  • Yeah, except when you move it around and look at the bottom. LOL
  • Stare in to the light!!!!! stare into the light!!!!

  • Except when you tild your hand enough that it can't tell what's going on and doesn't move... that's annoying.

    -Q
  • owww! my eyes... I don't like lookin in my optical mouses light. Aww crap, its blue light just broke! now it doesnt glow when my computer is on.
  • dont look then :P

    woa i forgot how useful a wheel was LOL
  • i want a new optical mouse with a blue light instead of a red one (to tell me its on) blue lights look better in my confined room (expect for midnight BSODS i got when i was little and had a 286 w/3.0
  • turn the screen off, computers make enough noise as it is, the last thing i want is a load of LEDs everywhere

    i didnt when i was little LOL and left a scrensaver on. it caused me to be afraid of BSODS for a while after that LMAO!!!
    the red light on my mouse is more visible than a blue led light and i get yelled at for leaving the computer on. (i still do anyway, i just throw the mouse in a desk drawer.
    i only want a blue led for my mouse, i dont need leds everywhere, the light from my stereo (blue led clock light that is bright as fuck) provides a load of light anyways.
  • ive got 1 from the tv 2 from my server, 2 from my desktop, the screen on my stereo, loads from the router, a load from my clock, and one from the extension lead..
  • my desk has some hole where the computer goes and it blocks out all the light from the leds on my computer. and my 486 stays on, and the light from the surge protector makes some light
    /me says WTF i need to rephrase that
    2 from my desktop which are blocked from my desk
    1 from my mouse
    1 ULTRA BRIGHT one from my stereo
    1 from my notebook plugged in to charge
    2 from my p100
    2 from my useless server
    2 from a old surge protector that my 486 is connected to
    12 from my ethernet switch
    2 from my 486
    dang thats a load of light... but it doesnt light up the room, so thats good.
    *the p100, and the useless server are always off most of the time, and the switch produses the light because of the computers plugged in.
  • The user and all related content has been deleted.
  • yes i can say welcome to 1998. only thing is... i didnt have a computer in 1998 so er.... :P
  • My lights are the server, the 2 routers, the cable modem, the BRIGHT (Fish knows about this one) Kensigton laptop charger that is gonna start a fire someday, and the Imac and it's (optical) mouse.

    -Q
  • I got:

    Macintosh Power LED, PC LED Fan, Optical Mouse, Speaker LED, Cable Modem, Router, LCD Projector Power LED, Cell Phone Charger LED, and power bar LEDs.

    Mind you, I leave my door open when I sleep and the 60W hall light keeps my room so lit I don't notice the LEDs, or if I fall asleep accidenty, my 100W ceiling fixture is on.

    Forgot, 2 of them, 1 before the monitor LED with I ALSO forgot before the cable modem, and 1 before the iMac.

    -Q
  • My living room looks like an alien spaceship LOL

    I got: 3 LED fans, printer power light, printer status light, monitor, surround sound system, TV, VCR, stero, and other things.

    and yes, my computers are in a livingroom.

    It looks cool when I wake up at 430 to 500 when it is dark outside and you see blue, green, and red lights illuminating the walls...
    that is when i sleep in the living room...
  • I have Defender CP1251T. It ownz
  • Mouse, kbd num lock, printer, speaker. That's it for LEDs on my PC. On my cable box is a small dot when it's turned off. That's it.
  • Congratulations BOD. I'm using my first one now and have just
    been using it a few days and it works fine except when I had
    System Commander on and it would come up at boot to let me
    choose the OS and the mouse wouldn't move. It usually loaded
    up with the mouse on the second partition though and I could
    boot to it by pressing enter. I probably isn't working with dos.

    Thump
  • is it a USB mouse Thump?
  • You could rig DOS to use the USB drivers, or get a PS\2 converter.
  • Probably came with a PS/2 converter that can be used with it.
  • CuteMouse works with USB mice....sort of...it has big tracking problems with mine.

    Ive had it as long as I can remember.
  • I've never had one, and I think that's the majority, unless I'm miles off...

    -Q
  • ...

    Your mac has one. When I find another one I'll give you one.

    No BOD, it plugs in where all my other mice do. It's a GE brand
    and my wife got it for me at Walmart for under USD$10. So far it's working fine and I won't have to clean the mouse ball all the time.
    I think anybody would like them.

    Thump
  • LoL,
    I Stole My Optical Mouse From The School Emacs :P
    I Used to Use it a For Drawing in Paint on the PC,
    But It's On my Imac Now :woot:
