or similar products to keep their cords at bay? need a way to keep my mouse cord from snagging on the edge of my mousepad that hangs off the keyboard drawer....its damn annoying. i have it taped up onto the underside of my desk but thats not a very good option. do these allow good mobility of the cord? what im really looking for is something retractable i can slap up under there that will keep all the slack in place. a mouse bungee would be nice but it wouldnt fit under my desk.

seems rather expensive for something to hold a cord...

in short, no.

yeah, target sells them for like 5 bucks for 3. i just couldnt find a link to them on their website.

wireless mouse isn't an option because i have 3 logitech g500's that need to get used up eventually.

i like the idea, but the logitech cord has a gigantic thing on it that wont fit through it

You can take those metal parts of the clip off of the plastic by squeezing them together enough for it to come out of the slots. You would then be able to slip the cable in the open end of the metal part and squeeze it back into the slots on the plastic part.

Garbage bag ties...they come free by the dozens in every garbage pack you buy and work just as well as anything else.
