Custom Japanese joystick balls and buttons?

I've seen a fine selection at MAK Japan, are there any websites that sell these or a member in Akihabara that wouldn't mind picking some up?

Well, you can just ask at the Trading section here. Many of us got some left over from previous projects and are willing to sell.

What are you looking for? For instance I got some Sanwa JLF and a few Hori/Sanwa buttons, etc.

There has been great feedback regarding this store since its recent launch. The owner is a member here and very helpful in regards to arcade parts and custom building.

You could also inquire when/if member oxtsu begins another Seimitsu Group Order. Oxtsu is a great resource as well.

http://www.akihabarashop.com/ is great. I got a new set of clear ball tops from there a few weks ago and will almost certainly be buying a load of new sticks and buttons sometime soon.

To say that site is awesome does the person that runs it a huge disservice. I don't know which forumite is responsible, but, whoever you are, thanks -- you can look forward to an order from me in the near future

Wow, this site has exactly what I was looking for. Custom colored ball tops and buttons. Awesome!

You are Mr. Ty who emailed me about the strawberryballs?

Hi! Yep, that's me. I didn't realize that you were in Sweden, sorry about the odd request.

Edit: here's a really bad mock-up of what the balltops looked like:
