The 5 Best Mouse Bungees

Razer Bungee V2

In 1994, the CEO of a company called Mouse Bungee introduced the business world to the idea of a mouse cable-holder. When the product didn’t take off, he sold the company to Razer, which introduced the first mouse bungee for gaming in 2010. Since then, there has been little variation from the initial design, which is one reason why the Razer V2 continues to dominate the market. With drag-free cord control up to 3.2mm, a weighted base for stability and anti-slip feet, the Razer V2 touts impressive specs, and all for under $20. Though other devices – some of which we’ve reviewed below – are more feature-rich, we like the simplicity, durability and flexibility of the Razer, and it even works excellently in office environments as well.

Pros:

• Rust-resistant spring arm
• Full freedom of movement
• Compatible with all top-tier gaming mice

Cons:

• Base could use a bit more more weight
• Sharp corners on clip may dig into cord

BenQ Zowie CAMADE

When it comes to gaming, the Razer vs. BenQ’s Camade is as controversial as pizza rolls vs. bagel bites. In gaming blogs and online reviews, the Camade gets a thumbs up for its adjustable spring that allows players to customize the height of their mouse cord. Though the unit adopts a similar pyramid-shaped design as the Razer, the V2 is about three ounces heavier, providing additional stability. That said, some gamers appreciate the lightweight construction of the Camade, and like that its one-piece design provides the necessary durability to be thrown across the room when your entire team gets fragged.

Pros:

• Rubber clip compatible with most mice cables
• Sturdy adjustment spring
• Rubber feet provide added stability

Cons:

• Unreliable with thick mouse cables
• Pricier than similar models
