This mechanical cord holder uses a weighted base and a flexible, spring-loaded arm to lift a peripheral's cable off the desk surface. By keeping the wire suspended, it prevents the cord from catching on desk edges or dragging across mousepads. Operators use them to make a wired mouse feel as unrestricted as a wireless one while maintaining a hardwired connection.
I had to grab a mouse bungee for the test bench because the cord kept catching on the oscilloscope probes.
