It's a computer mouse that has been resculpted to LOOK like a giant cockroach. Yes, it still works. the cord is held in the fron mandibles. You click the carapace to use the buttons (it is a 2 button mouse). The bump in the middle is a scroll wheel.
It's a full 7.5 inches of buggy terror. (a normal mouse is about 5") It frightened the neighbor, who wouldn't come within three feet of it since it looks so much like a a real live roach grown to monstrous size. Normal giant hissing cockroachs (the model for this) top out at 4". This guy is almost twice that size.
Keeping the material and paint out of the innards was the tricky part, but I did test it out after I was done and it still works. It takes a little more force than usual to operate, but should be fine once new owner adjusts to the feel of it.
ApoxieSculpt over standard two button mouse with scrollwheel. Standard mouse PS/2 plug.
Wow, that one's really impressive. I agree with you - I'll be stunned if no one buys that. If nothing else, there must be someone out there who will buy it just to replace their friend's mouse with it or something.
Yah, the girl that works for the business behind me would not come within three feet of it, even knowing it was a fake. It made her skin twitch. I was most gratified with that reaction.
I'm tempted to do a companion mod piece with a bugged out keyboard. I simply did not have time to do it before con though. But boy do I ever have spare keyboards lying around...
Whew... from the thumbnail, I thought it was a mutalated, dead hissy and was about ready to go apeshit. Then I read the description and breathed a sigh of relief. Great (and very realistic) work!

When did it suddenly become cool to hate everything? It's a growing problem, especially in the entertainment world, and no one benefits from an increasingly hard to please, pessimistic audience.
