How do you manage your controllers?

[Necreia]

How do you keep your controllers neat and tidy?  In boxes?  Shelves?  Racks?  Here's what I did:


They are made of solid wood, with each cubby 'dipping back' by about 40 degrees to hold the cables in secure.  If I ever remake it, I'll use thinner wood for the cubbies.  The wire is just simple high gauge wire coated with spray-on "Plastic Dip".

Not too fancy, but gets the job done.   Show off your setup!

Well, aren't you just gd fancy.  Those look awesome. How do you loop the cords before putting them in there?

Looks really good. Super organized

[OldTimer]

Looks awesome!

I don't have anything like that. I keep all my consoles and controllers in a closet and pull them out when I want them. Kind of a pain, but I don't have a good TV shelf to hold them all.

Thanks!  I'm curious if anyone else went fancy.

I just roll them in a circle.  My friend suggested some reusable twist ties.  Gonna hit him up for which ones he uses.

At least that'll keep them dust free.  That's a problem I'm facing with this setup.  But... first world problem, I guess.

For now, it's not really been a problem.  Because the cubbies 'dip back and down', the cables just kind of hang out in there without slipping out.  But, rubber bands may be a good idea to make it slide in easier.  It's a bit of a boxing match stuffing in the cables right now.

Those are pretty cool it that's almost to much work, have a bunch of drawers that I stuff controllers into lol.

[Necreia]

Yeah, it's a lot of work for the payoff.  Bending the wires to hold the controllers perfectly took about a day and a half, and blistered me up pretty bad.   I'm happy about having it now, but almost gave up a few times.

It's not as tidy as your storage system, but I use these bins for my controllers so I don't have to unplug. The downside is they take up a lot of room.



I don't have a PS2 anymore, and the Xbox is in another room now, but this is a picture of the old set up.

Looks excelent.

And further more you were either lucky or are true gamer like myself to know that red is Nintendo color and blue is Sega.

Use rubber band depending on were you live. for example, I live in the Dominican Republic (Caribbean), summer here some times is very hot and if I use rubber band to secure something and I don't use that item too much, with time the rubber will melt and stick to what it was holding

To hold my cords I use this thing that holds secure the sliced bread bags. (don't know the name in English)

But now I'm planning on buying this

By the way, those stands are amazing, they look great

That's absolutely gorgeous Necreia, I wish I could buy it in a store.

For cord management, I suggest Velcro ties. Walmart sells a pack of fifty of them for like five dollars, I use them for everything.

And fritz, nice to see my jaguar manual case on display.
