    Nope. Red LED on the bottom. Just a blue light on the top. But they are cheap. I got mine for $20.

(not sure how strong the LED's are in the mice, and thus not sure of the prices). Expect Apple even to go all the way and make a White LED assembly.



    I would LOVE the white light idea myself...
