Here's a comparison of mouse bungees. The video has all of the details, but if you want the written notes, and close-up images then check below.
Notes:
- Prices (when I purchased the devices)
- $37 for Roccat Apuri
- $21 for Tt eSports Galeru
- $20 for Razer Mouse Bungee
- $17 for CM Storm Skorpion
- Appearance
- Razer: simple; Galeru: simple (somewhat ugly); Skorpion: exotic; Apuri: exotic.
- Volume
- Razer: small. Galeru: small. Skorpion: medium. Apuri: medium.
- Mobility
- Razer: low. Galeru: high (great for storing in backpacks). Skorpion: medium (legs can be removed, although I wish they collapsed instead). Apuri: low.
- Weight
- Razer: medium. Galeru: heaviest. Skorpion: medium. Apuri: light.
- Assembly
- All are easy to assemble, only the Galeru requires assembly.
- Setup with Mouse
- Razer: by far the hardest, it supports medium and small mouse cords. It can damage thick cables.
- Galeru: medium, supports thick and medium cords. I doubt thin cords would be held in place.
- Skorpion: easy, supports thick, medium and small cords. Likely to be the best at holding cables.
- Apuri: easy, supports thick, medium and small cords.
- Base
- Razer: strong grip due to gummy/glue base. It may deteriorate over time due to dust accumulation.
- Galeru: medium grip.
- Skorpion: it has three legs with tiny pads, but it seems to be about a medium grip.
- Apuri: it has three legs with circular pads, and it seems to have a loose grip.
- All will be ok when using a mouse.
- Bungee
- Razer: flexible using springs. Galeru: flexing using thin rubber. Skorpion: flexible using thick rubber. Apuri: flexible using medium rubber.
- All will degrade over time, and I feel that the Skorpion's thick bungee will last longer than the Galeru and Apuri ones.
- Performance
- Razer: could not test. The performance of the other bungees were very good.
- Other features:
- Razer: none.
- Galeru: marketed "weight adjustor" (which I did not find).
- Skorpion: none.
- Apuri: USB 2.0 hub, ambient lights (adapter included).
- I wish:
- That the legs of the Skorpion and Apuri collapsed to improve their mobility.
- Overall
- Razer: would not recommend.
- Galeru: great for LAN parties (ie mobile people).
- Skorpion: great for at home.
- Apuri: great for at home if you need a USB hub and want a cool blue LED illumination.
