JasonH 47 Posted May 10, 2020 Guys, I'm not saying I'm a genius, but I don't want to rule out the possibility As could be seen in my setup video on BBT YouTube, my cable management was nonexistent. Today my life changed forever when I started using the clamps from my monitor stands to hide the cables. Figured I share since a lot of you have similar setups! Â Before: (it was actually much worse with 3 more power strips to the side and at least a dozen more cables could be visible going across the top of the couch arm) After: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Justin 262 Posted May 10, 2020 I'm glad my video inspired you Jk jk! But you've earned my like on your video! I'm obsessed with cable management. I can barely stand the cables from my keyboard and mouse, but I won't go wireless for trading. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have you had bad experiences with wireless devices? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have you had bad experiences with wireless devices? $1000 mistake early last year. Brand new Logitech G915.... Never again. Running the wired version now, G815.

jonosg 11 Posted May 11, 2020 (edited) Wired all the way - I use my backup machine to connect to the chat room, email etc during trading - that has a wireless keyboard and mouse but not my main PC. I've had wireless stuff disconnect on me enough times to not use them for anything critical, I had a mouse go down during a counter strike clan final match years ago and we lost!. plus 2 to 3 second delay to reconnect is enough to cost $ at the open if you trade like Andrew. I'm not OCD about it, I route everything behind the monitors, under the desk or behind the shelf that the computer sits on, I can live with keyboard, mic, streamdeck,, mouse leads on the desk. I do keep all cables neat and I do label both ends, primarily so it's not a massive undertaking and detangling session to replace something Ethernet cabling can be especially painful if it's not labelled. A few bucks on some cable ties is all you need and perhaps a cable track under the desk job done. You could even drill some holes in your desk so you can't see the wires..... lol Edited May 11, 2020 by jonosg 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
