Hi Paul,

No need to get anything custom made, with thousands of knobs waiting 
to be bought.
Maybe you should take a moment to venture into the wonderful world of 
Google. ;-)

If you want to go "arcade style", check out some auto parts shops for 
shift knobs. Some of them are absolutely fabulous.

Just check out this link for some samples: (watch the wrap)

Want to go really psychedelic? Check these:

This turned up on "plastic knob spherical":

And these come up on top when searching for "joystick knobs"

All of the above took me ten minutes, so there must be plenty more.
