Mouse Mod

I was tired of the red light in my Logitech optical mouse, so I changed it. It always bugged me that everything else on my work desk (laptop, cellphone/pda, external hd, etc) were BLUE, but the mouse was RED. Now my whole desk matches (and I get more geek points).

I swapped the standard 5mm red led with a high-brightness (6000 mcd) blue one. Not only does it look cooler, but it seems to work better on a variety of surfaces.

While I had the mouse apart, I also removed the annoying 'clicker' on the scroll wheel. Now it scrolls much more smoothly and quietly.

Photos of the mod are in the hobbies gallery.
