So are the only balls (uh huh huh) available for these shafts (heh heh heh) the ones shown above?

Be nice if I could get matching ball (uh huh huh huh huh) styles with the one I already have on my CP (this one):

I was wondering the same thing - even with a wood cp I expect you might see a faint glow on any unlit button near an illuminated button. But you would most likely need to be in a dark room to notice.

In order to house 5mm leds we decided to make custom balltops.  While doing them in colors may be in the future, RGB LEDs don't show as well through colored plastics.  A blue top like that acts as a very nice filter that does not allow red light to pass through.  I'm happy to put our leds alone up for sale and people can try getting the 5mm led up into the bubble top, but it will be tight :)

In regards to light bleeding.... Nep had a great idea, and we will be selling all light rings with shrink tubing included.

Maybe I missed this above, but what size balls (huh huh huh--sorry, but it's really hard--heh heh heh--to stop doing this) are those shafts turned for?

armi0024:

The ball tops are 1.5", made the same size as original Wico Ball tops
