My laptop bag is an absolute rat’s nest of tangled cables, despite the fact that I try to do a decent – or at least half-decent – job of putting them away.
But they always seem to get into a massive tangle. And don’t get me started about the cables on my desk!

I’ve tried a lot of retractable cables in the past, and most end up being a disappointment, with the cable or reel being of poor quality, and the whole thing falling apart in short order.
However, that has not been the case with this retractable cable by Baseus. Everything about this is quality, from the flat ribbon cable used to the retraction reel, and it’s designed for regular use.
