Small metal cable holder thingy ? like a little silver puck/weight to clamp the cable. what are they called and where can I get one. Not the stupid plastic scorpion mess. I'm trying to google it and I can't for the life of me find what I'm looking for. Any suggestions ? Cheers.
 
Cheers fella but that's the very kind of eye cancer I'm trying to avoid.

I did see a picture of a metal holder made by steelseries like this http://www.aliexpress.com/store/pro...al-Cable-Wire-Wrapper/532860_32250179254.html

But they don't seem to make them anymore. Can't find anything similar.

I bought this like 10 years ago and have been looking to buy another for awhile now to use on other workstations without much luck. I believe it's what OP is looking for.

I think they all have been replaced by the large spring bungees now, which is a shame.

It is a Steelseries cord holder back in the days and it has been long discontinued. The closest one I've seen is if you search for Razer Armadillo on a well known auction site.
 
Yeah the Armadillo is really all that is out there of this style but not as cool looking as a piece of billet. I guess it's better than the can of Stella I have atm sitting on the cable.
 
Other than the unavailable Steelseries posted above, every other "mouse bungee" on the market is ugly plastic tat :(
 
Why not buy a wireless mouse ?

I had a wireless mouse years ago, a logitech m600 or something. It was horrible, changing the batteries almost daily, never again. Mind you I was playing a lot of games back then, not so much these days well hardly ever actually. But still, wireless input devices are just more hassle for me than they are worth. I've got a tin of beer acting as a "bungee" which is infinitely better than those plastic monsters. Just wedged the cable under the ring pull BOOM! sorted :)

They might not look that great but I will never be without mine after using one! The feeling of never having the cable drag is... Words can't explain!

Wireless sucks, still more of someones personal preference.

I have a Zowie FK1 for FPS & regular use, a Razer Naga Epic for MMOs. Back when I actually used it for raids I ended up still wiring it up for some reason. Now I'm a bit more casual MMO wise I keep it wireless.

Manufacturers should make better mice cables especially when DIY cables are so much better in reducing drag and a hell of a lot lighter too.
