Some site should have a shop that customizes the appearance of joysticks.
Would definitely be interested in buying one if it were to happen.[/QUOTE]
I take it you haven't visited the Shoryuken forums, have you? It'll cost you, but you can pretty much customize these TE sticks however you want them.
I got a TE stick from Amazon when they were $120, and used the 50% off coupon from one of their trade-in promos, so I got it for $60. Worth every penny, and I'm not even a "hardcore" fighter fan. I love SFIV, and the stick makes the game so much easier to play. It really feels like an arcade machine in your lap. Pretty awesome, but I'd suggest waiting for a deal around $100 or so for the SFIV version, which can happen.
