Best Mouse Bungee For Gaming – Our Top Picks of 2022
The mouse bungee is a peripheral you never knew you needed, let's find the best!
As weird as their name suggests, a mouse bungee is simply a weight that supports the cable that comes out of the mouse you use. For anyone who plays PC games with a wired gaming mouse (especially competitive FPS or MOBA) will understand the issues with cable drag. Well, with one of the best mouse bungees it removes these issues by taking the weight of the cable and providing a weightless movement for the mouse. Basically, when you use a decent mouse bungee, a wired mouse becomes a wireless mouse or at least as close as can be (trust me, I know, I’ve tested enough mice).
In this article, I will discuss the benefits of a mouse bungee and also provide a few recommendations from mouse bungees I’ve actually bought and tested to assist you in finding the best mouse bungee on the market. If you are serious about gaming and don’t have a wireless gaming mouse, then a mouse bungee is the next best thing.

In-depth Review
Razer Gaming Mouse Bungee v2
Razer Gaming Mouse Bungee v2
The Razer mouse bungee is one of the more affordable premium bungees we have tested and whilst there are cheaper alternatives, some of which are Chinese replicas, we still recommend the Razer mouse bungee simply because of the quality control.
The Razer mouse bungee has a minimalist design, surprisingly Razer hasn’t thrown on a load of RGB lighting, ultimately I think that decision comes down to necessity and pricing. The bungee feels solid, when placed on the desk it’s sturdy and the design looks well thought out, the top cable clip is made of hard rubber and is attached to a large metal spring that directs the cable to the ground clip. Initially, I found the top clip to be quite rigid, but once I prised the rubber clip open I found swapping from one mouse to another quite easy and having various cable diameters and materials not an issue. To be honest, the biggest issue came down to how the actual gaming mouse had been packaged, some which had the cable simply wrapped up had rigid bends which meant I needed to try and iron out the kinks so I could easily clip it into the bungee, not an issue with the Razer bungee but food for thought.
I’ve tested the Razer bungee with more than 20 gaming mice of various shapes and sizes and found no issues so far, so I am confident that it works well. Ultimately, for such a low price I feel the Razer bungee to be a good purchase for those who want to eliminate cable drag and have a ‘wireless feeling wired mouse’ for gaming.
BenQ Zowie CAMADE II
BenQ Zowie CAMADE II
The BenQ-Zowie Camade is perhaps the most aesthetically pleasing bungee we tested. It sits on the desk nicely and for people considering spending the extra pennies, this has to be considered. For those gamers who are partial to a good flick shot but limited by the cable getting caught on everything, It’s sturdy design can give you confidence when making large swipes/flicks.
You get what you pay for, of course, and this bungee is at the higher end of the price scale for a reason, its build quality. It may seem risky parting with that extra cash but it’s one of the best bungees I have used and is ideal for arm aimers who are after the ‘wireless’ experience!
The Zowie Camades design is simple like most bungees but it is visually unique. BenQ-Zowie has nailed how this bungee looks and you can see before using it that it would be in the higher price bracket. Its high-quality build and heavyweight give gamers a more consistent and reliable product which is shown by the amount of FPS gamers using this bungee at the moment. Our verdict is to buy this mouse bungee as it not only looks the part on any desk but it fits all your needs whilst playing
CASETHRONE RGB Pro
CASETHRONE RGB Pro
The Casethrone mouse bungee was the middle ground in terms of price out of the bungees we tested, its value for money was excellent as it provided the same functionality as the higher-end bungees. The main selling point behind the Casethrone RGB Pro is, of course, its lighting, something that isn’t often thought of when it comes to mouse bungees but why not ey.
The Casethrone mouse bungee is simple in design and looks similar in a few ways to the BenQ Camade bungee but that is where the similarities end. Even though it’s probably the right choice for gamers looking to save money, it does come with a few teething problems. Firstly it has a stable base but it weighs quite a bit less than the more expensive BenQ model, making it more likely to move. That being said it’s more of an issue for low-sensitivity gamers as the big swipes will wobble the base of the bungee. Another issue is the rubber grip designed to hold the mouse wire. On the Casethrone bungee model, they use cheap slippery plastic to hold the wire, so the user will have to readjust the wire every so often while playing.
Whether you are a casual PC user or a hardcore gamer, this mouse bungee is perfect for anyone looking to remove cable drag with the added benefit of some illumination. However, it is worth noting that the clip was more effective with braided or thicker cabled mice.
