*note to self* Don't look directly into the laser beam on the bottom of my optical mouse...

[vi edit]

OUCH!!!

...yes it has been a long day :frown:

 

[saxman]

That could mess up your eyes, seriously!

 

[Supradude]

they're bright, but only LED's... not too dangerous...

 

[NoreagaCNN]

I figured sooner or later somebody would do this, LOL

Damnit, Double Post

 

[dc]

yeah, it's not a laser, only a led.

 

[BatmanNate]

*sigh of relief*

I'm not the only one!!

 

[Viper GTS]

Bright? Yes.

Powerful enough to do damage? No.

Viper GTS

It's sort of like a car wreck on the side of the road...you don't really want to look but for some reason you do :\

 

[RGN]

putz, its not that bright.

 

[loogie]

i have the record in our house. 15 seconds. top that!

On my MS Intellimouse, it dims if it's off the desk for more than a few seconds. Probably a safeguard for the dumbasses that shined it in their eyes in the first place =)

 

[Thanatopsis]

Elemental,

It also dims if you don't move it for a few seconds. Probably some insane power saving feature

What's even worse is a friend who covers the little sensor and shines the mouse into your eyes. That LED travels a long ways...

 

[Zucchini]

hm my logitech dims too.. are you sure it wouldn't cause damage? Just looking from the side its very very bright.. they do warn u against it.

 

[Mday]

pfffft....

yeah, it's a LED.

it's not as strong as a laser. ;-)


anyway... my white ones for my case are brighter =)

 

[Mday]

any bright light you look at for an extended period of time can cause damage.

i mean, you don't stare at the sun, do you?

 

[bobtist]

No, not the sun... Just welding torches.

 

[nullshark]

<i mean, you don't stare at the sun, do you?>

Only when it's eclipsed.

 

[Missus]

OMG!!!

Didn't anyone ever tell you that you should let someone else perform laser eye surgury on you???



Be Careful!!!
