You could try sanding the LED's to give them a "frosted" finish - that might disperse the light a little better.

I bet a thin coat of white translucent nail polish would soften the glow (or mix white & clear).

The more the coats the less direct the light.

Yeah thats the ticket

I could spray a thin coat of a milky white mixed with clear on the entire interior of the joystick too.

Wait....wait....wtf is this: http://cgi.ebay.com/Femme-Ultra-Violet-UV-Glow-Neon-Nail-Polish-/390261090062?pt=UK_Health_Beauty_Nails_Manicure_Pedicure_CA&hash=item5add5fa70e#ht_1103wt_905

holy ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---

I wonder if I mixed this UV clear with white & painted the LED's if that would diffuse & dilute the light to a glow rather than a beam?

Too bad I do not have an airbrush to paint the interior of the stick (ahem hint hint to anyone who doe$)

jennifer:

        I would think painting the inside of the handle with anything would give it a odd untronlike [< ? ] look. Maybe more of a diffuser setup
 [ like a juke ] ?

drventure:
Very cool idea!
