Razer Armadillo Mouse Management

I like my Razer Copperhead mouse. It even made me win a Quake 4 Deathmatch on a public server. Problem is, my super-sexy computer table is a bit too small, so the mouse cable (and every other cable to be accurate) hangs off the edge. This only causes a problem for using the mouse, as sometimes you end up tugging it to accommodate for the weight of the cable, or whatever other shit has managed to tug down on it since you connected it (anyone who's used a PC will know exactly what I mean).

So, Razer have come up with a solution for specifically this problem. Introducing the Razer Armadillo Mouse Management System. A little piece of metal that looks like a thimble, which houses your cable and lifts it off the table (to reduce friction). It is also heavy and is designed not to move around on the table, but can rotate 360 so as not to get in the way of those crucial 180-snaps you gotta do when you're deathmatching.

In other words, they've just created a little weight for the cable to stop it from tugging. Silly idea? total rip-off of people's money? gadget for the geeks? I think so. What's the point in spending £20 (includes VAT and P&P) on little more than a piece of heavy metal that stops your cable from tugging. I might as well just wrap the cable around the monitor base or something.

I'll give you a better review once mine arrives :p
