• I got some of these illuminated rotary encoders:

  They look great, but I couldn't find any transparent knobs to go with them, neither at Mouser nor at Digi-Key. Does anyone know of a source?
  
  Thanks for any hints.

• Those look like they would be compatible with the knobs that Sparkfun has.
  
  Otherwise, you can try making your own by using some cut solid acrylic tubing.

• I got some of those as well.
  
  Haven't quite figured out why I bought them or what I'm going to do with them. But they looked pretty on the website

  I used them with this Bourns rotary encoder:
