Playstation Mouse
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The PlayStation Mouse (SCPH-1090) is a peripheral input device for the Sony PlayStation console that allows the player to use a mouse as a method of control in compatible games. The release date of the mouse is not known, but it is speculated that it was released in tandem with the PlayStation console and existed at least since 1995.[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 was mainly of use to point 'n' click adventures and other mouse-driven games to control the cursor. In later years, first-person shooters also made use of the peripheral to aim the player's view in the same manner as similar games on the PC. It was also used by the arcade lightgun shooting game Area 51 as an aiming device instead of lightgun compatibility,
