I really like this mod - it's goofy - I like goofy (some of you who hang out in irc know this first hand).

Two balls? Lol. Some optical mice have two LED's, for some reason.

That's an awesome idea...BTW - some optical mice have 2 LED's because they use 2 points of light contact to determine at a finer grade the position of the cursor, or so I have heard (I've never found a single LED optical mouse to be innacurate, so I don't understand why they would og through the trouble of having 2 - maybe to charge more?)
I'm gonna do this mod on an older mouse, but I want to find a vampire figure or something like that, maybe a skeleton or something...really cool idea...
