You got it. Regular shrink tube that you can get from any electronics store.
Looks really nice, though.

Thanks patch. Im not sure where the fixation came from but I went on a week spree of making headphone cables. Back to mixing...
45 Record mod, scratch feels amazing, so much more control over your tracks, and it looks so much better!
So after playing for a while with my NI setup, I realized the controls needed to be a little more visible for me in low light conditions. My first idea was Chroma Caps (of course), but I didn't really want to shell out $75 bucks to get this look. So I did it the old fashioned way. Here's what I used:
Rustoleum Gloss Enamel Blue
Rustoleum Gloss Enamel Yellow
Krylon Matte Finish Clear Coat
A black Sharpie permanent marker
A White paint pen (purchased from Michael's craft store)
Two styrofoam blocks (Michael's)
Three 1/8"x 1/8" square balsa wood dowels cut into 2" lengths (Michael's)
A handful of toothpicks (for the faders)
In all, I spent about $30 and a total of about 3 hours of work and 24 hours of drying time to make this happen. (Sorry Ean, even now-If I had the cash-I would still buy some Chroma Caps for this)

Are you worried about the paint coming off with lots of use?

I was at first. I was going to use a glossy finish clear coat over the paint because I thought it would make the final coat slippery, but just before I sprayed it I realized that a glossy coat would actually be sticky. Instead, I sprayed the knobs with a matte finish clear coat, and it made them just the right feel. If the buttons begin to wear down, a touch up of the clear coat will prevent any paint from coming off.
