Anyone used this for cables management?

I just saw this on amazon and would like to know if anyone on here has used it. Looks like it could be just the thing for Oculus Touch users.

I have the IKEA lamp for the past 6 yrs. It been in storage for the most part. I am seriously considering the two doggy leash idea better than the IKEA lamp idea. I will try this out and post pics. 


I ordered a small one for little dogs and a large one for 50kg dogs. I'll post back results.

Im going to put the dog thing @ the end of the lamp to test it, but for me this is the best solution, Brooken heaven, Arizona Sunshine and more 360 games works much better then having a cable in the ground...what if you put your feet on it and brake the cable? thanks but no, looking support I dont want to wait 3 weeks for a replacement. Im using only 1 extension cable, 2 extension 3.0 cause me cracking sounds in-game.


I notice some crackling occasionally but nothing terrible. I wouldn't have though extension of the sensors have anything to do with it; unless you meant you have two USB extensions on the headset itself. That could be somewhat undesirable as opposed to one active extension.

Yes extensions was on the HMD and not the sensors. Tested with 2 machines and yes it was the extension cable causing the issues.

I just bought this a week ago, got the retractable set from the same seller. Theyre very sturdy & they work but the retraction is just a tad too tight. So it does a great job at keeping the wire up high & looks great but if you want to get on the ground it tugs a bit

Buy a Fishing Pole Lamp and get happy... Only 59€. Its worth the money... Looks great, no cable problem (fine management), cheap, you will need a min. 1,5m extension cable only and you get a lampshade for free... 🙂


What else do you call these lamps? The name you suggested doesn't bring up anything that looks any good. Also, £59 seems a bit steep just to hang cables above your head.

These things are a lot cheaper, just about 20$ or 19€ and they work great, I have them in my office and I think they work better than the lamp!
