Reply to comment by 5spd4wd in WIRED computer mouse. I'm particularly interested in one with a cable that will not fray. They seem to fray very shortly after I get them. I want the cable to be like a quarter of an inch thick. I don't care if the thing weighs 5 lbs. My budget is $200. by TheJawsofIce

Braided mesh cable cover is what they mean.

I think it's like a nylon. But I am not 100% sure. I know it's not metal.

Edit: looked again, seems like more of a polyester.

I've had bad luck with that type of cable.

It really does depend on the brand and quality. My logitech mice have been great, but I have had cheap braided cables thet get weird.

I tried a couple as as charging cables and they frayed and pulled away at the ends. Went back to OEM cables. So I wouldn't want a mouse with one.

I have never had an issue like that with a Logitech mouse, but I get the concern.
