  • Lately I've noticed a trend in wrapping cables around the controller. In this video I show what I believe to be the best practice for wrapping cables and gives some reasons why.
    Here is a link to the velcro I use (not sponsored by Amazon or the velcro company): www.amazon.com...

    I love that you show the process three different times; studies show hearing something three times helps the person hearing it retain the information.

      Repetition is key to learning something. So I either did it 3 times or you'd have to watch the video 3 times. Oh. Wait.

    So many ways to wrap your cords. Def know about this technique. Good way to cable manage as well.

      I really think that velcro is under utilized in cable management. Thanks for watching!

    Well done Maestro. I do the exact same thing only when I dont have velcro I use hairties lol. I found velcro to be very useful with securing cables. People I knew often taped them together which is only one time use, leaves residues, and possible damage depending on the tape. With velcro just tie it back up over and over and dont lose it lol.
    Funny I used to do the same thing with my N64 controllers too. Well done sir!

      I used to work at Game Stop and people would bring in their cables with tape on them. I always thought they were just trolling us haha

    This is also how electical extenstion cables should be wrapped and Instrument and XLR/Speaker cables. This is why when I break down either my DJ setup or Guitar equipment at a gig and people ask to help I don't let them do the cables cause they just end up a tangled mess not to mention break. I hate when I see the over the arm and elbow technique UGH!.

      Haha I totally know what you mean! I used to run PA systems for my college and I wouldn't let anyone touch my cables. You can carry the big stuff but stay away from my cables haha.

    I’ve always tied my controllers by creating a loop at the top, then wrapping the rest around the controller. So it kind of looks like you can pick the controller up like you are carrying a suitcase.

    • @WavesNGames
      @WavesNGames  2 роки тому

      Interesting idea. It does alleviate the tension where the cable connects to the controller but you can still run into pressure as the cable wraps around the edges of the controller.

      @@beyond_5dtemp oh I thought you were joking because I've had a lot of friends joke about how I did 3 controllers.
      You can follow the same idea of the over/under method with the PS1 controller. The main thing is to make sure you're not wrapping them around the controller itself.
