- I hate cable management so much. (sound of a driller) 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 (mumbles). No, no, I actually do still have to do this. (upbeat music) The first rule of cable management is of course, to clean everything up. We've got about an hour until WAN 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 an ordeal but they all did work. So, right. Of course, though for me, since part of the video is the Logitech sponsorship. I am actually going to be replacing, not just my keyboard but also my 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 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 'cause 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 perky 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, I have not actually intended to upgrade. It's already a G Pro Wireless but hey, the G Pro Wireless Superlight is here and.. Actually hold on a second. Does this feel like there's anything in here? - [David] Its superlight! - Does it actually feel like an empty box too though? - [David] Yeah, its a real box. - No, they told me it's in here. They told me its in, it's definitely in here. Okay, wow. Have you felt this thing yet? - [David] Yeah I did a Short Circuit on it. - Oh really, It is super light. It weighs in at just 63 grams, which is roughly the weight of two rechargeable AA 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, 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 PowerPlay is for the uninitiated. If you get one of these little wireless charging module (mumbles) jigs from Logitech, you pop that in your mouse. It comes as a kit and then you get one of these PowerPlay 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 flipping sick. I came up with the brilliant idea of putting a different mouse pad over top of it. Ah, I have revealed my secrets to you. I've been using that mouse pad for a long time. It was time to change it though. Oh, that actually lines up pretty nicely. You know what? I might go for the 30 mil LTT Northern lights desk pad for this. - [David] Where'd you get it from? - Lttstore.com. One of my worst offenders though isn't even the mouse and keyboard. It's my HD600 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 it gets 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 GoXLR. 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, 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 for 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've 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, 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 'cause I am planning to go, you know, one step above, like I wanna drill holes on the table and run like my PowerPlay cable into the table and then under the table. If I put it in the wrong spot then the ergonomics of this desk are gonna 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? - [David] Yeah, it sucks. - 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 display port cable that my wife needs for her station back to the server room from the back of this. So I just have like a rando long display port running here. Shit, I hate cable management so much. Why am I even doing this? 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? - [David] Yeah, drill away! - No time like the present, right? - [David] Yup. (sound of a driller) - Fortunately, this is a crappy particle board table - [David] Nice. - That worked out. Okay. Sweet. Now I just got to do that a bunch more times. Let's get the monitor back on the desk. 'Cause 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. (sound of a driller) 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? (chuckles) (mumbles) So we'll do like that length. This is a dull saw, and that's how the dinosaurs died out. All their backs broke. The point of these is the cables can kind of enter and exit anywhere you want at these little like (mumbles). This stuff honestly seems pretty useful. Just kinda 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 (mumbles) 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've got it from lttstore.com. Just dropped a power brick on the face. There we go, okay. That is strapped nice and tight. No. - [David] What did you do? - 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. - [David] Oh no, don't do that! (sound of a driller) - Shit! Think I hit it. Oh, I drilled into it a bit. This is fine, because I have a slightly larger spade bit. - [David] 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. 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. (sound of a driller) Okay, maybe I could-- - [David] Oooh, watch your fingers. (sound of a driller) - Okay. (sound of a driller) What did i just hit? Okay, well it clears it? We're calling 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 it the GoXLR. 'Cause I'm about to drill a big old hole here. (sound of a driller) Oh. Metal. Shit! Oh no, oh it's so close. We're going in at an angle. (sound of a driller) Oh, I thought I cracked the display. Oh - [David] Stop it! - I thought I had a grip on it. - [David] Oh. - No, wow. The display was stronger than the plastic from the drill came off. Okay, please tell me it's not cracked. I won't be able to tell them till I actually have an image. (David laughing) This thick boy XLR cable, here we go. Oh, it's so tight. Where's my drill, I'm widening it. We're going wider. Ouch. Okay. Come on. (laughing) I think that's funny, do you little one. This is what madness looks like. All the cable management, all the cable management (mumbles) I mean, it feels crazy to say it but are we there? Can you see any of these cables from the back there? - [David] From here 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. - [David] Hey. - Hey. This thing is really light. Wow. Holy crap. That is crazy. 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. 'Cause like some things.. Yeah some things need wire's look. Some things need wires, even wireless. It's all a lie because it has to charge somehow. Okay good you got my webcam feed now. All right, sick. 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. It needs a little bit vacuuming but I think you guys get the point. I'm gonna do that. We're gonna get WAN Show started and you guys can check out the links to where to get all of 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.
