translucent and illuminated ball tops

Can't say that I really ever noticed. I tended to hook my paw or palm it depending on how slick the stick was. :P

Thanks NIVO for the suggestion. I can't guess at the durability of the twist free jack....but it is a great solution to get 4 conductors thru the base of a handle (if all 4 are supported...might be only 2 conductors). A problem might be integrating the jack due to it's odd shape. Still....I wouldn't mind seeing one of these jacks with my own eyes.
About the U360....you can pretty much forget about it as far as development in this thread. I don't mean to sound harsh and I apologize if this upsets some. This time around for my uses...the Sanwa JLF was to be my interest. But what applies here can apply to other bases. The U360 really is another story due to the unconventional design. Sorry.
Cornchip.
Kaytrim:
I don't know how many of the JLF lighted tops you were thinking of making but there could be a real calling for them over at http://forums.shoryuken.com/index.php. They use the JLF quite a bit for custom sticks. I know that I am interested in at least one for myself if not for the custom sticks that I plan on building for others. These would be single colors anyway no need for the RGB LEDs in these. The voltage is 3.3v IIRC off the pads that get hacked.

NIVO:
again didnt mean to fudge that post above kaytrim. I should've clarified my position further as I didnt mean this as a solution to the U360, i know full well the stick and its hinderance to modify. I was posting alternate info to use as a solution to other sticks. It does indeed work, but you'll need space beneath as this makes it a "tall order" to implement.

Cornchip, I can't vouch for everyone else. For me, it has more to do with increasing the available options. It's not necessarily about specifically having a U360 light up.
