I suppose the most ideal answer would be a spacer made of some transparent material.  Plastic tubing?

I think something like these would get you there without causing a shadowing issue.  They could even be stacked, if one found it necessary to do so.

How good do these things work on joysticks?  I don't mind the clicking of the microswitches when buttons are pressed, but on the joysticks it may get to me after a while.  Do this things stand up to the test of time on joysticks, and do they also fit standards Happ Competition Joysticks and Ms. Pac-Man style four-ways?

They are specifically designed to interact with one of the actuating / plunger retaining prongs on a pushbutton.  A drastically different design would be required to adapt them to a joystick.

Thanks.  Saved me about $30 there.   ;D

Are you still contemplating doing a stick design for them?
