Like many of you, I have a decent amount of systems. Unfortunately, this means I always have a mess of cords. I don’t enjoy unplugging and replugging stuff to move it around (not to mention it’s hard on the ports) so I usually leave everything attached. But I pretty much always have a mess of cords, just from controllers alone.

This is probably unavoidable. I was thinking of getting some commercial shelving like I’ve seen some people have so at least every console can have room on it’s own shelf, rather than being squeezed together on a desk like I have them now.

    The solution then was to wrap the cord around the controller when you were done playing. Given the age of some of these systems that’s probably not the best idea anymore.

    Maybe some kind of box big enough to hold the controller and coiling the cord inside without overly stressing it? Meaning one box per controller.

      Ive cringed at that my whole life because people GRIP IT and wrap it with no stress relief at all! I always made sure to do it properly. But yes, with the age if these I dont wrap cords anymore.
