the mouse is cool but you should have done something to the keys to make them look more steam punkish

Yes I could. But I did not because it was an "The easy way instructable".

I am looking really forward to see yours regarding a similar mouse with more steampunkish keys.

With kind regards,

I am impressed once again but not surprised following your projects for quite some time. You are a big inspiration for me Mr. Steam!
Keep up the good work!

Thank you very much my Lady.

What a great conversion, I have really wanted to do my key board to match my monitor, but I just don't have the time with all the other projects,

This looks like one a person could do in a day.

Using napkins is a great idea - the texture looks very nice!

Yeah FTW. Fantastic idea. Now the challenge; try to find thing to NOT use this method on. Ha Ha Ha
