Saw the email sent through the store, but didn't see the original in first pass. Turning on the microswitches now.

Order placed. :)
Order received about 3 days later. Nice a quick! I also got a little baggie of Hawaii's version of a Hershey's Kiss, with macadamia nut bits in them - yummy. Thank you!
For those of you interested, I measured the current draw of the various button LED colors, and thought others might be interested. I've thrown in the draw of the Ultimarc MiniPac, as well, since I'll be using those in my project and it was easy to grab a reading. These are 12V LEDs, driven at 5V (they're plenty bright at 5V, if my opinion):
Red: 7.18mA
Blue: 4.97mA
Green: 5.42mA
Yellow: 4.79mA
Ultimarc MiniPac: 19.28mA
In my project, I plan to drive the LEDs off of the USB ports 5V supply, since I'm building stand-alone sticks for use in the living room on the TV (like a console, but with arcade controls, instead of a gamepad), and don't want to run separate power leads to each stick for the LEDs. Since I'll have 8 buttons (1 red, 2 blue, 2 green, 2 yellow, and 1 white) plus one MiniPac per stick, that amounts to a 61.61mA draw. That's well below USB's 500mA supply (not all USB ports put out 500mA, though - it is lower on some devices, such as some laptops - check your device's specifications! I'll be using a Raspberry Pi B+, which can deliver up to 600mA, and can be told to deliver up to 1.2mA via software, so no worries for me). Even still, pretty much anything will deliver 62mA for me with no effort at all, so it should be all good.

Placed my first order with Paradise Arcade Shop just now. Switching over from HAPP sticks and buttons to Sanwa and Siemitsu on some custom builds. Looking forward to receiving product!
Couple quick things that you (Paradise Arcade) may not be aware of. I did email you a couple weeks ago asking questions about Japanese style sticks and buttons and never received a reply. I'm thinking these emails may be getting lost as I've read this has happened in the past and it would be a shame if you were missing customer questions for some reason with emails getting lost or misdirected. Secondly, FedEx EXPRESS shipping was showing up for FREE at checkout to Chicagoland area for me just now. I'm thinking that may be an error as well since I use FedEx regularly and EXPRESS is normally overnight and quite expensive compared to Ground or Home delivery. I selected USPS Priority.
I have run a small business for years and just wanted to say thanks for offering this product to us. You guys do a great job and I will happily refer you to friends and clients after my order is received! Thanks again.

Thank you for the feedback, I will have our Web site manager look into the shipping pricing and appreciate you letting us know.
We are working on a new ticket system for contacting the shop to make sure communication is efficient and not lost. I hope this will fill the gaps in communication. Let me know if you have any questions about the order when it arrives
