I see there is a little mounting hole in the plastic below the ball. --- End quote --- I ordered the trackball lighting kit from SlikStik (http://www.slikstik.com/detail.aspx?ID=34), which is fantastically overpriced, but easier to install than rigging up something custom. It attaches to the trackball with a screw, and plugs into the 5V pins on the iPac. It came with a very bright blue LED, but I removed it and soldered in a red LED from superbrightleds.com (Part #RL5-R8030). It is very, very bright. Almost too bright. |

....I agree...it is really butt ugly when it's not lit...here's mine in her lit glory....(and without the light....UGG)... MameMaster! FYI- I presently use it in a standalone unit. |

For as nasty as it looks without a light, its perfect with one. After reading the recommendations here, I'm going to try that 4 LED setup from Lazer. |
