Edit: I've worked out all the foreseeable problems, and right now I'm leaning towards selling only the keyed nubs which work with my hopup arm. I'm not sure whether I want to force you guys to buy the arm, but I think that using the nubs with the stock arm would reduce performance. What do you think?

so if something works well for a while it's considered outdated? the only benefit i can see with your design is that it would be less likely to loose the nub when disassembling the hopup. so for like 3x the cost of a normal plastic hopup arm and nub that do the job just fine, you have solved the issue of loosing the nub. great.
sorry if it sounds like im bashing you as it's not my intension, it's just that it seems like you're over thinking and over engineering something that already works really well. if you could make something that works like a PTW hopup for AEGs, i'll take 3.
