I had clips before these Hook and Loop Cable Straps. The hooks would catch the keyboard when I would try and pull it out from under the shelf, so I had to raise it up with shims for clearance. Now though, when I put things on top of the shelf, it would be in the way at the bottom of my monitor. What a mess. These are the answer! They are flat against the wood and only stick out where the cable is. Allowing for clearance for the keyboard without the shims. Nice size velcro so placement of the chord is easy. I am only running one charger chord through it but I can see these being used for multiple cables at once. Its secure and stays put. Box of 80 gray and black so they are blending well with the gray on gray I used. My Son is running around the house now cleaning up the cords that are many and making them one.
