Optical mouse hacking :)

Feb 19, 2004 2 Replies

Hi group,



I tried an aqua LED on that cheap Logitech optical rodent, and it worked fine :)



Anyone else tried this?



(also there is an annoying fault on these where the right hand button goes flaky, this is fixable by adding a small washer underneath the right hand PCB support).



For my next trick.. Colour changing or UV LED. :)

No but it seems a reasonable enough thing to try... If this is an "any surface" mouse then the circuit inside probably has a lot of AGC built into it - so if you fit a brighter/weaker LED the AGC will probably adjust itself to accommodate the difference ok. Let us know if a UV LED works - it might not be compatible with the receiver.

OK will do :)
