The device was built from in wood, copper, pipes and other industrial materials to be given a steampunk look. The artist who created the mouse has used a theme based on a furnace. He actually used fake coal and orange LEDs to create the impression of hot coals. The amazing aesthetics resulted from the combination of copper pipes and wooden case.

This mouse fits perfect in Steampunk Laptop’s USB, otherwise it would look weird next to a high-tech laptop, like MacBook Air for example.
