Bubbles or without.  If you want them without, I think GGG might be the only current source for these.

Can your balltops be fitted to Sanwa sticks?

Based on this quote from the OP;

I took it to mean that his options for joysticks in general were still open.

But yes, if I knew the thread pitch and diameter of the shaft, I could easily offer replacement balls for any stick as long as my hardware vendor has inserts available in that size.

If they use 6mm x 1 threads, I can offer replacement translucent balls.

Interesting.

From what I've read, I understand that all the Japanese joysticks use an M6 thread.

Incidentally, do your balltops have a metal insert, or does the shaft screw into plastic?

Metal. 

I would have to gauge interest for providing just the tops.  I can't do them "cheap" because I don't have the quantity buying power of Sanwa :)

Oh, geez, I can't believe I forgot these.  I was just thinking Sanwa, I guess.  I've got a red and blue one of the GGG tops sitting right here next to me, and they are very, very nice.
