Post by: WhiteFireDragon on Sun, 11 November 2012, 02:54:46: Looks pretty badass, similar to the cyborg RAT series. I just hope it doesn't cost a fortune, just like TT's level 10 cases.

When are these things out?

EDIT: oh shiznits, quick search shows that it's already launched at ~$90

$94 on newegg.

The concept looked way better imo.

Now, that's a mouse women would love if they tried it. You can dry your nails while you browse facebook!

Post by: vun on Sun, 11 November 2012, 07:56:30: Looks interesting, would love to have one in my collection eventually, but the price here in Norway is nearly twice that of the US one; about $160 before shipping.

Post by: hotlikedimes on Sun, 11 November 2012, 10:24:24: I dig it. If I didn't drop that much money on my Sensei and were looking to change mice I'd give that one a good look. All though I'll always be a sucker for the old mx-518... As far as that cable catcher goes, that's pretty cool but they need to come out with a mouse bungie.. Razer and a handful of 'ebay companies' are among a few out there (the steelseries one got discontinued) and the razer is specifically built for their mouse cords; my steelseries doesn't work very well on it.. had to do some modification to the wire channel.

They should put the fan in the mouse facing downwards and add some flexible "skirts" around the edge to make a hovering mouse. It'd be completely impractical, since you'd have to use it without applying downward pressure, but the "cool factor" would be very high.

Also...

Razer is the only one that has a production one at the moment (the only other ones i knew of was steelseries an they discontinued theirs) and the razer is specifically built for their mouse cords; my steelseries doesn't work very well on it.. had to do some modification to the wire channel.
Is Razer really the only current maker of mouse bungees? I'm pretty sure I've seen many others around the web besides just Razer...

I'm sure there are others, a quick ebay search yields a few, but since there are so many different diameter cords it's hard to know if it'll work with your mouse without testing.

yeah i realize that i basically said that razer is the only one that makes them.. haha, gonna change that... (hungover and wasn't finished my coffee at time of post :p )

Razer does seem to be the only big name that makes them, even then I haven't really seen them much. No stores here in Norway stock them, so if I want one I'll have to get one from England or something.

Edit:
As davkol mentioned there's the Roccat thingie which I'd forgotten about. I don't really trust Roccat though, I don't have a good reason for it so it might be a bit daft.

I've been thinking about just building my own, but I haven't given it too much thought yet so I don't really know how I'd do it.

Post by: davkol on Sun, 11 November 2012, 13:49:17: I have an USB hub with a bungee — made by Roccat.

Post by: TheProfosist on Sun, 11 November 2012, 13:51:18: Roccat makes a mouse bungee I belive or they did at one point.
Title: Re: tte lvl 10 mouse
Post by: TheQsanity on Sun, 11 November 2012, 15:54:27: You dont need a mouse bungee if you dont mind ghetto ones. Or learn how the koreans rought their wires. Which I do

As for that fan/mouse it is like a gimmick to the next level... I want my hands to be warm, not cold!

CM Storm makes mouse bungee too.

Though in my opinion you don't really need mouse bungee, just grab a bunch of cord and let it sit on top of your desk. If you have enough on the desk the weight itself will not allow it to roll back down again.

Or you can easily just place a book or / rubix cube / other random items you have on your desk over the cord to hold it in place and it will not fall back down anymore.

I got a mouse bungee for free as a gift, it's nice but personally I'd never pay to buy one.

Post by: noisyturtle on Tue, 13 November 2012, 15:31:45: Do people really have such issues with sweaty hands? Are you living in a swamp?
Title: Re: tte lvl 10 mouse
Post by: hotlikedimes on Tue, 13 November 2012, 16:28:02: My hands either get sweaty or they go numb. there's like a 2 degree point where I'm fine but higher and i'm sweaty, lower and my hand is frozen.

Also I love my mouse bungie honestly, for $20 it's so worth it. I mean you buy it, place it and then don't worry about it until you move your setup which if you're most people isn't very often.. I hated having to yank my mouse all the way back just to pick up some slack because I kept messing with wires behind my monitors and it ****ed with my mouse cord. It's one of those things where you set it and forget it, and for $20 it's not bad.
Title: Re: tte lvl 10 mouse
Post by: TheQsanity on Sat, 17 November 2012, 19:43:20: there are so many other. So many other very options for the bungee cord. You could tape paper onto Accord take the paper downe to the table. Could use a zip tie to bungee cord. Can you get some type of wire router from the store. you get some weights and paper clips can use it to hold your cord up.

The Scorpion seems kinda gimmicky. Seems like it consumes a lot of spacewl

Post by: TheProfosist on Sun, 18 November 2012, 03:01:05: Saw and used the mouse for a bit. For me its too big and the side buttons are too touchy
