probably not worth it.


also, take into consideration that blue lights are brighter than red..

which is why most lights on things that would appear 'lit' during the night are red.

i dont think you should try it unless you have a optical mouse to spare.

Why are they red?

The reason for this is because the red light increases the contrast of the surface it is lighting up. The tiny camera used to take pictures in the mouse is able to see changes in the surface better, offering excellent responsiveness.

Changing and responsiveness

You can change the LED's to any color of your choice considering you follow some simple steps. Manufacturers also use the red LED's because of their high brightness (MCD). These days you can find LED's of the same intensity in other colors. With this said, I would highly recommend that you use the highest intensity LED's you can find. In our guide, we will be using super high intensity Blue LED's rated at 5500MCD.

Let's get right to it shall we?

But first...the disclaimers!

Warning: Changing your optical mouse LED's can damage or dramatically degrade it's performance and/or responsiveness. Attempt this at your own risk. I will not be held responsible for damages that may occur.

In this guide, we will be using one of the best optical mice out there. The Logitech Dual Optical mouse. That's right, we will be changing two LED's in this guide instead of just one which is normally what most optical mice have.
