The mouse 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 point-and-click adventures, strategy games, simulation games and visual novels. In later years, first-person shooters which make use of the peripheral to aim the player's view in the same manner as similar games on the PC were released. It is also used by the arcade light gun shooting game 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]
