Looks like this all fits with what you're doing.

The single LED option is a real pain since you would need to connect one resistor (included) to each LED.  I made a great trackball lighting circuit using 3 of these, but wouldn't recommend them for what you're doing

Paradise sells the joystick LEDs that go with the shaft here. 

You might want to see if Paradise has the rest of what you need, too.  :dunno

This harness is for buttons that have built in single-color LED holders (the piece on the right):

No Sanwa comparison!  :'(  How do you think the Seimitsu buttons compare?
