The mouse for the modern caveman

Not everyone feels comfortable using a mouse made out of modern materials like plastic or, y'know, mammoth skin. Fortunately for office cavemen everywhere, a Russian designer called Neko has filled this market niche by making a mouse out of stone -- or, more likely, made a plastic mouse with polished stones stuck on top. The beige scroll wheel and cable ruin the appeal slightly, although that wouldn't stop us from freaking out the Engadget interns by turning up to work with what appears to be a hunk of rock.

That looks kinda cool!

The bird inside the printer sure looks tired though...

that rocks! haha pun sorry. and what is this primitive cable at the end of the mouse? somewhere i heard it delivers power, so the mouse needs no battery, i would like this very much, my cordless mouse dies on me and i find no benefit from having no cord.

bring back this primitive technology, it is more practical than the modern wastes of money.

A mouse so simple, a caveman could use it...

NOT COOL, MAN!!! NOT COOL.

He really should have gone the extra mile and made a stone scroll wheel.

I'll let him off the hook though for the plastic insulation. Although, he could have made it a wireless mouse to make the theme more seamless.
