Sweet. I'm old and security conscious. I like wires. I have a long-cabled USB hub to extend my peripherals to my nest of pillows or an easy chair.
I got this stupid 'lap desk' for my bedroom. Looks dumb, but it holds a drink, a phone slot, keyboard and mouse space. There's a couple legs I rarely extend. Works perfectly.

You've brought me some ideas how to reorganize my space in the future - I do have some 5m usb cables lying around and a cheap USB hub. I'm moving in the next few months, and I'll keep that in mind, thanks

I love my cables too and am security-minded, buy my gamepad input isn't exactly worth protecting except from embarrassment when I'm failing comically.
