    A really good use for the magnetic monitor mount would be in tandem with that little stat screen you had in a video not too long ago, after I saw that in your video I got one myself and atm I'm using it with the official Nintendo adjustable charging stand which helps hide the cable a little (I can tweet a picture at you as it's pretty damn clean) but I think being able to strap it to the side of your monitor using that monitor mount and say a right angle usb-c plug to help make it look even cleaner is an awesome idea and I'll have to look into it myself

I'm really considering something like the air duster, something to help me clean via air pressure. Cable management is always brilliant of course.

Being in Canada, most of these were never cheap in the first place due to import fees and shipping. 😅 But most of these ideas are good!
