Taito Launches Official JoJo Phantom Blood PC Mouse With Cursed Stone Look
Japanese arcade brand Taito is releasing an officially licensed JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Phantom Blood PC mouse that’s designed less like a traditional gaming peripheral and more like a faithful recreation of a cursed in-series object—down to its illuminated eyes and stone-textured look. Availability is limited, and it appears to be tied to Japan’s prize-machine ecosystem, though listings are showing up on some online retailers.
Key takeaways
- Taito is launching an official JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Phantom Blood PC mouse.
- The mouse is a simple wired, plug-and-play design rather than a full-feature gaming model.
- Its design focuses on recreating the iconic cursed item, including glowing eyes and a stone-textured face.
- It’s presented as an exclusive Japanese arcade prize item, with some online listings indicating a July 31, 2026 release date.
- JoJo fans may also find related “anime cars as mice” products, including an Initial D AE86 mouse that has been spotted on eBay.
A JoJo mouse built around the cursed-item look
The new mouse is officially licensed for JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Phantom Blood and is produced by Taito. Instead of chasing the typical feature set associated with high-end gaming mice, the focus is on visual authenticity. The device is described as a wired plug-and-play peripheral, with illuminated eyes and a stone-like textured face meant to echo the series’ cursed object.
That design direction also explains why it likely won’t feel like a mainstream “buy anywhere” gaming mouse. The item is positioned as a Japanese arcade prize, which generally means you’ll need access to Japan’s prize machines—or rely on import-style resellers that source prize goods from those locations.
Where it’s listed, and what to expect
While it’s not expected to be widely available through typical electronics channels, some retailer listings are appearing online. One noted store listing indicates the mouse will be available on July 31, 2026, though the listing photo also shows a prominent “out of stock” banner.
Importing may still be an option for buyers outside Japan. However, since prize-machine items are often sourced second-hand through resale channels, availability may come with the expectation that you’re getting a used prize item rather than a brand-new retail product.
JoJo PC mice aren’t the first strange anime hardware
This isn’t the first time an anime icon has been turned into a PC mouse. Initial D has also spawned multiple unusual mice based on the cars from the series. These have been found through secondary marketplaces such as eBay, and one example mentioned is a Toyota AE86-shaped mouse.
That AE86 mouse isn’t positioned as a cheap novelty either. The price referenced is $124.80 on eBay, and it’s described as offering Bluetooth connectivity. Its headlights are also noted as popping up and lighting up, leaning hard into the “anime hardware” novelty approach.
