Gizmodo —
... Neat! Daniel, who just had a mouse skeleton just "sitting in a box" (!!!) says the entire mod only cost him about $40-$50. Check his site for build details. [TheTentacleParadox] ...
The Paradox Mouse is one part steampunk, one part taxidermy
Boing Boing Gadgets —
The Paradox Mouse takes the usual raw materials of steampunk aesthetic — wood, brass, copper, gears and typewriter keys — and supplements them with the morbidly ironic: a mouse's skull, shoulder blades and spine. Yeeg.

... He details the lengthy process step-by-step in his blog. To make a long story short, he used a combination of wood, brass and mouse skeleton to construct the body; a lot of cutting, bending and welding was involved. The entire process took about 22 hours spread over a week and a half. All the parts including the mouse cost about $50. ...
Paradox Mouse, Steampunked with real mouse stuffing
Gizmo Watch —
... Shaped to mimic the a real mouse itself, Pon has carved the Paradox Mouse in LEDs with extra peripherals like a mouse skull, spine and shoulder blades, but all so efficiently embedded. Pon has a perfect custom mouse pad made to go with the insane mouse he has created. Are we cool in terming this Steampunk or are we too fascinated? Anyhow, if you have something cooking, do drop in a meal down here for us to ponder.

... too small and fragile for constant use. I then decided I will just carve some pieces out of wood. After this, I made a mount using brass tubing and brass I-beam shaped pieces. To match the keyboard, I decided to add vintage typewriter keys to each of the finger points on the main 4 buttons of this mouse. I used Alchemy symbols to replace the original letters in the keys. These symbols may or may not have been chosen for a specific significance in this project.

... specimen. That's because it incorporates the skeleton of a formerly living and breathing mouse. Yes, it's a mouse made out of a mouse skeleton.
Dubbed the Paradox mouse, it's got a spine going up its center and has a mouse skull in a cage in the middle.

Overall, though, pretty impressive work.

... tells me that something like this creepy Paradox mouse never came up at any of their brainstorming sessions.
What’s so interesting about this particular mouse? Well, it’s sort of built in a Steampunk-style with some pretty interesting…..wait, is that a backbone? It is! The creator actually encorporated the backbone and skull of a real mouse into his own input device which shares the same name. I guess we know why it’s called the Paradox Mouse.
