I toned down a blue LED by inking over with a red pen

Why do makers have thse indicator LEDS so bright? On the little (two
thumb size) wireless keyboard they are so bright it makes it hard to see
the keys. Bought a NAS enclosure LED on that lit the room up at night,
attacked it with snips and aditional series resistor. Don't know what
value I ended up at but the current was 50 uA (micro amps) and it was
still a bit bright. The thing would glow dimly if you just lighly
touched the wires with dry fingers.

As I said, I like the idea that HP have on the switches I have...the LED
brightness is variable. I have them on the lowest setting.
