JoJo's Bizarre Adventure cursed-stone PC mouse is a wild anime collectible from Taito

Full text

Japanese brand Taito is releasing one of the strangest mice I've ever laid my eyes on that's officially licensed for anime fans: the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Phantom Blood PC Mouse.

As discovered by Siliconera, this new mouse doesn't have all the bells and whistles of the best gaming mice and is a simple plug-and-play wired rodent, but instead, Taito has put all of its focus on recreating the iconic cursed item, down to its haunting illuminating eyes and stone-textured face. Unfortunately, it's not the kind of thing you can just walk into any old tech store and pick up, but an exclusive Japanese arcade prize item. Yet, I can only hope that anime fans alike can still find a way to get their hands on this official piece of JoJo tech - I just hope there's no vampirism side effects that come with it.

Jenni Lada at Siliconera pointed out that there are listings for it across some retailers, including at Hobby Genki, which states it will be available on July 31, 2026. Though there is a massive "out of stock" banner across the photo too.

It's also not entirely impossible to get your hands on Taito prizes and other merch that's typically reserved for prize machines in Japan. Personally, I regularly use online stores like Surugaya to import items like it that would otherwise be out of my reach. However, with stores like it, you do have to be okay with accepting that you'll be getting a second-hand item, rather than a brand-spanking new gaming mouse for your PC.

If you're a hardcore JoJo fan though, I imagine that won't stop you. I've only watched the first few series' of the anime, and even I'm contemplating adding this mouse to my setup as I'm infatuated with the fact that it's not just got official JoJo art printed across like MSI's Frieren Beyond Journey's End accessories . Instead, the entirety of the surface of this mouse recreates the various nooks and crannies of the mask's surface.

As a heads up to fellow anime enjoyers, this isn't the first time an iconic piece of anime history has been transformed into a mouse. Shuichi Shigeno's well-known Initial D series (which you may know more from its memes if you aren't an anime fan of a certain age like me) has resulted in a series of bizarre mice of its own. Rather than being based on a mask, naturally, these are based on the iconic cars used in the series, and can regularly be found on the likes of eBay.

They're not cheap by any means, and you can expect to pay $124.80 (eBay) for the privilege of having your mouse shaped like a Toyota AE86 car. But it's got Bluetooth connectivity over Taito's wired Stone Mask mouse, and the headlights even pop up and actually light up. It doesn't get any more anime than that.
