We came to the consensus with Gateron that they would have to remake the entire batch due to the prevalence of inconsistencies (lube quantity / downstroke sensation / sound profile) in the switches. Gateron has informed us that the replacements should be completed by 20 Dec 2022, at which point they will be shipped to RAMA WORKS.
The company prides itself on designing and engineering exceptional products. As we hold ourselves to the highest QC benchmarks, we will not allow these defective units to enter the market. We unreservedly apologise for the inconvenience caused to our customers and vendor partners.
22 Dec 2022
Gateron, the switch manufacturer, is currently running at a reduced production capacity. They have shipped the initial batch (of replacement units) for quality control checking. However, at this stage, we are still expecting to receive the remaining units early next year once we sign off on the QC batch. The flawed batch of switches is returning to Gateron from ourselves and distributors.

The initial batch of DUCK switches has passed our QC which we have begun to ship out. The remaining batch is expected to arrive at our warehouse for fulfilment in mid-January.
13 Jan 2023
The remaining batch has now arrived at our warehouse and after inspecting them and ensuring they are up to our QC standards, our team will now be fulfilling and dispatching orders.
The DUCK Switches are expected to complete production by the end of September, where it will then proceed to fulfilment.

23 Nov 2022
Batch 3 of DUCK switches arrived at the RW warehouse. During the preliminary assessment, we found that the switches were noticeably different to the previous batches. Our QC team immediately collated a randomised sample and disassembled these to investigate the root cause of the issue.
We discovered that there were significant discrepancies in the lubing of the switches. As the issue was caught quite early on, there were no defective products shipped to end consumers.
25 Nov 2022
Gateron conducted an internal review as per our request. It was found that the issue was due to a blockage by grease sediment in the automated lubing machine. While this issue was discovered during production, the machine operator failed to quarantine all of the affected units resulting in an outflow of defective units.
Measures were implemented to prevent the above from occurring again and manufacturing of replacement units began immediately.

The latest samples of the THERMAL SEQ2 keycaps arrived in our warehouse around mid-June. They did not pass our internal QC, with minor defects clearly visible on the majority of the keycaps. We have opted to send back the keycaps for repair.

STATUS: Refinement ⚙
Upon inspection, our team found the finish quality of the PENS unsatisfactory, and as such, they did not pass our internal QC. They were sent around mid-August back to our manufacturer for refinishing.
22nd December: When we received the PENS in August, our team decided we were not happy with the finish, and, ultimately, they did not pass our internal quality check. They were returned to our manufacturer to be reworked and are nearing completion. They are on track to ship to us before the Chinese New Year. At our core - we want to provide our customers with the expected quality for all our products.
