I just got a new g400s as a replacement for my dying g9x from logitech and I'm a little nervous about using it as I don't want to fuck up the cord. Right now I've got it so that there's basically only the minimum amount of cord I need to cover the distance of my mousepad moving. Should I do anything to the area where the cord connects to the mouse itself? I've read that some people apply hot glue there to keep that portion of the cord from moving. I play on a low sensitivity and do a lot of jump maps, so I'm worried that that jerking motion may damage the cord. All advice is appreciated.

pull enough slack onto your desk so you will 100% for sure never need more than you've allotted yourself, then put a weight on the cord so it doesnt just fall back down off the desk. its worked for my mx518 for years. alternatively, go buy a mouse cord clip if you wanna spend $

Went through 2 518s' in 2 years. Bought a third one, taped the cord down, on year 4 now. 10/10 would recommend.

To make sure I'm clear, I'm taping down the left over cord so only the slack moves? And thanks for the replies guys

Yes, pull your mouse to the far corner from where your PC is/where your cable comes from. Pull the cord out a bit more, then tape at the edge of your desk. The idea is you are never creating any tension where the cable goes into the mouse, and where the cable goes into the usb connector.
