What 🖲️ means

A round black holder with a pair of matte spots representing buttons that overall enclose a blue ball in between. Sometimes, this emoji is shown with an oval holder and a red ball.

How and when to use it

If you're sharing content that has clickable links or any other such formats in it, you may use 🖲️ to signal to your audience that they can click in those specific regions.
Since a mouse or a trackball is used to navigate and select options on a computer or laptop device, use 🖲️ to suggest exactly that! For instance, "Scroll into this list and select the ones you like most 🖲️" or "You've got to navigate through your options, man 🖲️. I can't do that for you".
🖲️ could be used in philosophical frameworks too! "Select the thoughts you want to have and deselect those annoying white noises 🖲️".
You could generally use 🖲️ in computer contexts; it can be a repost of a trackball/computer sale, a post about a computer course, or just a picture of your new system, anything.
