Hey jus found this amazing peace of work by a russian,
He is the administrator of a site called www.modding.ru

Jus look at the steps he took make this stainless mouse,
truly amazing.

Words by him:

1.My mouse mod was based on Microsoft IntelliMouse Optical, USB+PS/2
2 More than 90 per cent of plastic was cut out.

3. All the details ( including the wheel of scrolling and the buttons) were cast from the stainless steel 18/10 (which is used for medical instruments)Some decorations were cast and soldered.

The wire is inside the steel casing.

I made a special case of glassy plastic for this mouse mod.

The mouse mod is in the case.

The shining of the mouse and the connector in the dark ( sorry for the quality of the photos because the camera has problems with focus in the dark)

The hand is on the mouse.

The connector USB was cast from the stainless steel too.

The case is covered by plastic. It takes me ages to fit the plastic to the case. Then you cut out the handles and the legs.
After that you cut the microporus (soft) rubber according to the shape of the mouse mod.
Then you make the shape from the mouse pad ( they are soft and made of cloth)
Then you cover it with velvet.

Sory for giving the snaps rather than links, thought it will kill the whole mood while going thru so many image links.
