It does look good.

Though I prefer the stone kit.

Way too much money. You could buy a new Dell laptop with the wooden keyboard price...

I've a wooden TV here, from the 70's I think. I was going to trow it away, but I will hold it. Maybe wooden stuff will get popular again and I can earn some cash with that

If that TV is still in (more or less) good working condition , you might be able to sell it to a collector.
There are people out there , that collect stuff like that.

You know what I like to collect? Long Play disks. I love it, love it, love it .

I wonder how heavy a wooden mouse should be though . Are those stuff made of plastic that looks like wood? Or is it really wood?

The stuff on that site is REAL wood.(And by their own claims environmentally sound as well.)
The stone stuff is actually "corian(tm)" ; a composite of ground natural stone , stuck together with some polymeres under high pressure , to resemble the "real stuff" (which it actually is , in a way"
This kind of "Stone" is also known as "Recomposite" ; Often used for "marble" and "granite" tiles.
It's a way of puting the "wasteproducts" of *real* natural stone products to good use.

Oh , and :

BROTHER!
I have about two meters(tightly packed) of 'em.(About 30cm of that is filled with (shaped) Picture-Discs...)
And still play them as well ; Analogue recordings do have *so* much more dynamics than that crappy digital stuff....
