    Hi PJPenis, my Logitech Mediaplay mouse has an optical sensor that uses infrared radiation, so there is no visible light emission.

    The humor is that this isn't the first time he's made that type. Running jokes are fun.

    I've never seen a blue optical mouse.

    copper something or razr (search for those) is releasing a laser blue one that has crazy resolution for about 80US
    if u want it cheap, just take ur optical mouse apart and solder a blue led on

    Has this actually been done? What's the gaurantee that the sensor will be receptive to blue light rather than red?

    Err you also said it didn't work?

    Consider the Logitech Mediaplay. Though the optical sensor emits no light, it does have backlit blue buttons on it to match the rest of your system.

    Here's a DIY procedure.

    Edit: Never mind... this doesn't actually replace the red LED with blue.

    replacing the led is like a changing ur headlite bulbs
    it's one of the easiest mod you can do to your comp
    the only thing u ahve to b careful of is soldering the led -ve and +ve terminal
    blue is actually more accurate or responsive than red because of it's wavelength or something
    a similar DIY:

    anyways, it's been done and it's relatively safe, or just get the copperhead mouse i mentioned:
