Back to the thread - any updates on how this is going?
Looks like there is a dedicated site for the buttons. It also shows some hints of the 24mm buttons, an optical lever board and Taiwan’s KDIT VL-case. That would be awesome to have a dedicated site to import the arcade stick case. I would like to see Vetash32’s sticks on the site too.
Nice find!
Highly anticipated!
I approve of this project!
Is there an ETA on these?
Indiegogo indicates mid-October, and these projects tend to run a little late, so ‘by Christmas’ would be pretty good.
Hi Guys:
I strongly feel that everyone is very to looking forward to HBFS-30.
But the time of making a mold is about 200 to 300 hours.
Damn long! and we need make 3 molds.
For the high quality of the product, we can not speed up the the mold engraving of speed.
Now, we are expected in early October to complete the mold.
In mid-October mass production.
To complete the production of the first batch in early November.
And before the end of November, I hope HBFS-30 will be in your hands.
Existing state reports:
Completed part: carton
We have fold 300 cartons in the past few days. 
Welcome to visit our new website:

And we will publish some optical joystick kit information in the near.

It will be interesting to see how the optical joystick will compare performance wise with a JLF-TP-8YT.
Any updates, Milkshark?

I hope there’s an option for the clear buttons. They look way too nice.
I tried to fix your photos but they were hosted on Gmail. You will need to move them over to your site.
Thank you for reminding me.
I fixed it.
If the keychains light up I might just have a nerdgasm!!
Do all levels of pledges get a keychain? I don’t remember.
Interesting Forgot about this new buttons. I need to do some readings to see what to order
Ooh, any way we can option for the clear buttons?
The clear buttons look awesome. I’m thinking I’ll order a bunch if/when they come out, along with the 24mm models.
Agreed, I really like the clear variant. Hopefully it’s worth it to him to have a parallel run of clears, same mold so really it shouldn’t be too bad to do so.
Hey Guys:
Production the clear version is a feasible scheme.
But the biggest problem is the production time and quantity.
The clear version may require additional time for production.
Almost a month.
This will affect the delivery time.
As quantity,
Well…I must be discussed with the manufacturer.
Maybe I should make a questionnaire.
You don’t need a questionnaire. There’s always love for clear buttons. ALWAYS.
As for this particular order, I think it would be better to deliver what people signed up for. If you want to set up another pre-order special for clears, I’m sure you’ll get just as much support for that as well.
my 2 cents at least
