing difficulties, in order to deliver on time, we need to slow down every process and must limit the QTY very strictly. We will set an initial limit with every partner and check real-time sales every day. Once we are closer to the limit, we will inform all partners to stop GB.

Structure

Warming: No quick-assembly ball catch system on Nama!
In order to give the most stable and secure structure, we decided to use a traditional screw-in system to make the board as seamless as possible. We do not give a quick assembly ball-catch system for this reason. Please check the Nama structure below:




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 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 Precious Wuque old friends, who have supported 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, and you can also choose or not to choose switches or keycaps available from the Wuque official website and have your NAMA prebuilt. If you choose available switches and Keycaps from the Wuque website, the added cost will be 80 USD more as a bundle.

We have to say that Nama is more of 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, and price for purchasing your Nama before GB time. Every order will have our special service team to follow your order before ordering, during the making process, during the wait for delivery, and after delivery. Check more details in the later part.
