interference? nah, LEDs are simple diodes that make light. Theyre just drawing power off the USB bus, i doubt they hurt the data transmittion

I was thinking the same thing. I have a Timex that is just begging for the chance to become a part of my iMac.

Actually, "indiglo" (chemical backlighting) might cause interferance because of its high frequency switching...

Why not try plutonium? That stuff is pretty bright, it'll give your mouse a nice green glow...

The only reason I switched to a Swann mini mouse was that the puck mouse had only one button, otherwise the whole concept of it being finger driven, rather than hand driven makes i…

Zounds! do u have a url to some of that stuff?

Thanks a lot guys !!! I tried your suggestions and look what happend

I hate it when that happens Fletch

I put a blue led light in my mouse about 5 months ago and I haven't had any problems till now.... I have a orginal Bondi (thus the blue led) and the light that I have installed is…

Yeah, I have an idea. DON'T buy ANYTHING from Radio Shack! Thier quality control isn't all that great. What you think might be a real low voltage led might just be bright enough to…

Yeah, Radio Shack definitely sucks. I ordered a simple part (a radio wire) from them and they had to order it from Radio Shack Headquarters. When it came in the mail, it was the wr…

Sine, RE my earlier post about LEDS causing interference on the USB bus. Regular LEDS should cause little or no problem. But I wasn't talking about regular ones, I was talking abou…

Hey blizaine, Good one! You made me crap my pants!

Hey guys, I just finished watching a episode of "Michael Holigan's - Your New House." In this episode they showed how you could use fiber optics to light the perimeter of your poo…

Hey Smiz, i think your problem is you bought a low voltage LED. Basically a 1.5V LED. The usb power is 5V! this would explain why it was Very bright, then now intermittant. Next t…

I just solved a wierd 'bug' with my Swann USB mini mouse. Since yesterday, my mouse stopped moving up and down at around the same time of day. I'd installed the multimedia updater…

That is weird. Why don't you try some blinking lights or move near a traffic light.

I'm going to use a blue permanent marker on the inside of the case, around the area of the opto pickups. Hopefully, that should cure it for the 3 or 4 days a year we have bright su…

I've got a plan drawn up at this stage for a Rack/MT/Desktop case for a G4 sporting a 4 tray hot-swappable SCSI or Firewire RAID setup. Right now, I'm tring to see if there is any…

You may have a bit of demand for this as Pinnacle has announced a High Definition Non-Linear Editor for Macintosh only (www.pinnaclesys.com.) However, we are talking about extreme…

The topic says it all. ------------------ People aren't as dumb as you think. Wait, what was I thinking, 90% of the world uses WINDOWS! You don't like Macs? Good, more for me.

Radio Shack.

Once you pull the original, yellow, jumper block off the pins, you can use the individual SCSI ID jumpers for internal hard drives to change the settings. They work fine in my B&am…

Just use a bunch of ordinary jumpers.

I just re-arranged the jumpers within the jumper block itself on my Beige 266 (now a 300), I don't know if its the same on the B/W.
