Guy called Dan Bowles, made an interesting discovery when accidentally lifted his Apple Mighty Mouse in certain angle. He looked at the red LED pattern underneath and this is what he found. As you see, when looking at the picture below, it forms the shape of a cartoon character Mighty Mouse. Is this a hardare Easter Egg made by Apple, or just a concidence? Check more pictures, and post your comments. If you also have Apple’s Mighty Mouse, be sure to check this, and if it works, take the picture (if possible) and post the link in comments or email it. Enjoy!
And the joke at the end :) Can you guess who this is?

The Mighty Mouse must be tilted 45 degrees forward in order to get this projection.
Otherwise, it’s just a squishy blob. It’s just the natural shape of the LED that’s causing the variously sized circles.
That’s an awesome find.
Wicked!!!
My Mac mouse is not mighty and also do this effect.
OLD
I can see it - but Jason has sit right about the angle! Too funny.
wow. that was unexpected
omg, that is flippin’ awesome!!
kida scary
I’m not sure. But you can kind of tell that it is a coincidence because when you try on your apple muse nothing shows up, but like some people said you have to tilt it to and angle and when i did that mine turned to a dog. So i’m thinking it might just be a coincidence because the lense inside the mouses have dust in them and form different shapes. But I’m not 100% sure. 0_o
this works with my mac mouse also. knowing the people at mac as well as I do (connections) it probably is more than just coincidental. very cool find though!
my pc mouse makes an halloween pumpkin projection :o funny

Oh how I would love a mighty steve mouse
wow, i had one for at least a year, and never realized the projection looked like a mouse.
I just have a cheap optical mouse and I can make some strange ant-like creature (Bugger/Formic from Ender’s Game series or Cho-Ja from Raymond E. Feist’s books?)
I’m pretty sure that last one is either photoshopped or built in purposefully.
My logitech (M-UV55a) can’t make nothin’
well mine is a microsoft mouse and it makes tom cat!!! Are you sure this one isn’t Jerry?
My HP mouse makes a fox or wolf with no eyes.
My mom’s Apple Mighty Mouse also does this. I think it is very clever.
how come my mouse doesent do that???
the last picture is flawed. the hand is holding the mouse the wrong way for a projection to be shown (well, unless it’s a genius netscroll)
by the way, my mouse isnt moighty, its just a pro, and it still makes the mouse picture. pity the mouse is scratchy tho….
My PC mouse makes a firey skull. O.o
PHOTOSHOP…
Mine to looks like a kind of jack o lantern.
…
I totally knew that! I did it all the time w/ my mouse!
Like the Steve Jobs illusion, though.
thats cool. my mighty mouse does the same thing. i think it’s mostly coincidence but apple may have tweaked it a little.
AWESOME!!! i have never seen anything like it!
my mouse makes an ox, how can it be? Totally cool I think…

ha i saw this post and lifted my mighty mouse at once ;D
it really looks like that. never noticed that before oO
nice mice ;D
mine (microsoft) shows a torch and fire. Its so cool!
Mine shows some funky LED/laser thing that I’d assume it uses to see where I’m moving it. Of course it could be the Ghost in the Machine…
It also squeaks and plugs into a cheese wedge to recharge.
to comment number 2

I tried that with my mouse…i got an exclamation mark no matter how i put it…
