've seen this mod done by many people and decided I would try it myself. I was surprised by how easy it was . There is very little experience required, and the overall costs are very low. £1 max for one blue led
The first step is to take apart your mouse. This can be one of the easiest steps, or one of the hardest. Manufactures don't usually care how easily a mouse can be reopened after purchase which can make this a pain with some mice. Look under those mice feet. There are usually screws under there. Make sure all of the screws are off before trying to force the top off. Screws can also be hidden under stickers.
Once you take the top of your mouse off, take a look inside. You will probably see something that somewhat resembles the innards of the mouse I modded. Look for where your mouse's IR LED is. This LED is the one that shines out of the bottom of your mouse. you will see where the LED is connected to the circuit board. For this mod, the only wires you need to worry about are those two. All of the others don't matter at all for this mod, so you simply can ignore them.
Take the clear piece of plastic that holds the IR LED in place and then cut the IR LED off. Keep about a third of the LED legs in tact. This will make the soldering process a bit easier
Plug your mouse back in and with your new LED, make contact with the old LED legs. Your new LED should light up. After testing the LED, unplug your mouse and remember how your LED was set up when it lit up
Solder the LED in place. Click Here to read a guide on how to solder. Once your LED is soldered securely to the wires, simply put everything back together. Your done!
