Gum Mouse!!!

Gum Mouse!!!

well, it was going to be an altoid mouse, but i didnt have any cases. So i used orbit gum pack. Expect to spend some money on it, as mouses can be a bit expensive. The results were great, everyone thinks its awesome. Plug it in and have a great april fools, or stash it in your pocket for transport. Oh yeah, and Vote for me :)
