The inspiration for my mouse is the one I am using on my own computer. It is very practical for programs like photoshop and illustrator since you can program the side buttons to different functions in the programs. 

I used lines that i lofted to get the shape of the mouse and the I used a cutPlane to get the bottom part of the mouse and to be able to use the createSolid command to get a nice and clean shape. When I had my finished body i used booleanDifference and extrude to get some of the holes and the flat side for the buttons. I used extendCurve a lot to get the curves that I wanted to work with. 

I used black and white plastics for the body and the buttons. I created the text for the buttons in Illustrator and used them as materials in on the buttons and made them self illuminating.
