    Added two super-BL00 LED's from 1337haxor's sale, replaced rear 3mm red led with a 5mm uv led.

    I purchased this mouse as an open-box item from office-depot for $10 US -- it's a kensington usb Mouse-in-a-Box Pro.

    sorry about the pics, it looks alot better then they show.

    let me know what you think...

    Are you sure the UV one isn't dangerous? Your going to be firing UV rays into your wrist, and they are going to be quite concentrated!!

    I'm pretty sure that the plastic will filter out most of the harmful stuff :hehe:

    Very nice.

    About the mouse: were the sidebuttons originally clear, or did you mod them too? My mouse is the exact same design, but it has a Typhoon logo on it and the sidebuttons are normal plastic :waah:

    I don't think UV led really emits UV rays...
    They must be similar to wood lamps(black light)...onestly i don't think they'd sell harmful stuff... at least without saying u: It' dangerous!! :nono:

    Anyway good wook, nice and tidy :clap:

    everyone says this. In the 70's they recalled a bunch of the first blacklights and set regulations for all this uv stuff. There is absolutley nothing harmful in those leds.

    the side buttons are made of a blue tint transparent plastic.
    it came like that.

    the UV leds are not as bright as the bl00 ones

    I got my uv leds from L337 and they are very bright, the uv leds will never be as bright as say a bloo led at 5000mcd or anything but they are still rather blinding.

    I especially like the bloo light in its bum... and no I'm not a pervert!

    You can use UV leds to erase EPROMS so they must emit a fair amount of UV light...

    uvs probably don't appear as bright because they are emitting mostly ultraviolet light (i.e. humans can't see it). perhaps you can modify a web cam or something to pick up uv light as some visible shade, so you can see more of what's actually being emitted. I saw it done with and infrared LED in a mouse mod that popped up recently, I'm sure the same would work for UV.
