Japanese designer creates leather mouse

03/05/2012

Japanese designer Atelier Wazakura has created the ‘Kawanezumi leather mouse’,  a computer mouse covered in leather rather than the usual plastic. Hand-trimmed panels of leather have been precisely fitted onto the exterior of an optical, wireless mouse. The only openings are a slot for the scroll wheel to poke through above and the cover for a single AA battery below.

 

The mouse is slightly smaller than average, as it is sized to comfortably fit Japanese hands.

 

Atelier Wazakura has priced the Kawanezumi at $91.75 each. “Reservations” are required when ordering as sales of the mouse are limited to only 10 units per month.
