Based on a Trust PS/2 Mouse I build this computer mouse for one of my Steampunk computers.

Building a mouse is a bit tricky but see the results and the steps hoe I build it.

I painted the visible parts with some brass paint.
I disassembled the mouse and covered the PCB with a piece of leather.
Then I covered the wheel with a gear and a piece of a copper tube.
I used glue to fasten it.
The cables where covered by shoelaces. I slitted the ends of the cables into the four wires and covered them with shoelace as well.

Great job! I've been thinking about ideas for my own steampunk mouse, and really enjoy what you did with this one. But I'm curious about the name: "Building"?

I must say nicely done!
(I do hope though that this one can't run away and bred, some people have enough of a mice problem with out adding in a mecha mouse!)
