Why we like it
Chroma RGB lights the base. An adjustable spring arm is unique to it among these picks, while the MB1 uses a height-adjustable arm. Chroma RGB extras is unique to it among these picks, while the MB1 uses anti-slip feet extras.
A bungee helps only with a wired mouse; if you plan to go wireless, the Bungee V3 Chroma will sit idle. Before buying, weigh one limit: costs more than the Pulsar Micro Bungee at the time of writing. At our last price check it topped the group, with the SteelSeries bungee the nearest cheaper option. If you want a confirmed weight, look to the SteelSeries bungee instead: it weighs 263g, while this one gives no figure.

Skip if

Why we like it
The 7 oz base sits on rubber feet. A flexible rubber clip holds the cable in three positions to remove drag. It is compact enough for most desks.
It measures about 2.5 by 3.8 inches, so it fits most desks. A bungee helps only with a wired mouse; if you plan to go wireless, the Sisyphy will sit idle. Worth noting too: rubber footing.
The nearest alternative on weight is the SteelSeries bungee at 263g, against 198g here. Before buying, weigh one limit: costs more than the Pulsar Micro Bungee at the time of writing.

Why we like it
It is the heaviest here. A rubber clip holds different cable sizes, and a weighted base with rubber feet keeps it steady. You get a weighted base here, which sets it apart from the MB1 and its a clamp base.

What to Look for in a Mouse Bungee
Key buying criteria so you get the right fit the first time.
Worth it only for wired mice
A bungee holds the cable up so it does not drag on the pad. Braided or stiff cables benefit most.
Weighted, adhesive or clamp base
Weighted bases can move around the desk. Adhesive bases stay put but are fixed. Clamps sit at the edge.
Spring arm height
The arm should hold the cable just above the pad. Adjustable arms suit different desk layouts.
Place it behind and to the side
Most players place it behind the mouse pad, slightly toward the monitor, so the cable has slack.
Footprint
Compact bungees fit between keyboard and pad; larger ones add USB ports or lights.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are adhesive bungees permanent?
They are meant to stay. Some packs include spare adhesive for moving it once.
Where do I put a mouse bungee?
Behind the pad and slightly toward the screen, with a little slack in the cable.
Do I need a mouse bungee?
Only with a wired mouse whose cable drags or snags. Lightweight paracord-style cables need it less.
Does a bungee help a wireless mouse?
Only when charging it with a cable while you play.
Does it work with thick cables?
Most clips hold standard gaming cables. Check the grip if your cable is unusually thick.
Bottom Line
Razer's Bungee V3 Chroma is the pick for an adjustable arm on a weighted base. Pulsar's Micro Bungee ES stays fixed with adhesive, and Sisyphy's arm extends furthest.
