Converting CP into LED lighted.

You actually don't need to wire power to the LED wiz, it draws the power it needs for itself off the USB.  It also has a place that allows you to tap into the USB 5v to use for your lights.   That isn't that many lights, I think it should work fine if the USB is plugged into the computer, if you are plugging into a hub, make sure its powered and you will be fine.

You can also just tap the 5v line from a molex.   I am using 12v lights drawing power off of my computer power supply.  The only reason you would attach an external power supply would be if you are mixing voltages and want to use the banks, otherwise, you daisy chain the positives to the anodes of the LED's then you connect the individual grounds to the LED wiz along with the ground for whatever external supply you are using.

Great!

Also has anyone had experience with those joysticks?  Is it better to do a color led in a  white nob? or Clear LED in the Already colored Nob?  or just do A color led with the same color nob?

Just send them an e-mail, Bryan is super good about getting back to you. I got my buttons from them, the chrome bezeled ones.  I LOVE them, swapped out the standard micro's for their 20g micros.  Smooth as silk.  I had my brother in law make a comment on how sweet they were, and he's not even a big aracade guy.  Anyways, I had the same question regarding getting colored buttons and the same colored lights, colored lights and clear buttons or clear lights and colored buttons.  He recommended I go with colored/colored.  He even said that if I didn't like the way they looked, I could send them back and swap them out. 

 My admin buttons though, are clear with colored buttons, and i think they look good. 

I would just e-mail him, tell him the look you are going for and I am sure he will help you out. 

Oh and if you are looking for buttons, give his a shot.  I dig them.

Hi, I have one of these joysticks from Paradise Arcade. Mine is a Blue Crystal Ball top, with Either a blue or White LED. This thing looks great unlit, and  :censored: amazing lit up.

I Also cant recommend the seller enough. Fantastic Communication, Great Products and very quick postage, and im living in Australia. My only gripe is that these are not yet available in RGB Leds

They are also listed on ebay, Here is a link of things for sale
