There's only one person who can do this...RandyT

Illuminated RGB ball-top joystick replacement handles. ;D Randy – you've already got cool colored ball-tops for the various joysticks (including the 49-way). You’ve already got cool RGB illuminated buttons and trackball products. It seems like the next step should be illuminated joystick handles! Any chance this will happen?

Hear Hear! I'm about to order some RGB Buttons from Randy, and wouldn't mind having a an RGB ball-top joystick to go along with it.

And have it work with the U360 and reunion sticks

There's always a chance :)
I actually have balls on my shelf slated for this project. They are just waiting for me to do something with them.
There are a number of challenges to the implementation of the ball to the shaft however (eghh! this is starting to sound dirty...so please try to refrain yourselves ;D )
Some shafts have very small diameters that don't allow for holes to go through the center unless they are very small. Then there is the issue of either a slip connection somewhere or a limiter to prevent stick rotation from winding up the wires until they snap. 2 wires are one thing, 4 is another.
All that being said, the Retro edition of the OMNI-Stik Prodigy currently has a hollow shaft that would work for this and I have been contemplating just offering the RGB ball-tops for folks to do with them what they will. Any interest in this?

Yes, I would be interested. Also, technical jargon can sometimes be hilarious. :laugh2:
