About the ADAMAS
Introducing the Adamas by RAE—a blend of fine jewellery artistry and thoughtful engineering. Guided by our co-founder and seasoned jewellery designer, William, we set out to bring a touch of the diamond’s timeless beauty to the world of mechanical keyboards. The Adamas reflects this vision, balancing form and function with a careful attention to detail.
The design of Adamas is inspired by the elegance of a diamond, with each curve and line thoughtfully crafted to mirror the facets that create a gemstone’s sparkle. Made from durable 6063 aluminium, the body of Adamas has a subtle strength, while the internal weight gives it a satisfying heft, offering a solid, full-bodied typing experience.
The heart of Adamas lies in its sandblasted copper weights, both internal and external, showcasing our dedication to craftsmanship and precision. The external weight, viewable from the bottom, reflects the top profile of a diamond—a nod to its inspiration. A small badge on the back left corner completes the design, hinting at the clean lines and profile of a diamond—a final detail that speaks to our care in design.
Adamas isn’t just a keyboard; it’s a carefully crafted piece that brings jewellery-inspired artistry into a unique typing experience. With each keystroke, you’ll notice the attention to detail and the balance of design—a keyboard crafted to offer both beauty and function in one refined creation.

Adamas FAQ
The Adamas introduces a Gasket Integrated Top-Mount, combining traditional top mount with gasket tabs under the plate for a more refined typing experience.
The Adamas is available in Aurora Silver, Coastal Blue, Watercress Green, and Desert Taupe.
The Adamas will come with a CNC-milled, anodised aluminium full plate. CNC-milled, carbon fibre (CF) full plates will also be available as an optional add-on. Plate files will also be provided at a later date for those who prefer to custom cut their own.
The Adamas will come with a full aluminium plate and in fixed configurations, but additional plate materials will be available for those looking to customize their typing experience.
