Introduction
As a regular reader of www.hexus.net and the hexus forums along with a desire for case modding, I wanted to put a little something back into the community.
It's been a while since I have created something a little out of the ordinary.
I've been modding for quite some time but I wanted something new...something different.
Well... "If you want an "Ultra" setup and you have a desire for the best, it makes sense to have an "Ultra" mod
For the finest PC there's only 1 choice - www.ultraproducts.com -
The Candidate
So what do I choose to Mod. That's a tough one!!
After a lot of deliberation I wanted it to be something that gets used everyday. Something that's gonna make your mates shout "I want one of those where do you get it?"
In the end I came up with a ....well see below.
Why a mouse? For what I had in mind it makes the perfect candidate.
I've been using an MX1000 for a while and love it but if I was to mod one I thought I better purchase another as I can't be without it for a few days.
The mod is going to consist of painting the central area of the mouse, the part that’s already painted in a metallic finish.
I will go into detail a little later.
Stripping the mouse
Below is the MX1000 as is from factory.
I only wanted to mod the centre section of the mouse (painted area) so I had to strip it down.
As you can see Logitech do us all a favour by covering up the screw heads so as to tell if it's been tampered with![]()
All you have to do is feel where the holes are and cut away a small section so that you can fit in a screwdriver. Bang goes your guarantee!!
Also you have to remove the 2 pads on which the mouse sits at the rear.
Once you have removed the 5 screws the mouse simply pulls apart.
There are a few screws left to remove inside.
The battery - The micro switch on the side button - The buttons on top
Once stripped down it should look something like this
This isn't too hard, just gotta remember where the bits go :-)
