    hello all,

    i'm new here, just found this site. love the laptop modding part :D

    just curious does anyone ever mod a mouse?
    coz i want to mod my mouse.
    i have a logitech cordless mouse m-rn67 and a logitech optical mouse m-bj58(or m-bj69 i'm not sure. but it resembles with m-sbf96)

    so here's what i have in mind.
    i want to mod my cordless mouse which have a ball to a cordless optical mouse by switching the insides (naturally this involves some soldering, which idon't understand :( )
    i want to ask you guys and girls, do you have any info on doing this?

    thanks.
    NB: sorry for the bad english.

    I really don't think this is going to happen as I really don't know if anyone here has the expertise about such a subject.

    If I were you I would just look around Logitech's range of mice and purchase the optical cordless equivalent.

    time and effort needed, even the cost, would be better to buy a simple cordless optical.

    prices are so cheap these days... of course, you can go for the expensive ones... but then again, if your fingers are twitching to do a mod, by all means, go for it... but just to get an optical cordless, newegg or best buy is your friend.
