Is it a mouse? Is it a flashlight? No, it is a mouse-f-light (maus-ff-lite)!

Have you ever find yourselves in a dozen of broken-down computer mice and have no idea to do with them? Well, you know what to do now!
This mouseflight can be made in 10 minutes, though I have planned to do this for 10 days and haven't got time for it.
The idea is to create a simple flashlight that can be convenient and eye-catching at the same time. The switch it the left mouse button (optional) and it can use two different power sources: Lithium cell and USB port (in case the lithium cell ran out and you don't have time to buy a new one (it happened to me all the time)
Also, this is an entry to the flashlight contest

Step 1 Gathering materials

The parts are really simple so to make this project you just need under $1 (without the computer mouse)
A broken computer mouse
A 3.0 V Lithium cell battery
A 1/4 Watt 100 Ohms resistor
A White LED (other color is good)
USB wire (you can get it out of the mouse)
A small SPDT switch

It's a good design for a project that build from waste material. Nice idea and unique appearance, though.
