A Sea of Bondi Blue. Massed on benches, a group of newborn iMacs undergoes testing at Apple’s Elk Grove factory. Assuming Identity. Although each resembles its neighbors, every iMac is an individual, destined to make its own mark on the world. Rolling, Rolling, Rolling. Sealed boxes, each with a lightning-fast Internet-ready iMac, begin their journey from the factory to a waiting world. The Big Push. The scissor arms of a forklift extend to maneuver a load of iMac boxes into place. In the background, iMacs as far as the eye can see. It’s a Skyhook. A worker uses an aerial hoist to guide an iMac into its protective shipping wrapper.

How to light up your iMac mouse!

To open the mouse first remove the ball and cover. Then using a small screwdriver pry up the blue plastic trim. Remove both trim pieces and this will reveal two small philips head screws (remove). Now the top and bottom halves can be separated by pulling them apart. This takes a bit of work the first time. Now that you are inside the mouse, solder on a LED to the main board as shown. The voltage here is 5 volts. Radio Shack sells a Blue LED that is designed to run at 5 volts (part # 276-311) This is ideal because no dropping resistor is needed. When connecting the LED, connect the negative side to the pin #4 (right side) and the Positive side to pin #1 (left side).

Reassemble mouse and plug into computer, you now have a lighted mouse!

You may use or copy any part of this page. I hate copyrights.

Here is a picture from Kevin. He mounted his light a little defferently so I have included a note from him. "I felt the intensity of the LED pointing upward was too concentrated, so I popped the mouse open again and drilled a small hole into the plastic housing where the ball resides... that way I could point the LED straight into the ball chamber. I get more of a diffused lighting effect and you can even see the ball rolling around."
