mouse cord interference

Illkillya

What's the best way to get rid of mouse cord interference? It drives me mad when I feel any friction from the mouse cord. I need something along the lines of the mouse bungee - or wireweights -

At the moment I have the mouse cord wrapped around a CD spindle, 1/4 of the way up the spindle, so that it can spin, but it has 15 CD's on top of it so it doesn't spin easily. Not a bad solution, but could do better. I know I could get a wireless mouse but I hate them too

pull up the slack and selotape it to the desk, no need for expensive bungies.

as cremo says, in work I have all the slack pulled up to the desk edge and then used a velcro pad on the desk to stick the wire too (with it's own piece of velcro). All the play is then available to you. When travelling I have a travel mouse they winds in and out, but it isn't great.

At home have gone laser/cordless and couldn't go back..


hmmm, the endless possibilities of velcro, there could be a thread in that.

Blu-tac is the right stuff for keeping those annoying cables at bay!

I'll have to go with DonalN on this one. Take a trip to the 21st Century and get yourselves wireless mice :rolleyes:

I don't game myself, but I understand that wireless mice are generally no good for it?

yeah you can get slight delays and when under fire it can be damaging if not fatal

Not true, been using wireless mice for a long time now and I still own.

Wireless mice have batteries in them which makes the mouse heavier. This is fine for a normal computer user, but I have in the past been addicted to Quake and need to squeeze every tiny advantage I can out of the setup. It doesn't matter as much in other games, but the slightest interference can make a big difference in Quake, particularly with the lightning gun.
