Razer has announced the return of the mouse bungee. Retailing for a scant $19.99, the bungee will help gamers by keeping their mouse cables from getting tangled up and in the way of their movements. This might not seem like a problem, but given the braided cabling found on most high-end mice which has a lot of drag, you would be surprised. The Razer mouse bungee will be released on their official website come July 28, 2011.
“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.”
