Evo-G MB1 Gaming Mouse Bungee
Testing and thoughts
Â
Testing was pretty simple for the MB1 Mouse Bungee, although you will have to rely on my opinions rather than any numbers (how DO you quantify a mouse bungee!?!). I set it up on my desk and played games, surfed and worked with it in place. I then tested the exact same things without the bungee after using it to see how I felt before and after. The bungee was tested over a period of a couple of weeks to ensure I gave it a fair go.
Â
Â
As you can see, the MB1 fits a mouse cord nicely in the grip of it’s two clips. It’s worth noting that the rear clip does let the cord go if you move the bungee a lot but really once you’ve set it up to your liking this shouldn’t be an issue.
Â
Test Results
Â
I found that once I had set up the bungee for use with a little bit of slack as shown it really did the trick and meant that I never lacked cable whilst gaming. I did find that sometimes if I moved my desk around or my mouse-mat around the rear cord became disconnected (as I said above), but this was easily rectified and never on one occasion did the orange top clip lose the cable, it was held firmly.
Â
The mouse bungee MB1 did exactly what it said it would do and helped me organise my mouse cable much better than before I had it. It’s solidly built and the weights in it are enough to weigh it down without being too heavy.
Â
Conclusion
Â
There’s not really a whole lot more to say about the Evo-G MB1 Mouse Bungee. It certainly helps you keep the cable in place and gives you enough slack not to get in a mess whilst gaming.
Â
Price and availability are an issue with the MB1 as it is currently only available in the US, priced at an RRP of $14.99Â @ Frozen CPU and Performance PC’s, both of whom ship to the UK at a reasonable price (if you’re willing to pay pnp). At that price I think it’s a good item to pop in your shopping basket, especially if you really get in a muddle with your mouse cables.
Â
Can I recommend the Mouse Bungee overall? Well, it’s hard to say due to limited UK availability and a very focused market, but if you can scoop one up I think it’s worth getting a Mouse Bungee to tidy those cables.
Â
The Evo-G MB1 Mouse Bungee gets a Recommended Award for being a nice addition to your desk.
