How do you cable manage?

[Crunken]

How do you guys cable manage your peripherals? do you just have them across the desk or anything special? right now i got a hole in my desk for keyboard wire but my mouse is just across the desk which doesn't look super clean and sometimes the cable falls down behind the desk and becomes too short (need to buy the little things that holds the wire xd) and my headset cable come up from under my desk

I have some little velcro straps that I use to keep my keyboard and mouse extender (mouse is wireless) cables together. My headset is wireless, so I just plug the dongle into the back of my PC.

I got a blue yeti so no worries about mic, i'll have to look into audio quality/delay (if there is any, never had a pair of wireless headphones)

Good wireless headphones shouldn't be too hard to find. You could just pick up a wireless headset and mute the microphone.

I drilled a hole in the middle of my desk and put all my wires through that, including for the monitor and speakers. This only works because my desk has two pieces that pull apart like on tables where you can insert a middle piece to make it larger.

I got most of my cables off the floor and pretty much off my desk by hanging my monitors on the wall (actually, on a frame that bridges and inconveniently located window), then hanging the cables on the monitor arms, on hooks on the wall, and by also hanging the power strip on the wall.

Bought a 5 meters of velcro strap for good and hide the rear cables on the edge of my desk

I mostly use short, thin double-sided Velcro strips to secure cables and bundle cables together although sometimes I also use strips of gaffers tape. I sometimes shortened the Velcro straps and, occasionally, spliced them together to make a longer strap. I often cut off the end with the slot in it since I found using it to be more of a nuisance than an aid.

 

I've found that plugging in Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or mouse dongles, directly into a rear I/O USB port would result in the signal to and from the dongles getting blocked by the metal of the case. I had to use USB extensions or front I/O USB ports.

Going wireless for my headset and mouse helped a lot.
