Umm, didn't you notice the microswitches? It's an 8-way with the same footprint and mounting plate as an LS-32/Zippyy.
Switch Rotary in the handle - Can do easy
RGB Lit handle - Can do easy
4-8 Servo or top switchable - No restrictor plates available for this stick AFAIK. Bryan or Andy may have more info about manufacturer options if available.
Optical rotary on the bottom with a lockable shaft - Not possible with the current tabs on the hemisphere pivot, might be able to make a retractable sliding collar to take their place, but not an easy process/build.
For the record, I just suggested the Import Flight Stick as a base for an Ikari Warriors style rotary switch/handle on top.

Thanks Scott, it's a very good option, obviously there are a lot of options to consider in the pursuit of the everything stick, I think it's pretty close to cold fusion and the god particle

PBJ, Those sugar skulls are teh kewl. I need to do some reading on casting in layers without a seam. That's the problem I've run into doing suspensions in spheres is that you can always see either a filled nail hole or the seam from a pour done in stages. Supposedly there's some goop that will set enough to remove supports but still blend the seams on this type of a pour. What size are you looking for? 3"?

Do you wait for a 50% set before putting in your embedded object or do you wait for 100% set before adding and putting in your next layer? It's my understanding that a 50% set is the right way to do this
