Hiding keyboard and mouse cables proves challenging for many PC enthusiasts, even after they’vetidied up other cords.
While some suggestwireless alternatives, I understand they aren’t the solution for everyone.
Rest assured, I’ve compiled the six best methods to manage these cables, ensuring your setup remains aesthetically pleasing.
Tie Both the Cables and Run Them Straight
This method doesn’t actually hide the cables. But yes, you will only have one cable running over your table instead of two. Seems organized, right?
To do it,grab both cables and use zip ties or Velcro to fasten them. Once roped together, pass the single cable to the back of your desk or the grommet hole on the tabletop.
Pass the cord straight to make it look better. You may also sleeve it for better aesthetics.
If you don’t prefer this setup, I have one more option—pass each cable through the base of the monitor stand.
As you may see, I have passed my keyboard cable through the left side of the monitor stand and the mouse cable from the right.
Hide Cables Under the Table-top Cloth
I often prefer laying a cloth on my tabletop toprevent dust buildup. If you have a similar preference, the same cloth can help you hide the keyboard and mouse cable.
First, measure your desk size and get a suitable size table-top cloth. Then,make small holes in the cloth to let the cables pass.
I recommend making holes for the keyboard and mouse individually. Do it such that the holes are not too far from the devices.
But what about the cable bulge under the cloth?
This is where upholstering comes into action. If you are new to this term, it simply meansstitching a layer of padded covering or foam underneath the cloth.
