Zowie/Sensei and Revel 310 vs Paracord cable

Am i the only one that thinks zowie and new 310 mice from SteelSeries have the best cables on the market, even better than paracord? Actually paracord drived me so crazy that forced myself to buy g703.

I can't really explain the reasons as my english is barely enough to formulate simple questions but it seems like my mouse movement plus paracord flexibility makes it worse than braided cable drag: when i stop moving it's like paracord continues moving with inertia or something like that, plus it will often get stuck with whatever i have on the table, even with the mousepad itself

Using a mouse bungee makes things even worse... meanwhile i find the rubber cables used on Zowie and now on newest SteelSeries mice to the best, they will hold in place without impacting flexibility.
Just me? I think i'm going to mod my Revel with an used zowie cable if it's compatible, then gift paracord to someone else who likes it

They aren't better than a para cord, not by a long shot but they are good enough for me to not be able to justify the cost of a para cable along with replacement feet. zowie and steelseries have been on point when it comes to cables and it seems to be the only thing razer can get right consistently.

lol no.

Paracord = no bungee need. Just let it lay flat, nothing beats it.

Sensei 310 cable is ok, but it is no where NEAR a paracord.

I do not feel anything from a paracord, it is wireless to me.
And I got 4 paracords.

Using a regular cable is just garbage, like the Sensei 310 I am using atm, horrible with the heavy cable.

Can't say all Zowie, FK1+ cable sucks.

I really wonder about your opinion and statements to my cables only from watching the video...

As you already posted in a different thread you don't even have a paracord cable from me.

And I will quote my opinion like in the pm I sent you about your solution:

hmm, I think it will take much from the flexibility if you have the wires interlaced like that.

I think a real benefit with my cables is, that the 4 inner wires are more less free or parallel to each other.

The paracord gives the enough space to bend without holding each other.
What inner wires do you use for your "ultra-light bare-braided wires"?
