    Geek craftsman Slava Tyukalov has put his considerable skills to work to create a mouse for those not satisfied with mass produced, off-the-shelf options, recently unveiling three handmade mice that should better suit your taste. Available in "Black Pearl" (above), "Cold Steel", and "GoldenEye" designs (check out the latter two after the break), each mouse is constructed from a graphite/aluminum composite metal matrix material (which, like Tang, is used by NASA) and is covered with genuine Italian leather, with each also coming packaged in an equally stylish case. The mouse itself is a wireless, optical number, with an adequate 800dpi resolution and three buttons accessible underneath its leather covering. While not one of a kind, the mice are definitely limited and priced accordingly, costing $397 apiece.
