The Mouse Bungee Returns To Keep Your Mouse In Check
Back in '96, when Quake and rocket jumping were synonymous with skilled gaming, there was another product that helped gamers keep their competitive spirits revved and their mouse swiping optimal - the Mouse Bungee. And now 15 years on, Razer, the world's leading high-end precision gaming brand has taken this well-loved old-school accessory and given it a modern makeover to keep up with the next generation of professional gamers.
The product was so well-loved by Razer that when its inventor Ed Larkin expressed interest in joining the team back in 2010, it was the perfect opportunity to bring him into the fold. Now Ed is part of Razer's innovation team that forges new paths and progresses technological advancements for the betterment of gaming.
"Back in the old days, mice weren't as well-made as today and the cord would tangle and drag against surfaces, a major source of annoyance for any serious gamer," said Robert "RazerGuy" Krakoff, President, Razer. "Then the Mouse Bungee came along and solved all that by keeping the mouse cord off the ground so your swiping is optimally drag-free. Razer's proud to rejuvenate such an innovative contraption for next generation gamers looking to achieve the highest level of gaming performance with their mice."
Outfitted with a stable, taut arm, the Razer Mouse Bungee threads your mouse cord through to keep it from dragging against surfaces or tangling. This ensures your perfectly lined-up headshots aren't messed up by unnecessary cord hindrance. Anti-slip feet and a weight installed in the Razer Mouse Bungee's base ensure it remains immobile no matter how aggressive your swipes. Razer's updated sleek design and pitch black finish makes it an essential space-saver and aesthetic addition to your gaming setup.

a mouse bungee is a cord weight. the spring raises and lowers the cord as you move the mouse.
jajaja tnks!
the idea is to reduce cable drag and mimic a wireless sensation by weighing the cord down. I own 2 original mouse bungee's.
I might have to get one of these bungies, even my G9's cord seems to catch on stuff on my desk all of the time.

:laugh:
Good invention though, non the less.
Wireless mice still aren't ready for high-end usage, years and years after the first cheap wireless desktop sets came out. And if Razer would use the effort required to remarket a 15 year old product to attempt making a decent wireless mouse, it will still suck.
It was a little lacking in stability and flexibility, but it basically served to keep most of the mouse cord immobile. :D
