Hey guys, so I'm grabbing some more cable combs, and a newer pop filter for my mic, and I get free 1 day shipping with prime if I spend $25 CAD or more, and right now I'm at $23. What's a simple, cheap gadget or item you have on your desk that you love to use? I currently have on my desk

 

1. Large Mousepad

2. Headphone stand

3. Wireless phone charger

4. Boom arm

 

I like to keep my desk clean and modern looking, I have RGB lighting, but it's all white for a natural light, and I'm not crazy on weird shit like RGB cup holders, etc. I've considered a mouse bungee that I could tuck away behind my monitor kind of, but I'm open to suggestions for anything within the $10ish CAD range.

I got no desk specific ideas, other than I think mouse bungies are kind of a waste, but Amazon sells all kinds of stuff.  Does it have to go on your desk?

 

failing that if you like neatness USB cable holders can help clean things up sometimes.

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

 

Life is like a bowl of chocolates: there are all these little crinkly paper cups everywhere.

Yeah I figured so as well, and I'm super anal about my cables. Like too much so, but for the most part they're all nicely managed and invisible.

 


EDIT: It also does not have to be for my desk now

Socks then.  I love extra socks. :)

Heck Yeah! I love wearing a warm pair of itchy wool socks in the winter when I'm home. It makes me cozy. 

 

Here are some other suggestions:

 

- Tea ball (For loose leaf tea. Tea is better than soda when gaming, because it's energizing and healthy)

- Canned air to clean your stuff.

- Head massager to chillax when you're tilted

If you are anal about a clean desk maybe some good wire management for said desk. A under desk raceway or similar would be a cheap option for example.

 

I personally though normally just buy a flash drive. I feel like I never have enough flash drives lol.
