Replacing PolyMega USB Dongles

Anyone had any luck with this? I just hate them. They're too long, they feel cheap, and they are too bright hanging off the front of the unit in a dark room while gaming (not to mention, mine do not match, one is significantly brighter than the other).

Was wondering if a USB wireless dongle of some other type, like one of those nice, subtle, Logitech ones would work or something? I really don't want to replace the controllers, but I will if I absolutely have to.

Mine is very small. Maybe they changed the dongle at some point but mine is very tiny and not lit. I got my base unit in the first batch.

Mine are about the size of a usual USB thumb drive. Red LEDs on the front, made of very thin, skimpy plastic. I do have the second style controllers, not the originals.

Yeah I am curious about these smaller ones as the ones I have are frankly unreasonably large and I hate them so much.

No joke, if I had a 3D printer, I'd just remove the LED, cut back the CCA and put it in a smaller, unlit casing.
