i hate cable management so much
oh dear wires thick or thin you've been with me since
the beginning i watched you grow from kilobits to megabits then finally into
gigabits sweet sweet gigabits
but the world is changing and i feel it's time to admit i've been seeing
someone else logitech the sponsor of this video
wishes to remove my copper bindings freeing me forever from tangled feet
knocking over my drinks and wait
who am i kidding i have always hated you wires i've just been too lazy to dump
your ass that is until now
no no i actually do still have to do this
the first rule of cable management is of course to clean everything up we've got
about an hour until when show so you're gonna see the speed version of that we're
gonna be unplugging everything moving stuff around so now is a great time to
declutter the workspace and clean my desk and peripherals if i was a lazy boy
i could just toss my keyboard into the dishwasher like we did you guys can go
check that video out i don't think anyone's gonna warranty your keyboard
after it's been through such uh an ordeal but they all did work so
of course though for me since part of the video is the logitech sponsorship
i'm actually going to be replacing not just my keyboard but also my mouse mouse
pad and even my headphones we're starting of course with the g915
tkl i've been enamored with this one ever since my unboxing over on short
circuit it uses logitech's lightspeed technology that means that it performs
as well as a wired device or better it uses their gl switches that are
available in two different configurations there's a clicky one and
there's a tactile one personally i prefer the tactile one just because i
don't want anything to get picked up in my microphone but both of them share the
characteristics that they're both fast and accurate at half of the height of
normal key switches making the entire keyboard as logitech puts it impossibly
thin there's per key RGB media buttons a scroll wheel and it gets
40 hours of battery life and unlike my old keyboard look how much more space
i'm gonna have i'm finally going 10 keyless i'm ready to give up my number
pad because quite honestly i almost never do work at home anymore
now my mouse um i had not actually
intended to upgrade it's already a g pro
wireless but hey the g pro wireless super light
is here and actually hold on a second
does this feel like there's anything up here
super light does it actually feel like an empty box
to you though no they told me it's in here they told me it's it it's
definitely in here okay wow have you felt this thing yet yeah it
did a ShortCircuit on it oh really it is super light it weighs in at just 63
grams which is roughly the weight of two rechargeable double a batteries it has
much larger slippy pads compared to the regular g pro wireless you get 70 hours
on a single charge and all it costs you is giving up your RGB which
i don't know man the g pro is already pretty light all right you know what
i'm gonna give it a try i guess i should sort of explain what power play is for
the uninitiated if you get one of these little wireless charging module my jigs
from logitech you pop that in your mouse it comes as a kit and then you get one
of these power play mats it actually comes with either a cloth or a hard
surface that goes on top of it the idea is that your mouse charges continuously
while you're using it and you never have to remember to charge it which is pretty
flippin sick i came up with the
brilliant idea of putting a different mouse pad over top of it
i have revealed my secrets to you i've been using that mousepad for a long
time it was time to time to change it out oh that actually lines up pretty
nicely you know what i might go for the 30 mil LTT northern
lights desk pad for this
lttstore.com one of my worst defenders though isn't even the mouse and keyboard
it's my hd 600 headphones they come with this super crazy long wire like it
actually goes all the way wrapping around the table in the back
and stuff and there's this much left and i have
never bothered to replace it and i constantly get tangled on it and
actually get stuck in my chair super annoying now i might end up still
needing these for monitoring my stream because to my knowledge there's no way
to plug a usb headphone into the go xlr
but at least for gaming it would be nice to not have to deal with them so that's
where the pro x wireless headset comes in it uses logitech's same lightspeed
wireless interface it's got 50 millimeter drivers rated for 20 hours of
use at a time 15 meters of range which given that i will never be going any
further than here from my desk should be fine just fine and perhaps most
importantly for me they have completely redesigned the fit compared to other
logitech gaming headsets and it's like
man these are cushy and comfortable now and they've got blue voice mic filters
so you can reduce noise add compression cool stuff like that that's new since
logitech's acquisition of blue a little while back of course you might have
noticed in all of this that my desk has not gotten significantly tidier the cold
hard truth is that there are still a lot of things that just can't go without
cables you got your monitor you got your streaming gear you got your audio gear
uh Thunderbolt so what about those wires
time to manage them in one hour
all right let's go my biggest worry is not that in my hurry i will do a bad job
but in my hurry i will make horrible horrible mistakes because i am planning
to go you know one step above like i want to drill holes in the table and run
like my power play cable into the table and then under the table if i put it in
the wrong spot then the ergonomics of this desk are going to be bad forever
when's the last time i even used speakers but then i rest my feet on my
subwoofer really get rid of them yeah good stuff this thing has served me so well for so
many years though i'm getting sentimental about a subwoofer do you
know how much comfort my feet have gotten from sitting on this i'm just
noticing that there are one two
three power cables down here that are not
plugged into anything what is this i never ran the displayport cable that
my wife needs for her station um
back to the server room from the back of this so i just have like a rando long display
port running here oh shoot
i hate cable management so much
why am i even doing this ah
oh i'm gonna be so dirty
there's blown cellulose everywhere david it's everywhere
it's the first time i had to go out into it look how they massacred my boy
look at that we finally got the plate on the wall the
way it's supposed to be like it's supposed to wait i knocked over all my cable
management stuff
i should just call this video Linus falling apart for 15 minutes
should i just start drilling holes in the desk yeah
throw away no time like the present right
fortunately this is a crappy particle board table
that worked out okay
sweet now i just gotta do that a bunch more
times let's get the monitor back on the desk because i can't even like i can't
even visualize where everything needs to go until i got the monitor let's go
another hole right there
and we'll run everything through that
i actually cannot believe that i am drilling holes in my desk
how does this track work what do you do with all the bricks
okay so we'll do like
that length this is a dull saw
and that's how the dinosaurs died out
all their backs broke all right the point of these
is the cables can kind of enter and exit anywhere you want at these little like
gaparoos this stuff honestly seems
pretty useful i'm just kind of
taking some of my cables and stuffing them up in here one of the
little life hacks that i've tried to use a number of times over the years but not
with much success is hot gluing power bricks to the bottom
side of your table i've found that even if you use like the
industrial strength hot glue it just doesn't hold
so having some kind of like
race or bracket or something on the bottom of the table and then cable tying
the power brick to it that's the only way that i've had success ah this cable
tie ripped should have got it from lttstore.com
just dropped a power brick on my face
there we go okay that is strapped nice and tight
no oh
i started drilling and that's right where my stupid
power bar that i just locked in place is
i think only one way to find out oh no
don't do that
shout i think i hit it oh i drilled into it a
bit this is fine because i have a slightly larger spade
bit great the problem is that when you've already
drilled a hole with a different spade bit using another spade bit to enlarge
it not a great experience oh wow i just i can't hold it steady
uh okay you know what
am i better off going from the bottom or from the top
from the bottom there's gonna be like an exit wound
but from the top this thing could walk all over the place
okay i'm going top down i'm going top down here we go
um okay maybe i could
okay
what did i just hit okay well it clears it recalling that good for the mount for
my usb hub and i get to put all of my wireless
accessory dongles in it
what am i rolling over you know what it doesn't matter
now where do i want the go xlr because i'm about to drill a big old hole here
oh
metal shoot
oh no oh it's so close
we're going in at an angle
oh i thought i cracked the display
stop it i thought i had a grip on it
no wow the display was stronger than the
the plastic from the drill came off okay please tell me it's not cracked i won't
be able to tell until i actually have an image
this thick boy xlr cable here we go oh
it's so tight uh where's my drill
i'm widening it we're going wider
ouch
okay come on
i think that's funny do you little one
this is what madness looks like all the cable management
all the cable management will be right foot liners
i mean it feels crazy to say it but are we there can you see any of these cables
from back there no hey well that is the goal isn't it
no offense dyson but this is a job for a real man's vacuum
with leopard print now we find out if i cracked my monitor
panel or at least we should
i never actually turned the computer off did i oh i did
oh okay i thought it was supposed to be working right now this is working now
hey this thing is really light wow
holy crap
that is crazy
uh okay man it's almost like unnerving
hold on i haven't tried these yet are these just gonna like straight up
work for me here how cool would that be
pro x wireless gaming headset
just flipping works
man wireless technology has come a long
freaking way all right discord it involved drilling many holes
in my desk um because like some things yeah some
things need wires luke some things need wires even wireless
it's all a lie because it has to charge somehow
uh okay good you got my webcam feed now all right sick let's uh let's do wan
show real quick styles here shall we
okay but first big thank you to you guys for watching
big thank you to logitech for sponsoring this video i think that the before and after kind
of tells the whole story here that looks so much better needs a little bit more
vacuuming but i think you guys get the point i'm going to do that we're going
to get WAN Show started and you guys can check out the links to where to get all
this good logitech wireless goodness
down in the video description oh yeah if you didn't get it for
christmas now's the time i need water lttstore.com
