How did you find the photodiodes? The mouse has shaft encoders but I thought those were IR based.
the photodiode dealies are the black things, the IR transmitters are the clear thingies with the bump on them, for BEAM stuff, you want the transmitters, since they are sensitive to ALL light, the recieverrs are to weak
