MouseMod Project

Surfing on http://metku.net I found one interesting tutorial how to mode one old mouse installing a LED on it. I had this old mouse hanging around so I decided to try it myself. So this is my mouse mod project. One of my first projects. I did it some years ago. :)

Step 1: First Step

First opening the mouse, I could see one logic circuit, so you can try the pins until you find one that gives +5volts and ground.
Then I used a resistor to lower the voltage for the led. Not strong LED yet.
You can see a pictures of the soldered LED.

I also made some holes on the upper part of the mouse, so you could see the led.

Step 2: Part II

After some time, I decided to paint my mouse black, would looks much better, and change the led to something stronger, a yellow power led, worked wonderfully. So this is result:

Thanks for readying this quick instructables.
