Just received some anodized aluminum bat tops from Paradise Arcade! These worked out great on my long shaft zippyys! Look great too! I also printed my own button inserts using Avery full sheet "clear" label paper. The paper isn't really clear, more of a frosted look. Very tacky, once placed on the Diffusers and lit, one really can't tell its frosted. Used on red,green,yellow and white Diffusers. I think for my first try it turned out great!

Ok , after some play time, I really like the bat tops over my ball tops! Only issue I have is that they are significantly heavy, and using the quieter zippyy switches, it doesn't spring back to center as good. I tried the original switches for the zippyy joy and it was a marked improvement but the clickiness drove me nuts! Are there any heavier action levered micro switches? I searched most of the vendors but could only find unlevered switches that had 50mg or higher activation. Any recommendations? Thanks!

Where did you get your diffusers at?

They come with the buttons -- 2nd item from right in this exploded view.
The diffuser rests in a depression on the top of the hollow plunger and is held down by the translucent cap at the far right.
