  2. Many cords to hide? → sleeve.
  3. Both? → use together.
  4. Clean surfaces for clip adhesive.

What matters most

  • One cord vs many. Decides clip vs sleeve.

What matters less

  • Aesthetics of hidden cords. Focus on the visible ones.

Final recommendation

Use adhesive clips for the one or two cords you grab every day and a sleeve to bundle the tangle behind the desk. The combination is what makes a desk look truly clean.
