Masamune Shirow-Designed M.A.P.P. Mouse Revived, Limited Reservations Begin Today
Elecom Co., Ltd. announced that reservations for the re-released “M.A.P.P.” design mouse, created by manga artist Masamune Shirow, will commence today, April 6, 2026, at 12:00 PM JST. These limited-quantity mice will be available for reservation via the Elecom Direct Shop and the official e-commerce platforms of major electronics retailers.

This product is a revival of the “M.A.P.P. (THE MECHANICAL DESIGNERS ACCELERATE THE PERIPHERAL PRODUCTS)” mouse project, which originally launched in 2002 with collaborations from manga artist Masamune Shirow and mechanical designer Hajime Katoki.
The acclaimed exterior design has largely been retained, with Masamune Shirow himself redesigning certain areas, such as the newly added side buttons. The mouse has been constructed with materials selected for their durability, ensuring long-term use. For this re-release, the model has been updated to support Bluetooth® wireless connectivity, making it a highly practical, high-grade office tool suitable for daily use.
Each package includes an illustration card drawn by Masamune Shirow. There are three common color variations of the illustration card (artwork is consistent across cards, only colors differ), and a rare limited illustration (one type) may also be included. Each package contains one card.
