LED Mouse Light

[abbtech]

Most of us have a bunch of these old mice laying around collecting dust. If you didn’t make some cool art with your mice last week here is another idea to recycle it into a cool project. This article will show you how to turn an ordinary mouse into a flashlight, perfect for looking into computer cases that always seem to be in the darkest corner of the room.

why use a battery it would be easier to use the power supplied to the mouse, you could easiy power a group of LEDs then you would have a cool mouse too

Good point, Scotty. PS2 and USB provide a 5vlts power line.
