The PlayStation Mouse (US/UK: SCPH-1090, JP: SCPH-1030) is an input device for the PlayStation that allows the player to use a mouse as a method of control in compatible games. The mouse was released in Japan on December 3, 1994, the launch date of the PlayStation.[1]

The mouse itself is a simple two-button

ball mouse
that plugs directly into the PlayStation controller port without adapters or conversions and is a fully supported Sony accessory. It was packaged along with a mouse mat bearing the PlayStation logo.

The mouse is mainly used in

Area 51 as an aiming device instead of a light gun compatibility.[2]

A special Konami-branded edition of the mouse was released alongside the Japanese exclusive title Tokimeki Memorial: Forever With You.[3]

Mouse packs for Disney's Winnie the Pooh Kindergarten and Disney's Winnie the Pooh Preschool were also released exclusively in Japan.[4][5]
