I bet a thin coat of white translucent nail polish would soften the glow (or mix white & clear). The more the coats the less direct the light. Yeah thats the ticket I could spray a thin coat of a milky white mixed with clear on the entire interior of the joystick too. |

Wait....wait....wtf is this: http://cgi.ebay.com/Femme-Ultra-Violet-UV-Glow-Neon-Nail-Polish-/390261090062?pt=UK_Health_Beauty_Nails_Manicure_Pedicure_CA&hash=item5add5fa70e#ht_1103wt_905 holy ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- I wonder if I mixed this UV clear with white & painted the LED's if that would diffuse & dilute the light to a glow rather than a beam? Too bad I do not have an airbrush to paint the interior of the stick (ahem hint hint to anyone who doe$) |

I would think painting the inside of the handle with anything would give it a odd untronlike [< ? ] look. Maybe more of a diffuser setup [ like a juke ] ? |
