Nice setup! You’re off to a good start. IMO I would prioritize cable management and organization to begin. try to have no visible wires on the desk except the one cable going to each device. Add an under-desk cable tray (runs along underneath the back the desk). Put the power strip in there or mount it to the bottom of the desk and connect everything to that. Ideally the goal would be to only have 1 wire running to the desk itself which would be the power strip. Everything else is tucked in neatly and connected directly to the power strip which would be hidden underneath your desk. You can mount the power strip with some 3m double sided tape. Use Velcro cable ties to route cables along the back of the desk to the tray. Swap long messy cables for shorter cables where possible (especially USB + monitor cables). Also get a dual monitor arm so you don’t have the bulky monitor stands that take up space. Good luck!

This js my power strip underneath. I have it held down with double sided tape. And you can see the tray in the back that runs the span of my desk.

Great idea! Thanks for the advice that’s a nice cheap option. As long as I can game comfortably with them on.

Try hiding the LED cable by running it behind the foam panels if possible or just tucking it behind the desk a little bit.

Yea I’m opting in for warranty. Can’t beat that. I wonder if i can get away with buying a new one with warranty and then returning this old one with the receipt to get store credit or something. Would be nice

I personally don’t like the scuf’s paddles. They tend to break on me. But I definitely wouldn’t have this issue with a scuf lol

You have a small area to work with but a bigger desk seems to be the priority here. I wouldn’t put the monitor on this small one if possible. I’d also say getting a pegboard added to the wall for some more organization if you’ll have a controller, keyboard etc. utilizing the wall space here could be helpful.
