Loved the screenshot of Wilba's comment. I have been getting all the reminders / email updates after purchasing a rama kara seq 2 (going on 2 years now). Was good to see Wilba's take on the situation / what legal action was actually being taken over. Definitely will never be purchasing another Rama product.
@@itsjawdan I think there really is nothing we can do besides hope that the products get shipped by at least 2095 :) Also just never buy from the company again to make sure you don't end up in this situation again... much better companies such as Mode / QK / Omnitype etc etc etc
I would love to see this hobby move away from the group buy model to a traditional In-stock (resale) model. Thank you for the updates, we all appreciate them.
It should be the top post on r/MK in the last week. Unfortunately OP didn't put "Epomaker" anywhere in the title or post so it doesn't come up in Reddit search results if you use it as a keyword. The mod u/Cobertt made the following comment on it: "I mean there is a reason this sub doesn’t allow for Epomaker to post or their products be linked to. You are not the first person they have left hanging like this, and won’t be the last. Their boards are riddled with issues. I was disappointed to see them sponsoring LTT videos recently. I have raised concern with LTT’s team about the recent promotion of their product. We know that LTT has a wide reach of PC users and I feel many unknowing people could potentially be buying into a brand that does not care about their products or customers."
FYI, even tho Rama is absolute trash and everyone is right to avoid them at all costs, it does seem that the Seq2 orders are being fulfilled and shipped right now, seems they're starting with Aus order first and then working on international orders
The Korean meet-up that happened recently was huge. Hopefully, the Asian communities can keep this hobby afloat while Western communities recover. More affordable customs, primarily from China, also helps bringing new comers to the hobby. Especially in middle-income countries like mine.
I have been out of the loop for a while, and I did not realize how lucky I got with GMK Sumi. I got my kit and mats from Project Keyboard in late 2022. It looks like stuff started going tits up shortly after that. It's a shame because Sumi is my favorite set I have, and been on my board since.
Seems like Novelkeys picked it up, not sure if it’s past the window, but I want to say they might have offered a discount for those in the original GB. I was not in the original GB, but I think the sets are shipping to Novelkeys now.
Damn, SP quitting now too? Wonder if they'll let another MFR have the rights to their SA/DSA processes (and whatever other profiles SP made). Been thinking a while of getting at least ONE SA set and giving it a shot. EDIT: I can help you at least a bit with some of those German pronunciations if need be :D
Never thought i would see teha pronouncing stuttgart baden-württemberg lol. And never thought it would be him that informs me about a german keyboard meatup close to me. I will be there!
Really hope mykeyboardeu doesn’t go under. I have a keyboard GB I joined with them and am hoping to get it in the near future. Seems like they’ve been working hard to turn things around and make a comeback, and I’m really hopeful and optimistic that they will.
Seems like all of their employees have been sick since Christmas. At least it looks like that according to the non existing staff messages on their discord server except that one small update. Highly doubt we will get anything
@@wheeeexe7156 I had heard they were paying the necessary bills to date for the Werk-One keyboard to be produced and delivered, and were maybe one final payment away from what they owed to the factory for it to be completed. Hopefully it will get done…..
So I just found out about your monthly news segments and I had a GMK Bingsu preorder/group buy for Project Keyboard, I found out they went out of business a few months ago and asked my bank for my money back for fraud and they didn't do anything, is there anything else I can do now or did I just lose $180?
dang the Rama drama is sad, I haven’t really had any personal interest in their products, but to hear what Wilba laid out is such a bummer, I hope Kate does super well in spite of having to go through the legal fight, sounds like she’s a real one
In my experience they have been great, although I'm sure some sets have had issues like with any manufacturer. They were just one of the big names with keycaps and they produced some really great sets.
I purchased mw keycaps from otakeebs 2 years ago and still havent got them yet. Its okay though i got used to projects not making it like the supernova tkl from charue design.
the works part of rama :icant:
LMAO
teehee
Rama Worksornot
Nah for real 😂
burnt lol

Me too! I asked for a refund but they have completely stoped replying to my emails. Are you still waiting or what can we do?

My first "real" purchases in this hobby were from mykeyboardeu and Rama in 2021 and beginning 2022. Still waiting for my GMK set and the m60😢
been waiting on rama’s kate key caps.😢
Shame, Rama works is what first got me into this hobby. Sad to see how things are turning out
Watching years of rama unfolding without working is wild. Appreciate the update taeha, as always :)
I really enjoy the fact that you were less milktoast in this report than I thought you were going to be.
I'm still waiting for both my ramaworks boards ordered back 2 years ago - this is ridiculous and at this stage, all I want is my money back.
DMV meet was my first meet and I can't wait for more in the future! Thanks Taeha brudda
I would love to see this hobby move away from the group buy model to a traditional In-stock (resale) model.
Thank you for the updates, we all appreciate them.
Hobby definitely is trending towards in-stock but group buys will still be a thing!
I love these update/news videos. Please keep making them! I could watch hours of this!
Whats the reasoning to avoid Epomaker? Cant really find any info on it.

garbage boards, clones, trash customer service
Why might this be the end of SA keycaps?
The Rama drama has actually prompted me to go buy a Hibi board!
My very first (well expected) custom keyboard, now more than 2 yrs and nothing at all. 😅😅
Always great updates, thank you!
Maybe she wears the works part. Hilarious 😆
I am still waiting on a Kara Seq2 for over 2 1/2 years.
will you be going to the tokyo keyboard meetup this year?
I would love to but not sure if itll work out yet 😭
When is it?
FYI, even tho Rama is absolute trash and everyone is right to avoid them at all costs, it does seem that the Seq2 orders are being fulfilled and shipped right now, seems they're starting with Aus order first and then working on international orders
Oh forreal?
@@TaehaTypesYea, there have been reports from Aus customers saying they've received shipping notifications on the Rama sub.
Yeah I gave up on my order months ago. If they show up, they show up.
man its amazing how fast this community fell off after covid, everyone is closing up and moving on along with so many legal issues

Stuttgart meetup ich komme 😂

Project Keyboard Scammed me on GMK Slasher.
Seems like Novelkeys picked it up, not sure if it’s past the window, but I want to say they might have offered a discount for those in the original GB. I was not in the original GB, but I think the sets are shipping to Novelkeys now.
At this point I just want Rama to go away. Too much damage had been done long ago and they’ll never win back an ounce of my support
오호
Thank you for the video. Sad that SP management team is retiring.
Maybe KLC can buy 👀
"no cap" felt that in my bone
Damn, will SA caps have a resale markup then? 🤔
we shall seeeee
Is GMK broke? Where TF is my Jamón 2? I ordered it and all the expensive add on bits aaaages ago
replay the video
MONTHLY UPLOADS MY ASS, TAEHA FAILS AGAIN! kekw
IVE STILL BEEN UPLOADING MONTHLY OKAY JUST MISSED THE NEWS ONES
@@TaehaTypes baby i hate when we fight
@@_IanOfEarth come give me kith right now you wont
@@TaehaTypes 😍
Are RAMA and Hibi somehow connected? Maybe I misunderstood what Taeha was saying about them.
hibi used to work for/with Rama works but has since left to be hibi. also they used to date 😂
@@theslowpokieAhh. Interesting. Yes, Kate seems to be killing it at Hibi with new designs and stuff.
Damn, SP quitting now too?
Wonder if they'll let another MFR have the rights to their SA/DSA processes (and whatever other profiles SP made). Been thinking a while of getting at least ONE SA set and giving it a shot.
EDIT: I can help you at least a bit with some of those German pronunciations if need be :D
It seems like they'd ideally like someone from the community to buy them out at the moment if you got some cash lying around hehe
Love the hustle but man I miss your old videos hahah
Haha which ones or styles? Appreciate you still continuing to watch
first hehe
unfortunately second according to my dashboard :(
If kate really is getting sued, i would be more than happy to contribute in funding for her legal fees. Someone make a gofundme!
can i have a free keyboard
Never thought i would see teha pronouncing stuttgart baden-württemberg lol. And never thought it would be him that informs me about a german keyboard meatup close to me. I will be there!
lol well put
Works left RAMA Works
I should submit a case to PayPal and get my money back for the m65c that I will probably never receive since it's already been 2 and half years
Suggestion: Hibi to be renamed to "Kate Was The One That Worked".
Really hope mykeyboardeu doesn’t go under. I have a keyboard GB I joined with them and am hoping to get it in the near future. Seems like they’ve been working hard to turn things around and make a comeback, and I’m really hopeful and optimistic that they will.
kinda same , still waiting for them to get the "financial aid" for their shipments from gmk, waiting for gmk hazakura since the gb in 2021 lmfao
I have 10. they ceased all relevant communication. “financial aid” was announced more than 6 months ago, they never got it. we ain’t getting shit.
Seems like all of their employees have been sick since Christmas. At least it looks like that according to the non existing staff messages on their discord server except that one small update. Highly doubt we will get anything
@@wheeeexe7156 I had heard they were paying the necessary bills to date for the Werk-One keyboard to be produced and delivered, and were maybe one final payment away from what they owed to the factory for it to be completed. Hopefully it will get done…..
rama does not in fact work
Appreciate the updates as someone super new to this space, cant wait till I can go to a meetup eithier here in Australia or overseas!
Welcome to the hobby and thank you for watching!
No worries! Thanks for making great content! :) @@TaehaTypes
Sometimes being poor has its ups, can get burned if I don’t join GBs
the real big brane strat
So I just found out about your monthly news segments and I had a GMK Bingsu preorder/group buy for Project Keyboard, I found out they went out of business a few months ago and asked my bank for my money back for fraud and they didn't do anything, is there anything else I can do now or did I just lose $180?
Katie Works
hello nathan teehee teeps
hello when will you buy me a taycan?
@@TaehaTypes when you stream your taeha pipes sbl
FRICK
@@TaehaTypes I heard they're doing a group buy for their latest model year -- you going in Mr Taeha?? :)
love kates and her works
dang the Rama drama is sad, I haven’t really had any personal interest in their products, but to hear what Wilba laid out is such a bummer, I hope Kate does super well in spite of having to go through the legal fight, sounds like she’s a real one
Dang really? Alphakeys? I used to order from them a ton. Sadge.
0:53 Hihi, "Californio"
yooo
rama making a bunch of random non keyboard shit turned me off super hard like bro wtf are u doing finish and deliver your keeb shit first
Pretty sure that was the sentiment of most people in the keyboard space haha
You don't want a baseball bat and a duck figurine? What about a chess set?
Didnt SP just revamp PMK?
Right? Perhaps it was to make the business look better for buyers.
NOOOO I WANTED SP'S SA LINE :(
They had the only colourway I wanted
time to HODL
Wait, elaine's kinda smoking O_O
those hibi boards are pretty cool
Pretty sure I’ll never receive my Kara’s 😅
I ordered a Kara seq-2 and apparently there have been people in Australia receiving theirs so hopefully you can also get what you paid for.
I really hope someone continues on Signature Plastics’ work. They will be sorely missed if not :(
Are they the really only good SA manufacturer? I know of Maxkey but that's about it
In my experience they have been great, although I'm sure some sets have had issues like with any manufacturer. They were just one of the big names with keycaps and they produced some really great sets.
I wish I could’ve attended the ucsd meetup but im in the Philippines right now but ima return 2 days after the meetup happens
These videos are great, know you don't want to be a drama channel and are at risk with videos like these because of what is happening currently.
Thanks for the latest news Nathan! Always nice to see new videos from you even when the topics are a bit grim.
Taeha not that hard to pronounce Stuttgart I think you need a German crash course 😂
I swear I saw a video on how to pronounce it before making this one T_T
I purchased mw keycaps from otakeebs 2 years ago and still havent got them yet. Its okay though i got used to projects not making it like the supernova tkl from charue design.
Feels like a fever dream now, but I remember ordering Rama’s keycaps back when they were called Kate caps, they were called Kate caps right?🥲
Yes they initially did launch with that name
I ordered three sets of Kate keycaps..... Good news is I just found gmk MTNU which are kinda similar and the 800s are exactly the look I wanted
