LED is nice, but bet it wears down the battery life of the controller.

LEDs arent that power hungry; I doubt it'll have a significant impact on battery life.

The controllers aren't power hungry on their own either. Adding in anything could reduce it from 8 hours of use to 7 or 6 hours, including the fact that the controller is now at least doubling the idle energy use.

Not significant, but it's still something to think about versus going with something more akin to jriquelme's implementation above.

Those LEDs look cool but I enjoy the comfort of the convex sticks. Playing my xbox 360 for extended periods of time make a small spot on my left thumb sore. Just my preference but I do like the lightup sticks.
