Guest guest Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 I have the same type mouse (optical cordless) by Logitech. The bottom is NOT warm at all nor is the light and I experience no swelling as you mention. I use this thing about 12-14 hours a day! If mine were doing that stuff I'd certainly wonder about it. I wonder if the paper and banana are just because of the light frequency that it uses? As mine runs on 2 AA cells, it can't generate too much heat via the light or the batteries wouldn't last very long. Perhaps yours is defective? Is there anyone you can call or check with? I can't see them putting a laser in them as they are pretty well all considered dangerous and LED's might put out a bit of heat if they are high output but to burn you I dunno. Seems that I remember lasers require a special symbol on them and warning not to look into them because of eye damage. Let me know what you find out.
