Flexible micro USB cable for mouse

I bought the Logitech G700s a few years ago and always hated the cable. It's way too thick, stiff and heavy, and would kind of snag on my monitor mount. I replace it with an Anker braided cable which is a bit better, but not as flexible as I was hoping. Anyone know of any worthwhile cables that are flexible? Most I've seen have either PVC coatings, or rather thick silicone, both of which don't flex very much. Trying to find good options online doesn't exactly show how flexible cables are.

As a different solution because i don't really know any cables that you are looking for, why not use a cable bungee?

Because cable bungees are stupid and that's just more crap on my desk. It wouldn't make the cable any less stiff.

Cute. Like I don't know what the fuck Google is, or like I didn't mention that in the beginning.

Thanks for being as useful as a fart in a divers helmet.

Let me quote something for you:

Doesn't that give the impression that I've done exactly what I typed and said I did?

Wel the flexibility of a cable is not something that is rated as say, the curvature of a monitor so the best thing is looking for a thin cable and that is only possible by looking at pictures or looking at cables that are not mentioned for charging as they need more current and thus are thicker and more rigid

 

But what i have notices is that the charge cable of the play and charge kit for the xbox one is thin and flexible but as you mentioned does have that pvc coating in stead of braided. The cable of Razer is thin flexible and braided but the connection point is Micro usb with a insertion glider.

 

Belkin Duratek Micro-USB Cabel Zilver 1.2m seems to be your best bet but i don't know the distance between the computer and your mouse.

Or just an off brand cheap cable, those are usually not that rigid.
