Replacement cords for mice

Unread postby ExiledOne » 01 Dec 2018 20:10

I noticed the cord on my Logitech G502 Proteus Spectrum is looking a little weathered in places. I was looking at buying another one (I really like the mouse) and found these:

Paraflex: https://paraflexcables.com/

Paracord (Ceesa): https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1NwKa8J ... 0VMZca9jg/

They're replacement cables for mice that are supposed to be more flexible and lightweight than either the rubber or braided cables mice producers usually use. And they come in a wide variety of colours.

Seems like an easy fix too: https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapcsales/ ... n/e5r1irw/

I believe the heatshrink is included.

There's a video too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptUb0L38DuE

I guess the mouse in the video is the 'Ultralight'. I prefer heavier mice which is why I went with the G502 (you can add weights to it to make it heavier and by default it's already a bit on the heavy side).
