Default Simple mouse mod *pics*
I decided to waste some time today, and do a pointless, very common, mouse mod. My original plan was to paint, add LEDs, and add a fan. I was unable to find a fan in my house that would fit inside of the mouse.

Pics:

Default


Opened up


Various parts


Small drill-bit


Drilling


Two red diodes, getting ready to solder


Soldering tools


More soldering items


Positive leads soldered, you have to keep the polarity in mind


Soldering green negative leads


Another picture of red postive leads


Copper pipe, soldering iron in action - Army surplus soldering iron that is


Leads soldered in parallel


Testing LEDs


Tape wired down for insulation and placement


Soldering red positive lead


More tape for insulation, to prevent shorting


Too bad I couldn't put that fan anywhere


Reinstalling


Reinstalling2


Top back on, ready to paint soon


Testing with it all together


First coat of red


Black coat added later


Finished 1


Finished 2


Came out OK, but I rushed the paint job. The mouse works, but am I ever going to use it?



Thanks for looking

Thanks

It doesn't smell unless you go up and sniff it. Also it is pretty dry now but I still prefer my unmodded MX518
