Thanks for the reply! I understand that it’s a somewhat… impatient question but I thought I’d ask!
The Prototypes look great!

Prototype had matte coating!
And the results look very good.
Nice vid. I would like to see how the KOF guys at Taiwan feel about the buttons for a game with a somewhat different input system than Street Fighter.
I just pledged for Akuma. I’ll be bringing all those buttons with me to tournaments so players will be able to test them out.
Haha I knew that Matte would be nice. Looks and sound great if ill be trying to get some people to donate and add more to what I already gave.
Great Video!
Curiously what kinda optical stick is it?
@orcitect:
Thanks!
The optical stick is development by Taiwan players - Dr. sweet potato. 
It’s a modification parts, replacement JLF micro switch becomes optical Stick.
We expect introduced optical Stick kit after HBFS-30.

Hi, guys.
We have an important update.
You must check it!
We canceled QUICK CONNECT WIRE.
And We trying to do something better.
Therefore, we design a new Adapter socket for the Cherry MX a switch.
Through Adapter socket will be easier to install and to replace HBFS-30.
It is compatible with existing female terminal.
You do not have to change your wiring system.
Replace HBFS-30 just like replace a new OBSF-30.
If you have to participate HBFS-30 fund-raising, or you are planning to join.
We will not charge you any extra fees.
But Adapter socket has really raised our production costs.
So we will raise the MSRP of HBFS-30, after the fund-raising.
Now join the funded Campaign is most favorable.
Please share it to your friends!
Finally,
Because an Adapter socket is equal to 2 Quick Connect Wires.
Therefore, we adjusted the contents of Perks.
The Novice:
15 Quick Connect Wires > 8 Adapter sockets
The Professional:
20 Quick Connect Wires > 10 Adapter sockets
The Master:
30 Quick Connect Wires > 15 Adapter sockets
The Monster:
120 Quick Connect Wires > 60 Adapter sockets
You Akuma !!:
250 Quick Connect Wires > 125 Adapter sockets
Thanks for your attention!
I hop you will like it !!
Protoype of Adapter socket
If you want to change anything, please send me a message.
I think you mean to use the word “raised” not [S]improved[/S] cost of production just trying to help but good show my friend good show very good idea
Awesome, we got funding from GamerBee!!
This is a great development, keep up the good work
Looks interesting enough, I shall be supporting this fully as soon as I am paid in full at my job and set the money on my account. Kudos on the project, its really an amazing thing.
Oh yea, sorry to double post but I wanted to ask something important. Does the free shipping count for shipping to Nassau, Bahamas?
I think D3V might need to post an update on the home page for all to see 
I am sorry about that, only USA and Canada had Free shipping service.
Other countries must add $ 10 for shipping.
Those animated sequences are deeply upsetting.
Good work.
The new little adaptor looks good! possibly a bit better long term than quick connect adaptors! Keep up the good work!
Will the final buttons be Matte as well or will the cap be translucent as shown in previous GIF images? I’d prefer the latter. Nevertheless, going to contribute 50 before the end of this week and possibly 32 more for my brother.
I really like this idea and will support it but I still like hearing the loud clicking sound when I press them.
Different switches (like Cherry Blues) will give you an audible click still.
