Computer mouse object

To create the computer mouse below, I have used a reference image of a computer mouse. I started off by creating the shape of the mouse as accurately as possible, after creating the shape of the mouse, I then began to create other features of the mouse such as the buttons, the side black parts, the wheel etc by using several polygon cubes. I have also created and named each layer. Below are screenshots of the computer mouse that I have created:

After I created the entire mouse, I then started drawing the arrows by using MS Paint. I then used Adobe Photoshop to colour the background in a specific colour. Below is an image of the arrow that I have created:

After creating the arrow, I then started to UV map the mouse side, black buttons with the above image. Below are screenshots of UV mapping:

After doing that, I then started UV mapping the grey mouse buttons as shown on the screenshot below:

I also created a search icon for the mouse by using MS Paint and Adobe Photoshop. I started off by creating the search icon in Photoshop and coloured the background as shown on the screenshot below:

I then used MS Paint to paint the circle part as shown on the image below:

After finish drawing the search icon, I then UV mapped the button as shown on the screenshot below:
