no one at all? Even a translucent top would look good.
These are translucent - but not illuminated. http://groovygamegear.com/webstore/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=65&products_id=262 (http://groovygamegear.com/webstore/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=65&products_id=262)
Search the forum - there are a number of threads discussing illuminated joysticks. I believe a few members were/are selling hollow joystick shafts.

Thanks for the link arzoo. I searched the forums before I asked but I'm new here and probably missed something (I'll do some searching for hollow shafts). So I might be having to piece something together if I want to illuminate a translucent ball top. I was just wondering if anyone else was making something similar to slick stik.
Luigi - replied to your PM
Thanks again

Thanks Ginsu. Another place to look.
I guess I should have mentioned that I'm currently in the planning stage for my CP but have the basic idea. So I don't actually have to match the shafts to a specific joystick yet and my options are still wide open. Although I am leaning towards a set of u360's and a dedicated 4way.
Once I know what's available and my options for illuminating the joysticks I'll be able to start purchasing the parts. Figured it would save me a lot of hassles this way instead of trying to get the joysticks lit up later. Something close but not exact to the image below in a 2 player version.
Thanks again for all the information

Hi.
As I said in my PM, the U360 is something special.
Look here http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=82292.0

It seems he has a solution für U360 :)
Franco is making a solution for U360s (or at least he's working on it)

Ask this guy. He apparently knows where to get them. (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=84116.0) It's a little bit horrifying, though. Are you sure this is what you want?

Randy T, how much USD$ per stick, and what sticks do they fit?

Just got a reply from Mameroom about the SlikSticks they are still making, as shown here:
We are currently selling (for a limited time), competition/super joystick shafts with an illuminated balltop handle. We currently sell these for $40 each.
