It's like having no wired mouse cable! ELECOM "Cable Lift" makes it look like a wireless mouse!

A mouse is, of course, an essential device when operating a PC, not to mention games. Although a laptop PC can operate the cursor with a touchpad, I feel that the ease and efficiency of operation cannot be compared to using a mouse. Hence, there are so many products and so many options to choose from, such as wired/wireless, symmetrical/asymmetrical, multi-button/simple design, glowing/non-glowing, etc., according to your preference and usage. A long time ago, wireless mice had some problems with latency, but nowadays they are almost as good as a wired mouse. However, there are still many people who prefer a wired mouse because of the fine feeling it provides. The lack of a battery also makes it lightweight. The biggest challenge for such wired mouse users is handling cables, and many of them probably use cable bungees to keep cables out of the way. ELECOM, which produces a number of gaming devices such as mice and keyboards, has released a new product, the Cable Bungee, and this time we would like to introduce the Cable Lift, which comes as a set with the Cable Bungee!

It floats the root of the cable and makes it look like a wireless device!

Many of today's wired mouse cables are made of flexible, low-friction materials, but even so, resistance caused by the cable touching the mouse pad or table and cable tangling can still be a concern. Using a cable bungee to float the mouse cable and reduce resistance can greatly improve operability, but there is a small blind spot. Is the root of the cable on the side of the mouse touching the mouse pad or table? If you try to wire the cable bungee so that the root of the cable does not touch the table or mouse pad, the cable will become taut and affect the operation of the mouse. ELECOM has released " Cable Lift " to put an end to such problems!

By attaching it to the root of the cable on the wired mouse side, the cable floats upward, eliminating the ground contact surface with the mouse pad or table, maximizing the effect of the cable bungee and making the operation feel as if it were a wireless mouse! It is difficult to describe in words how much cable interference is eliminated by attaching the "Cable Lift", so the official Twitter (@ELECOMGAMING_PR ) of ELECOM GAMING has asked the following questions to see how much difference there is in cable movement without the "Cable Lift" and with it. The video shows how much difference there is in the movement of the cables without and with the "Cable Lift".

It is obvious at a glance. However! The feel of a mouse is almost always subjective, so you won't know until you actually use it! The "Cable Lift" is now available as a set with the newly released ELECOM Cable Bungee! Available in black and white and priced at 2,490 yen (tax included ), it can be purchased at the ELECOM Direct Shop Rakuten Ichiba Store.

The "Cable Lift" is most effective when used in combination with the Cable Bungee, so if you don't have a Cable Bungee, this is the one for you, but... some of you already have a Cable Bungee, right? For those who already have a cable bungee, ELECOM is now selling the "Cable Lift" as a stand-alone product!
