I manage my cables with the following items.

May I suggest some cable clips, cable sleeves, cables channels, and a cable wire baskety thing to put an end to that?

You could try something like this.

Can do you one worse; there's like 5 of these under the desk: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XZPYP7Y/ and a bunch of little circular wire grips/etc. along with my network switches/hubs/surge protectors all fixed to the bottom side of the desk.

..but as upgrades happened over the year(s) I've been popping out cables here and cables in there. It's hard to plan where each cable needs to go, which hub needs to be used, which power supply to connect to, etc. with a desk this long. I end up moving them around a lot until I find the perfect length cable/hub for practical use. I think it's all about where I want it now though. On top of that, my laptop and a lot of the gear need to be readily mobilized.

The plan is to create an under-desk diagram, unplug every cable and rewire the entire office neatly sometime soon; I may have time this Thanksgiving weekend.

Not sure why noone responded to you but these are some useful items:

I use this cable raceway. Buy this raceway paired with the “frequently bought together” items at the bottom.

Buy a power strip if you don’t have one already and Velcro the power strip to the bottom of your desk. Docking stations help too.

Just undid five years worth of accumulated mess. Saw the beautiful workstations on this channel, and just couldn't take the cognitive dissonance anymore.

The before-and-after pics are available here: https://imgur.com/a/cjznWXZ

Installed a raceway and new power strips under the desk. The project took about four hours or so.

This channel had tons of great product and technique suggestions, and this YouTube video was also extremely helpful: https://youtu.be/Uc01oUqmxhE

Here's what I ended up using:

• Raceway: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XZPYP7Y/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
  
• Adhesive clips: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005MN2QHK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
  
• Power Strip x 2: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MXCQZ11/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
  
• Black velcro straps: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001E1Y5O6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
  
• Headphone stand: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00SGW9QLS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
  
• Microphone arm: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QH554TJ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
  
  The next phase would probably be lighting, but I'm far less comfortable in that area. Thinking of a simple LED strip behind the desk using color that is keyed off the screen color. Any suggestions here?
  
  Also, my mic arm clamp doesn't attach to the desk well because the desk has a lower drawer level that bumps into the base of the clamp. Looking for a mic arm clamp that is short--maybe 4-6 inches. I couldn't find easily on Amazon. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
  
  All other suggestions welcome!

I use this raceway, along with the usual clips and zip ties for odds and ends. Works well enough!

Nice setup, dude! Is that the Inspiron 7559 or 5577?

Also, cable raceways mounted under the desk and possibly on the wall would help hide some of those cables. I used these.

Yeah it's definitely a pain, and mine isn't pretty at all.

Basically I stuck a power surge on the underside of the desk with some of 3m stick pads and ziptied everything to the monitor stand and a part of the desk that I was able to loop around. I also stuck some adhesive cable organizers to the legs and underside, and used some sleeves to keep things pretty when it is raised.

What I should have done is stuck some sticky grids up there.

I bought this and ran it along the back edge of my desk and it's been great. Pretty large, the adhesive has never unstuck (been more than a year)

Def recommend getting a larger mousepad. Maybe one like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B014OOWMHQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_Au6-AbC5FABAT.

You should also utilize the space on that desk a little better by moving your case further right. It’ll give you room to mount, or at least stand those speakers up correctly. Also a headset stand would go a long way.

Another thing that could help improve your setup is cleaning up those cables strewn across your desk. You can do this easily by using something like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XZPYP7Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_bA6-AbVKJMBSB

Sorry for the long comment my dude. I’d give your setup a 5/10 but that number won’t be hard to increase with some minor adjustments.

Highly recommend getting a raceway to clean up any cables. I’ve used this one numerous times in different set ups and always my go to

I use this.

Stick this under your table and route your cables through them.

I have two. One is a hard plastic that you stick to the wall or surface and the second is a sleeve with zipper.

For cable management I highly recommend these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XZPYP7Y/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

They stick to the bottom of your desk and hide all cables. Worked well for my desk!

There's a lot of zip ties and several of these mounted behind the desk and underneath the glass.

I use a mix of Velcro ties and cable clips, but these cable organizers do all the heavy lifting.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XZPYP7Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_M-4RCbZAFKDD0

I also use this mountable power strip so there is only one cable leading down to the outlet.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00EUB7C8I/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_hb5RCbF3NQPAJ

Finally, I have 2 grommets in my desktop, so I have 2 of these to provide easy access for powering accessories.

Specifically, this one. Just make sure you do some planning beforehand, or else it'll get snug and you'll end up pulling all the cables out and starting over.

Happy cake day! Yea that’s sick set up! His cable management would be a super simple thing to fix to be honest.

You could suggest this link to him. There’s a couple other things to use but those would be a good start no doubt[J Channel Desk Cable Organizer] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XZPYP7Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_CjfRAbZGVWAA7)

Look up “J channel”, this stuff! https://www.amazon.com/Channel-Desk-Cable-Organizer-SimpleCord/dp/B06XZPYP7Y, it also means cables can come out cleanly where needed.

Dang. These are the ones I have in my cart: for power strip, for my cable slack. I’m gonna be using command Velcro strips to hold everything in place. Zip tie/mounts to lead cables where they should go.

Maybe something like these cable channels/raceways? Less elegant looking but more heavy duty option: those long rubber "J"-shaped cable channels like these ones.

FWIW, I always have my desk against a wall and use this IKEA SIGNUM cable tray screwed into the bottom of my desk so I'm not exactly an expert in cable management.

It looks good for your first try but these links will help you do better:
