Who wants to look at it: Logitech Mx 1000
Sure you could use it! It's from the same manufacturer as all the other chips, but I don't see a datasheet for it on their site linked above. I don't think this is possible though, because you'd need to illuminate a huge area by laser standards. It's easy to illuminate a 5mm by 5mm patch, but try 6 by 6 centimeters.

UPDATE: You're in germany? I wasn't aware that there was a team there yet... that's uber cool.
