Try to cover it with plastic (you can make a cylinder cover from a small piece of plastic with glue - can be done easily, no extra Einstein-knowledge needed). But I recommend using wireless mouse next time.  O0

Just put some decent tape over it and it'll be fine.

Yes do this so you can replace the batteries all the time and have it die when you're in the middle of something. :like: :ccmas:

There is not enough plastic on the one side for the tape to hold on. idk im thinking of getting heat shrinking plastic and try it with that

Pull the cord cover back to the mouse and superglue it back, I don't think tape or heat shrink will help if the mouse falls or something and hangs by the cord - all the force will be on the small wires and not on the cord itself cover so it might snap them

It's called a braided cable.

Try taking it apart and see if you can pull enough of the cable back into the mouse so that the hole is gripping onto the braided part of the cable maybe? http://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/4864/sharkoon_darkglider_laser_gaming_mouse_review/index6.html

Just open the mouse with a screwdriver, put back the cable in the right place, add something like MSeal or any adhesive to make it stays in its place and then assemble the mouse back.

You're done  :like:

I don't recommend doing this if you don't know how to assemble it back.
