Nerd Alert: Mouse mod!
 

This is a little mod I did on my mouse -_-
I know, geeky as fuck but I was bored on a Sunday, soo....

My mouse is one of the older microsoft Intellimouse Explorer Opticals, with just 2 buttons (gasp) and a scroll wheel.
I used a dremel and the plastic from a CD-R spindle for the little window, and soldered in a blue LED. You know when you move these mice and they glow brighter? I exploited that, so when the mouse is sitting it is purple, but when you move it, it glows a vicious red :)

hihii...that's kinda neat :)

Haha, awesome. I like how it changes colors.

I once saw someone who modded his mouse with a little 40mm fan to keep his palm cool... That was just crazy :lol:

that's cool as hell, you could market that or something

They make mouses like that (have for a while now). I wonder if he ripped them off or if they ripped him off :)

thats awesome....wouldn;t mind buying one...too lazy to do it myself

hah. thats AWESOME!!! Reminds me of another mod i saw, the cyrogenic lego one. There was a little Lego Han Solo, and a blue light inside the mouse.

You modz0red joor mouse-z0r !

It could use a "Type R" decal ;)

You should put a little lego guy in there like another mouse mod a saw. :lol:

i like it.
great idea.

:lol:

Way ahead of you. And I'm going to paint it yellow, and put Sparco seats in it.

Thats a cool mod, nice work )

it's amazing what a little time on your hands and an itching to do something can create

Perhaps you could integrate water cooling where the palm rests on the mouse to prevent the sweaty palms.

Add a skirt around it, cram a high flow fan in the bottom, and it could become a hovercraft. Sure it won't touch the mouse pad and it'll cease to function as a mouse, but think of how many nerds will become jealous.

As Austin Powers would say, "Nerd Alert." In all seriousness though, thats pretty cool. The light would drive me nuts when im in bed though.
