Thanks so much for trying these out! Always enjoy getting honest feedback :) - LS
It's always more fun to review a product you actually like! Just for the sake of our channel, what chair are you currently sitting in? - Robert
Unless it’s about how you treat employees
@@speedracer9132 yeah they treat them really well, glad you agree! 😄
@@speedracer9132 Yeah, nope. They were independently investigated and the report exonerated them of the allegations.
@@speedracer9132Are you for real?
"There's too much openly visible" This is honestly a user choice error in my opinion. You could put steel L bracket on the desk and mount the power strip on it's side, which would hide the plugs a bit better.
I agree. It was his choice of a downward facing power strip that was the issue, not the cable ties.
You would have to order a power strip that specifically has mounting holes on the side which will limit what you can purchase. You could probably use a few of the magnets with Velcro straps to secure it without using the mounting holes though not quite as cleanly.
To be fair this is how the solution works - powerbars seemingly all have the mounting holes on the back and the LTT keys mount straight to the back rather than at 90 degrees. Less if a problem if your desk has metal beams underneath you could mount to rather than the desk undersurface
@@TheBrain0110OP gives an option that doesn’t require this in their original comment
Nice to see someone I trust review the LTT cable management system. The metal plate is a great idea. Not having a tray or cover in the system seems like a missed opportunity.
I would like to know where I can get the metal plate. Link? Btodtv?
Counterpoint: There are already a lot of trays/covers out there, why not just buy one of them? I suspect LTT didn't make one because they didn't see a way to improve upon the existing options.
@@Lord_zeel Do you follow LTT Videos? In special Wan Show?
@@Neuzahnstein Yes, I watch WAN.
Additional counterpoint: when you have the magnets to organize then a tray is no longer organization, it's hiding. These are for organizing, not hiding.
Brilliant idea adding the metal plates. It makes the whole system a lot more flexible.
Oh wow, those metal plates are a great idea! I hope LTT sells them together soon.
The box esthetics was superb
Shipping the metal plates may be an issue due to shipping regulations.
A mew product, even if simple, could take months or a year to actually become available if they decided to start selling them.

@@FrIoSrHysheet metal is commonly shipped globally. Ive never heard of any regulations on shipping it.
It would probably add a lot more to the shipping cost to have to up the size of the box. I’m assuming due to the amount of care put into this that they considered selling them and decided not to quite possibly because their situation with shipping and warehousing would mean they would have to charge an unreasonable amount for it.
There is not a world, where I will spend $200 on a box. That box made the cost of LTT's system way more worth it IMO.
make your own metal box. See how much it costs
@@iambear.6526 You seriously think that's a good argument? A box like that would cost $50 to make at the absolute MAX.
@@iambear.6526 Sure, with about $40 max in materials and an afternoon spent at a metal break (or a workbench with some elbow grease) I'll have something that works. While it won't be as nice as the professionally manufactured one, it'll get the job done. Before you come in here with your big gotcha, maybe look up the price of a steel sheet? You can get them for next to nothing if you know where to look.
@@theyeetus1428 yeah that is a good argument. I could get a nice metal box made locally for about $50 and that is far cheaper. Or I could make a wooden box for about $10 at home, out of scrap wood. I made wood cable trays for a friend, out of wood from a pallet. The cost was our time and the hardware to mount it. That cable tray Looks great, and cost him about $8 in hardware, because he wanted the nicer looking stuff.
wouldn’t the ‘sticking down’ amount have been reduced by having the power strip rotated 90 degrees? Seems like adding a length of shield of some kind would be useful in almost any setup if you absolutely want to minimise visible cables. I hope LTT updates their setup with longer stick on strips like the ones you bought - agree that the flexibility of a magnet is diminished if you can only put it in one place which a small, specific sticky plate kinda forces. My guess is LTT were thinking more about remove and reuse so once you’ve got everything lined up you don’t move it around, but instead can easily add/remove cables as you update your setup. Your use case is a valid gap in their thinking in that case
100% the only thing better is when you are cable managing something that doesn’t require the adhesive plates like a server rack or desk legs!
Yeah, the main reason I ordered some is that I often need to add to cable bundles and it's a huge pain. With the magnets, I hope to be able to have much more easily opened bundles so that adding new hardware isn't such a hassle.
@@Lord_zeel Whole reason Linus made them really, and that there aren't stronger magnetic holders on the market that are as easy to use (e.g. holding a big bundle of ethernet cables on a server rack frame).
Finally a decent solution.
99.9% of the usual rehashed solutions share the same problem: It's not management. It's restriction. Fixture. Managing it properly would not restrict your ability to move things around on demand.
The same, just with magnets.
Get adhesive cable ties, they go for 50 for 3$ on Ali, and will do 99% of the job.
The only thing that will be missing is the power brick holder and power strip holder.
Oh and if you did not notice, you need to glue metal parts under the table for it to work, so not flexible at all.
Genius solution with the large-size metal plates, I absolutely love it and will definitely steal it for my setup :D Thanks!
For the power hub, I guess an option to mount it on the side (with the sockets pointing towards the back of the desk) would be a nice addition, it would give it a cleaner look than the "default" mounting position (with the sockets pointed down)
Really great review and good to see how they fit your scenario so well. I totally agree with the metal strips and I think you might be onto something there, hopefully LTT can release some similar plates with the set in future, maybe that could be a good way to package them as well with them all stuck along a plate in a single box?
Good user video showing real-world pros and cons! One point I'd make is having power adapters having their weight held up only by the electrical contacts. Electricians 101 is "never put strain on an electrical connexion". I use velcro straps to hold the weight of any adapter if it's hanging from the outlet.
I've had a metal frame desk for about 15 years and love using magnets to solve my cable management needs. Amazon actually has a fairly nice assortment of magnetic cable tie mounts and magnetic hooks. VIVO also magnetic channels which are nice but the magnets leave a lot to be desired so pick up some larger magnets as well. I do love your approach to using the metal strips! I'll have to buy a couple sets of the power bank and power strip things to add to my assortment of things.
Thank you for the cable management tips!
This is great, really shows off the product without sounding like a shill. I’ve been wanting to pick up some cable management stuff for a while, and now I’m really thinking about picking some of the parts in the set up! Those power bar parts for certain!
Excellent, excellent video! Very to the point, well thought out, well structured, and honest.
_Hmm, this video just gave me an idea >>> _*_Retractable Cable Reels._*_ Instead of hiding cables in boxes or trays, hide the cables in retractable reels. Secure the reel(s) under the desk for a much neater appearance._
Great video, keep up the good work!
I always try to mount my powerbars with the outlets facing the closest side so that you don't get the plugs sticking down further and its easier to access IMO. Really like your idea of adding strips to mount to rather then just using the provided point achors
Love the metal plate idea.
You could use two of the powerbrick holders to hold the powerstrip that way you could rotate the strip 90 degrees to the back. To keep the plugs from sticking out the bottom.
I like this solution as I don't have to dig around in a box and I have had issues in the past with cables tangling a bit when trying remove them. For my home work desk I am often plugging in and removing cables so this solution seems great. I would add a shroud though, granted my desk is against a wall so with a reasonably small shroud I can hide all the cables that are not going into my UPS. I could also route the cables along the metal legs of my desk with this solution to hide them a bit more.
Honestly the plates and magnets make it look super easy to manage cables with this combo solution. I am thinking of buying the whole home solution for the future. Will likely buy a desk and whole home pack and then tons of those steel plates.
Metal sheet idea is great
I was able to easily solve the cables sticking down from the power strip in my set up. I turned the power strip 90 degrees and strapped it to the support that goes across the base of the desk. Had to make sure I wasn’t using any plugs that would interfere with the desktop itself and were good to go. All the plugs stick straight out and you can see almost nothing unless you get all the way under my desk
I also did the $150 bundle, and was super happy I had extra since I could use a bunch on my wife's setup when we finally bought her a standing desk. I'm not tempted to go back through mine with the magnetic strips you bought, that's an awesome idea .
At my office my desk is Steelcase "Tanker" style desk. And to be honest, It really does work very well the desktop is made from MDF or particle board, it has steel sheets laminated to the top and bottom of the core material and then a laminate or veneer over top. It is hard to tell by touch. The rest of the desk uses sheet steel, so it is all magnetic. I used some magnets I got from Amazon and managed to get all the cables out of the way.
I would suggest removing the desktop of your standing desk and then bond a sheet of steel to the bottom. It would make the desk much stronger and then no problem with the magnets.
I don't want to say genius, but those adhesive backed magnetic plates are... inspired. I especially like that they have points for mechanical attachment too, so you're not resigned to waiting for the glue to fail
I think the cable box looks much better especially if your desk is push up agains the wall. The magnetic cable anchors do look useful though and I may pick up a few to try.
I'd be 100% happy if my desk looked like that when it's cable managed! I have a lot of stick on clips and feel magnets would certainly help!
You could just add a magnetic metal cover that hides the plugs that stick out, like the cable management box you showed.
Generic magnetic cable tie mounts take up half the space and can be an alternative to LTT's arches (cut velcro strips to the right size so you don't have to use cable ties).
When you're intelligent enough to put the cables to the rear and underneath the desktop they're virtually invisible to the average person in the room and since you don't have to bundle everything to go down one leg of the desk like most of the boxes require, you can decrease the cable length and use both legs instead of just the one.
I think its a great solution if you move your settup around a lot and its ease of use is probably the easiest overall. I think having a metal desk would make it a no brainer though.
Thanks for this! I've had these on my todo list since I first heard LTT starting to design them and those extra plates you found are a fantastic idea!
I bought the room bundle and had the same issue with the small plates. I don't think I'm going to redo my desk anytime soon, but I have enough left over to significantly clean up my Home Theater system. I may by some metal strips for the back of my media cabinet.
Might be a good idea to also review Desk Shelfs considering the enormous amount of options (from well-kown brands to cheaper alternatives or literally differently named one's).
Work just put new steelcase leap v2’s in the office. Now I totally see why the lamia exists, the leap is good and adjustable but the cushion feels really thin. Also the lumbar stuff feels really aggressive?
My Ameap has still been a total win for me at home though :)
At 6:52 what if you mount the power strips on their sides? In that way nothing would be sticking out like it does and that is not a fault of the system but of how you installed it. Thanks for the video!
Very informative
Think I'll go with that cable box tho
Robert is has achieved sensei-level of the art of cable management.
🙏 Much appreciated! - Robert
you can use the rest for the back of a tv for exemple
What monitor arm is that?
what are your lights behind the monitor?
Thrilled to see that even though there's a lot of packaging, it's all paper and cardboard that can hopefully be recycled.
Buying anything new these days comes with so much garbage single use plastic.
Linus loves massively branded packaging. That's why their screwdriver comes in a bonkers box with silly black on black text and pictures. He understands the LTT products only sell because of the "fans" of the channel and that is all. SO to see to those suckers they make massive wastes of packaging and then people will buy it and weirdly display the boxes, and sometimes not even use the product.
The permanent adhesive small bits of metal definitely feel like an inadequate solution to having a wooden desk like at that point I would use something else
Wow. I already have the LTT MCM set, so I didn't really need to hear someones review... but your idea of the magnetic plates is amazing! Honestly, LTT should steal that and sell some large plates without all the extra chinazon junk.
This really goes to show that everything man does can be turned into a craft. You want efficiency; you pick up colemak, or emacs, or steno, basically you enter pc "workflow" culture. You want beauty; you optimize Desktop environments inside and beyond the pc. Of course somene would be an expert of that. I guess I'm more suprised that I haven't seen a cable management expert. Whatever though, bravo.
what that powerstrip is that?
The only feedback I have on this video is regarding the visible power plugs and cables. If a side-mounting power strip had been used, it could have concealed them.
It would have been nice to compare the cost of buying the right size cable for your desk. Granted, some cables cant be replaced, but 95% of them can. I just bought cables to a specific length, so no need for all these magnetic clips everywhere and where I couldn't get the right length made my own (no you don't need to be an electrician ), . Example,. you wrapped up the speaker cable? Why not just cut a length that was right in the first place?
Your review was basically my exact experience with the LTT cable bundle. Confusing packaging at first, but once I started unboxing things, the individual packaging made a lot of sense. Finding metal mounting points is awkward on a wooden desk, so have a plan for how you're going to solve that. You found an incredible solution with the metal strips, while I ended up doing something different. The arches were easy to use, while the power bar keys and power bar holders were quite confusing at first. It feels a little embarrassing how long it took me to realize you can attach the cable tie loop to the power brick holder. Since I originally bought the LTT kit, they've added a gif of how to use the power bar keys to the store page, but I still think more could be done to explain how to use the unique products. My take is basically the same. The LTT kit is on the more expensive side, but overall, it's a great product that's different from everything else on the market.
Looking at the BTOD box VS the LTT cable management question, my plan was, why not both? I know that's a bit of an unfair conclusion for a review of a single product, but I ended up buying both. I got the medium LTT kit because I didn't know exactly what I needed, but the small LTT set is a better combo to a metal BTOD box. At the bare minimum, grabbing a few LTT power bar keys and power brick holders is a great buy if you're getting the BTOD box, since they can help keep things organized inside the box. Definitely a strong recommendation for "both" from me.
Yes, buying both is complete overkill since either product works well individually, but The LLT kit and a BTOD box go together incredibly well. The large metal BTOD box is my cleaver solution for how to mount the LTT magnets, and they work together to create one of the densest but cleanest cable setups I've seen. I've got 6 power bricks in my combo work from home/gaming/streaming desk, and a giant 12 outlet industrial power strip with nearly every outlet filled. My desk is absolutely packed, but there's not a single obviously visible cable underneath my desk. Yet, all the cables are easily accessible, I don't have to fiddle with annoying cable ties, and the cable box keeps things nearly dust free.
That LTT/BTOD combo is the best cable management setup I've ever had. All while costing less than the total money I've spent on cheap one-time solutions over the last decade. Without both products, I'd have to make some compromises somewhere, and I'm just done making compromises. Both of your companies pitched a no-compromises solution, and together they really are the cable management endgame. It's magical.
Since I can't attach pictures, I'll describe some of the more useful tricks I found. I anchored the giant power bar to the back of the BTOD box, at a 90 degree angle to save space. It doesn't budge. Those are some seriously powerful frickin' magnets! Then, I used the power bar holders to attach multiple power bricks to the back wall of the box to further maximize available space in the box. The LTT magnets keep things organized and provide space for all the other stuff I've packed in the box, like a network switch, laptop dock, Level 1 KVM switch, and a bunch of other goodies. I definitely went overkill, but man does it feel good to have literally everything perfectly hidden from (almost) every angle. I've almost completely filled all the volume of the 55in BTOD box, so the extra space and improved cable management provided by the LTT cable kit was highly appreciated.
The more unique LTT magnets are great for inside the box, while the flexibility of the LTT arches helps a lot in managing those pesky cables outside the box. I've used the small cable arches to route cables invisibly across the metal parts of my standing desk frame, for things like keeping my audio DAC neatly managed at the front underside of my desk. It's the first time I've found a real solution to managing the front-of-desk cables without resorting to annoying sticky adhesives that wear off over time.
Then, I used a combo of small and large cable arches to manage the two cables (power and cat6) going from the ground to my standing desk. They're the only visible cables, and they're neatly hidden at any desk height. Small arches keep both ends of the cable secured against the desk legs and cable box, while the large cable arch on the outside of the box holds a loop of extra slack for moving between standing and sitting. The large arch holds the extra slack very loosely, which allows the cable to smoothly slide through the large arch when my desk moves. The cable runs nearly straight at full height, while neatly coiling in a loop between the cable box and the desk top when my desk is at its lowest setting. It took a lot of time to invent that solution and get everything working, but it's nearly invisible once it's set up properly. I'm pretty proud of my solution.
I've reached the cable management endgame. I'm never ever going to spend hours longingly browsing through Amazon looking for another mediocre cable tray or cheap set of straps that doesn't actually improve my cable management. Other companies are going to have to step up their game to compete, or keep going lower and lower on prices. Anything that's more than $60 suddenly starts looking really unattractive compared with the LTT kit, which is really not of money a lot when you consider that you'll usually end up buying several smaller products in a typical cable management setup. Once you've got ~$250, you can gets a zero-compromises solution with the entry level BTOD/LTT combo. I can't imagine anything else better than that combo. Well, I can imagine an absolutely crazy one-of-a-kind DIY Perks type custom invisible desk build, but I'd need another 5 years to learn all the skills to actually build something like that. So the combo is my endgame, for now.
Could you turn the power strip sideways so the plugs don't hang down?
try turning the power strip on it’s side so that the items you stick in there do not hang down but rather to the side...
$150 for that much hardware is one hell of a deal, TBH.
Yea, at first I was surprised by the price - then I counted up all the pieces, can't complain about that at all
The $500 bundle is style wild though😅
Probably costs $15
@@simdevils high-density, high-power magnets are actually quite expensive.
Don't you love people that try to talk shit without knowing anything @@spdcrzy
@@spdcrzynot to mention injection molds, especially if the magnets are an insert that get overmolded, and if they arent overmolded, then installing the magnets securely will be expensive too.
The whole thing is shockingly cheap for the price. If their audience wasnt so big this product wouldnt even be possible, due to the lack of economies of scale theyd be able to use to reduce prices.
Anyone know what monitor arm he's using
you flip the power bar on to the desk frame so plug point to back
You should do a review video of all the A and S tier chairs and spend 3 minutes on each chair instead of 30 seconds or less like the other tier videos.
I nearly had a seizure when I saw the price of the "cable management box"
I saw a neat hack recently where someone fashioned a metal bracket that re-aligned the long power strip horizontally, so the power plugs don't stick down as badly.
This looks really nice, but are you concerned about the adhesive on the metal strips? It doesn't look like they have any indication of max weight, since they're intended for crafts. That power strip could detach over time.
Good observation. I intentionally purchased metal strips with holes in them so I could screw them into the desk if needed. I hope to go without screws because they may get in the way of the magnets. - Robert
The issue is usually the adhesive being too strong, thus not being removable without damaging the surface.
I'm either cursed or all adhesive just sucks. It eventually comes off. Screws are the way
Were you really complaining about too many brackets in the “room solution” when you cable managed a desk?
As for the box vs the brackets - that’s subjective. You don’t want to see anything when the idea behind the magnets is “make it so nothing hangs down but I can adjust it later”.
I liked the feedback about the small plates that comes with the LTT set vs the Amazon ones you found: the permanence of the LTT system of tiny brackets has been something that’s bugged me since they first unveiled it and I think your solution is what LTT needs to do in the v2 run of the product.
Overall good review, but a bit unrealistic with some of the complaints.
Problem for me of ltt merch in general is the absence of an European warehouse, I refuse to spends as much as the product (if not more) in shipping and custom fees
just wondering if there was no way to turn/attach you powerbrick on its side so that where power inlets where aligned horizontally and not vertically?
I think that might be slightly counterproductive with how LTT designed their magnets, taking into account that pulling them off is quite hard, but with sideways push quite easy, as such if the power brick would be sideways, and you would (the correct words for putting cables in and out of outlets) cables from it, then it would come off quite often and it would make the experience miserable?
@@PaulsRuza Could have an L bracket.
@@woo545 The issue is that magnets resist being pulled away from what they are stuck to strongly, but they do not resist sliding very well. The problem you would run into with an L bracket is that the force you are putting on the power bar would be lateral, this would cause the magnets to slide sideways. Plus, brackets would act as a lever arm, possibly making it much easier to accidentally pop the magnets off. LTT does sell silicone pads to prevent sliding at the cost of slightly reducing over-all holding force, but I'm not sure they would solve this particular issue. I think the power bar key mounts are sort of both the most and least useful item in the kit - they seem to work really well but they do require the outlets to point out perpendicular to the mounting surface. This is fine in a lot of situations, and to be fair this is also because that's where power bar manufacturer's put the key slots in the first place. On my standing desk, I suspect I could probably mount a power bar to the metal cross pieces of the frame, and for a static desk with metal legs there would be another option. But if you don't have a convenient place to put it, you might be better off mounting a power bar with some basic L brackets from your local home improvement store and some wood screws.
Put the L brackets on the power bar, then have magnets on the L bracket to the table.
Shouldn't be hard to do at all, 2 L brackets, 2 nuts, 2 bolts
Hardest part would be maybe needing a drill to make the key hole slots but that should be able to be avoided by unscrewing the magnets all the way then resemble with the L barkets in place.
Very expensive, but i guess It's something you could have for a lifetime if you dont mount them with double sided tape!
I will get a pack soon! :D
Just add carpet to the underside of your desk and us normal Velcro strips for everything
It sucks that shipping on the LTT store is hella expensive at times. I was trying to order the 2 magnet power bar keys and it's $16 dollars for shipping. Geez.
since this entire management kit is magnetic, do you think it's the right choice for the secretlab magnetic desk?
not BTOD, but I can say that given the fact that the secretlab desk is full metal, this might be the best companion for that desk.
It would be great to pair a small set of LTT magnets with the Secret Lab Desk. The desk has a built-in cable tray, so you likely wont need items like the power bar keys and power brick holders. Here is our Magnus Desk Review ruclips.net/video/Fp4wTxw5txg/видео.html - Robert
Why not, their magnetic and magnets are specifically made to stick to a metal surface.
2:05 I had my volume low and I thought you said mental wards ha-ha.
I 3d printed some and glued some magnets in they work pretty good now my setup doesn’t have that annoying cable monster
You don't like the plugs facing down? Could you not rotate the power bar 90 degrees so it was facing the wall?
A couple of metal L brackets in the right spot would achieve just that
200$ for the ultimate cable box. for a table that cost me 500$. damn, son.
All you need to do is use a 6ft Star tech open slot server rack raceway for 35 bucks to cover everything if you use this system. Just mount a surge protector behind the server rack and you wont see any power bricks or cables sticking out. That being said the Linus tech tips cable management system kit is a bit overpriced here. I feel like those magnetic bars and some silicone magnetic cable ties would do the trick as well.
Interesting how critical this comment section is of the reviewers critiques of the product compared to other comment sections on this channel.
Some of the comments on here feel a little defensive.
I just use a large under desk drawer at the back of my desk and dumped all cables and stuff in it, much easier.
Requires too much under-desk crawling. I'd have to buy a mechanic's creeper.
You can only recommend this product to Americans. It’s already expensive af as it is but for an Australian for example, it’s gonna be at least double the price
Well $150 USD is $226 AUD, so there's that. You'll then pay 10% VAT + probably $45AUD shipping, so yeah it'd be about $290 AUD after all is said and done.
Yep, shipping costs exist. Who knew aye (from an Australian)
I mean to be fair you got a "whole room" setup then complained when you had a lot left over from just doing your desk?
Put the under-desk power bar sideways...
ltt should have included those metal strips as an optional item
Thumbs up!
Thanks!! 👍 - Robert
If only I can afford 100+ dollars just for cable management.
man ppl will obsess over anything these days but the again this guy also have RBG on the back of his monitors 😂 i wonder why ppl don't just put RGB on the front of their monitors
I use screws and wire, 5$ solution to achieve same goal
What a weird product. As it comes in the box it seems like an expensive, roundabout way to do adhesive cable management. Ya, with your addition it become a bit of a better product but that's not what they're really selling.
they are so expensive tho
Velco and no zip ties! Beautiful! I hate zipties!!!!!
Wait until my solution come
It's not really innovating..
It's just glue and magnets for 150$...
You can do the same for less than 5$ with cable ties that come with an adhesive back.
Will make it look cleaner too.
Would rather just use a cable tray from Ikea, would be much easier to manage and cost way less.
sounds all fine and good - only thing tickles me, is the (analog) speaker cable clamped with magnets. not sure, if that is a "good idea".
Nice review, but I would say it’s kind of unfair to judge how it looks hanging down as that’s independent to your power strip and you me wall warts …. But otherwise thanks for
I would only use those if it was components that I had to frequently change out, but the box is 10x better
Congrats, you've turned your desk into a spaghetti junction
This looks like another over packaged mess to fleece the LTT fans. You came up with a better solution as well. Also, seen magnetic solutions in the past and pets/kids made it a mess. Really funny when your cable3s are dangling and the magnets are attached to your tower, because the cat or dog got under there and pulled some cables lose.
I just stapled the velcro cable ties to the bottom of my desk when I set it up and that has worked better and cheaper than most solutions. Especially an over priced bag of magnets.
another thumbnail of someone being probed.
150???
That sounds about right for the low number produced per run, the designing, the testing, the packaging, and the shipping, along with the profit level required for investing into the next production run, having funds needed to expand its product line, pay employees, management, and still have some profit in case of emergencies.
$15 sounds about right
@@dipperq Not for that many neodymium magnets. The material cost of neodymium alone is pretty high, so while I don't doubt they probably could have hit a lower price point if they went with cheaper materials and higher volume manufacturing and the cheapest possible labor. But there's no way they could have hit $15 and still had a product worth buying.
That's a LOT of pieces for $150, and this isn't bargain basement corner cut Amazon junk - I think it's a legitimately good price. Like was said in the video, he had almost enough pieces left to do a second desk still.
@@dipperq for a Chinese designed and manufactured product with garbage magnets and shitty casting, sure. I don’t think you have a clue how much this stuff costs to make.
so you messed up your cable management and then said it's the products fault 😂😂😂😂
Way, way to expensive. You achieve the same with a bit of double sided tape and a cable channel where you cut the top into small pieces.
The cable channel acts as the magnetic plate and the pieces of the top cover act as the magnetic holders.
And bevore you say "but that's restrictive you can't move it because it's not magnetic"
The LTT solution CAN'T be moved either because they only provide tiny magnetic plates.
They charge $150 and achieve what $5 can do. This is close to a scam.
Get the aliexpress version 😂
The overpriced rubbish some people will buy just cause it's got a certain brand.
I haven't got a single visible cable and it cost me 4 screws, a pack of velcro cable ties and a cable sleeve
Linus is a hack

Get a boyfriend that isn't married, simp.
Automatic thumbs down for mentioning LTT
