Posted February 10, 2016 Hey guys, I recently bought the G502 Proteus Core (not spectrum) and I am running into issues with the cable. I cannot straighten it and the worst place is just before entering the mouse. I am using it on a laptop, so the cable is behind it. Please give me advice on how to straighten it.

Posted February 10, 2016 Just now, Enderman said: bend it the opposite way? no i think he means the braded-ness has opened up and there is more rubber than braid braid | | \ | \ <--- cable | / | / | / / Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted February 10, 2016 id try hanging it and leaving the mouse to dangle, it looks like it was pinched though which will probably be a bitch to fix. Try what I said if it doesn't fix it return/rma it.

Posted February 10, 2016 though going though logitech will probably be better then if you got this at something like best buy who will turn their noses up at such a "minor" issue most likely since the people they staff their dont know jack shit about the products. I had a best buy employee argue with me I caused damage to my logitech headphones cause the ear cups laid flat (like every high end headphone ever) and she was convinced I broke it and it shouldnt of been doing that.

Posted February 10, 2016 Author pinched in the packaging I mean. Not between 2 fingers. Yeah, it was. Damn it. Alright, I hung it on a wall mounted guitar stand and put all the weights in.

RMA is the way obviously Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you fiddle with the cable it does work i have the same issue and if you pull and push the cable right where the usb port is i got mine to work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted February 3, 2021 All I can say, don't use a Mouse with a braided cable. Best to use a Standard USB Mouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Braided cables are nothing like paracord which are much better. But standard braid should never be used on mice, its a downgrade over rubber.
