The DIY web site Instructables has posted a rather strange article that details how to create a computer mouse peripheral with the body of a deceased rodent. If you are a taxidermist, or happen to know one, this could be the beginning of the most PETA-friendly mod ever.
This mouse mod really seems to be inspired by the dead beaver case mod from a few weeks ago. Perhaps people are finally realizing that the potential in using an animal carcass as a housing for electronics was being completely wasted, but more likely people have just desired more unique computer components. What’s next- a monitor modded into a stuff dog?

hi,
To get more mileage out of your dead pets, come check out all of the taxidermy projects that Instructables has to offer. And don’t forget that we’re giving away a laser cutter. Entries are due by June 17th.

Think it’s soft and will be mothy after few months. Author must varnish it before.

I would totally use something like this, if it doesn’t rot. It seems kinda sick, but awesome at the same time.
