Applications
This mouse was designed for use with IBM personal computers and PS/2-compatible desktop systems. The PS/2 mouse interface was the standard peripheral connector on IBM PCs and compatibles from the late 1980s through the early 2000s, replacing the earlier serial bus mouse and later being superseded by USB. PS/2 ball mice of this type were standard equipment in corporate and institutional IBM environments — AS/400 workstations, IBM Aptiva, NetVista, and IntelliStation desktops among others used this connector. Today, PS/2 mice remain relevant for legacy system maintenance, industrial PC applications where PS/2 ports are still present, and vintage IBM computer collectors and restorers who need period-correct peripherals.
This IBM 12J4545 PS/2 ball mouse (M-SAM-IBM5) has been inspected and appears to be in good used condition. The body and buttons show normal handling wear consistent with previous office use. The PS/2 cable and connector appear intact with no visible damage. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions.
