    I've got a:

    mousepad (powerplay)
    kb
    phone/controller charging cable connected to the kb
    bt reciever (via monitor's usb hub)
    usb dac
    usb mic
    usb docking station for two drives
    usb dvd drive
    printer

    with my ethernet and two monitors connected it's just impossible to keep it tidy

    turbo charging does not result in less charge than trickle charging, any turbo charger worth a damn trickles the last bits when temperatures hit 40-45c

    Mouse,
    keyboard,
    joystick,
    throttle,
    Xbox One controller,
    bluetooth receiver,
    Quest 2,
    USB mono headset for voice,
    webcam,
    2 port USB hub in monitor connecting to 4 port USB hub (I use this hub to connect a second mouse and my keyboard (that I just unplug at its back and plug in to another usb cord) as well as the webcam and headset to my laptop for work when working at home),
    steering wheel with pedals.

    I could just unplug the wheel and sticks, but why bother... it's not like they consume vast amounts of resources plugged in.

    I have it pretty tidy. And this was before I further cleaned up some of the cable clutter at the back. Under the table everything is kept up in a pair of cable trays that are screwed in to the underside. I also have a 10 plug outlet stuck on there to avoid any power cables and bricks sitting on the floor.
