microsoft optical mouse is too bright!

[stringcheeseincident]

i have a microsoft optical mouse with an insanely bright red light. is there any way to dim this thing when im away from my computer, i.e.: sleeping?

Get a piece of clothing that is laying around and cover it up. Or anything else that is laying around.

Or... you could stick it under your pillow and the microsoft fairy will come and steal the money off your dresser.
:rolleyes:

Even better yet solder an on/off switch, I'm planning to do that to my wireless mouse to help conserve battery life.

If it's USB and plugs into the front of your PC, just unplug it.

Only if you have them connected to an outlet-powered hub..... ;)

Is there maybe some type of resistor mod you could solder inline with the led?

Go ghetto. Hit it with a black marker.
