    this may seem kinda weird, but I have a Logitech Mini Optical Mouse and it's this really generic silver color and I wanna change it to sort of stand out. My question is: what method would be the best option for changing the color of my mouse? I might do somethin crazy like yellow :)

    heh sorry I didn't really pose my question that well. I'm looking more for the best method (paint, skin, etc). Pretty much new to this whole thing so I don't really know what's going on

    In your case, paint makes the most sense to me.

    A mouse is something that you are constantly going to touch, and I'm worried if that would make the skin more likely to fall off. I mean, people put skins on their laptop lids, but it's not like they're constantly touching the lid. :p

    I use car paint in spray cans. Best quality you can get.
    Post some pics when you've done it :)
