There's nothing wrong with Ponyboy (and other suppliers) having access to the buttons. It actually makes life easier, since I don't have to frantically worry about getting more batches in.
I'm just one small person who provided leaf-switch samples and convinced IL to make the buttons, and I'm ecstatic that they did it. I don't have the deep pocket of a company like Happ, so there was no way to keep them exclusive. Depending on my own sales, I'll probably finish up the batch I ordered and step back to let vendors like Ponyboy sell them.
And just for the record, Ponyboy is a great vendor and an excellent human being. I fully support what he's able to do for this community.
