    Bl000 Mouse

    Seems the Blue LED is taking the PC mod world by storm...

    Heh, So I know the light it not blue, but at least my mouse now is...





    My Explorer was looking kinda groudy so I decided to paint it. I painted it with 3 coats silver, 5 coats candy blue and 3 coats clear. I then rubbed out the paint with Detail Masters polishing films 3200/3600/4200/6000/8000/12000 grit, and water. It is glass smooth, and very nice to use. I waxed it with Zymol Auto wax, now hand tactility is slick and cool. 8)

    I soldered in a blue LED, however it was a 5V / 20mA /1000mcd LED that was severly under powered by the 1.7V the mouse puts to this LED. The light was not intense enough to match the original red LED.

    I then soldered in a 1.7V / 20mA /620mcd Green LED. This had the intensity, however through the red plastic base, it looked like a washed Orange color.

    I will need to find a blue LED that will be closer to the specifications of the stock LED.

    Note: The Stock red LED at the back, has a very wide angle of dispersion. Any LED used to replace this should be at least a wide angle or very bright.

      Looks great Bing! Just what the world needs, another high performance tricked out, wind tunnel designed, shaved, trimmed Techo-mouse with 5 speed, and rear spoiler. haha

          Sure, it's just a mouse, but it was my mouse and it needed painting :evil:

                  Well Andrew, I have been experimenting with how to incorporate this 5" TFT LCD with VGA input. However I need a GF4 or a PCI Video card as well.

                      Rotel RA-1520 Blue Leds?
                      by Herky
                      Hello, I was just wondering if anyone else's blue led on the volume knob of the RA-1520 is a different shade (lighter blue) than the blue led around the power button and input selector (darker blue). Thanks.

                      RC1090 volume dial blue LED not working
                      by vifferboy
                      Hello

                      I just picked up a RC1090 from Audiogon, the unit is in excellent condition and sounds very nice. I had an RC1070 before which always seemed a bit bright to me, the RC1090 is very smooth.

                      Anyway the one small downer on the deal is that the seller failed to mention...

                      Volume Ring LED
                      by Rock Dog
                      I picked up my RSP-1066s today. (I have to wait for my 1095s )

                      I read the manual and plugged it in when I got home. The first thing I noticed was that the LED ring around the volume control was not lit. I know the black unit is supposed to have red, and the silver, blue. Am I missing...
