The Mouse Bungee And I thought that's neat, but WTF 10 bucks?? So I decided to make my own bungee. ![[image loading]](http://i41.tinypic.com/2m4xeh5.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://i41.tinypic.com/1zq7cr9.jpg) (Yeah, I realize my desk is dusty as hell.) It's a pretty preliminary design but it was the first that I thought of. 2 zip ties clipped down to desk, paperclip at top to secure wire. I've been using it for a couple days and so far it feels nice. Anyway, there's my first blog post.   | ||

But i mean if you slapped down for your 5$ microsoft free with my dell mouse why bother I thought it was to have the proper slack amount on your cord and to prevent the cord weight from affecting your mouse placement. ie. If I have a really light mouse and a rather long mouse cord, when the cord hangs off the desk and I let go of the mouse, the weight of the cord pulls the mouse and messes up its position. I've never had a mouse cord get frayed by a desk... makes me wonder what desk you use  | ||

Hahahah, I've had that conversation countless times. The worst of it was when I brought it to school when I was done with my project to ladder in class (cool teacher ;P). I had to explain it so many times... probably shouldn't have brought my Qck+ either >_> | ||

Plastic holds form too well my cord wont get creases etc but the edge of my desk will fray it. | ||

Big. Ass. Mousepad. http://www.steelseries.com/int/products/surfaces/qck/information It doubles as a placemat and really cuts down the dusting that needs to be done  But be prepared to take a lot of shit when you ask for a new seat to ladder while the class works >=) | ||

I've never had a mouse cord get frayed by a desk... makes me wonder what desk you use well i own a G5 and its cord is not hard rubber like most mouse it's nylon braid and it totally gets frayed after 3+ yr of usage, also ppl who own g5 rarely need a bungee because of the adjustable weight feature that keeps the mouse from sliding off on its own (that and braided cord grabs onto the edges of a desk better, meaning its length will stay the amount u pulled out) On March 21 2009 23:35 404.Delirium wrote: Big.

I've used Icemats, 3 different Razers, Qck and other steelseries, thundermats and a few others.  I don't know why I use the Qck+ with SC so much. I used to use the "control" side of the x-act mat, but when I loaned it to my friend for a LAN I got used to the Qck+ and just haven't bothered to change.I go through phases where I become obsessed about things... knives (still comes now and again), bushcraft, computer peripherals, hell, even boondoggling ^_^ | ||

My first time on teamliquid.net so what's up guys. Mouse Bungee's are getting more popular these days, but reading from all the comments from Amazon, there's a lot of compatibility and weight issues with the commercial mouse Bungees out right now. So I thought I share what I'm using right now, just made it on a whim. If anyone got any ideas for the "tip" of the bungee for which I can attach and make it more flexible please share. Hope the image links work. =D | ||
