Hello! Hey, something to look for when you buy your CompUSA Crystal trackball. There seems to be two kinds, one that the lead wires are soldered in and one that has a plug into the board. The main difference is the one that has the soldered leads glows that sick weak GREEN by default!! I had to clip these off and swap them with the red LED's. Just a little FYI. Also, I read on one of these posts that these are 5 volt LED's, so I picked up some of the cool blue ones at Radio Shack but they were very weak. I'm wondering if this model also changed the voltage of the LED's as well? Any thoughts??

Game on!
Doug
