I like having a clean desktop when I can, but I have a few different devices that work best with a wired network connection. This 3 piece mounting system is great because I can make the grip the exact size of my switch, despite the primary use case being for laptops. I originally thought I was getting bent metal mounts, so I was surprised when they were made of plastic. That's okay, because the adhesive tape kept it on and I probably didn't even need to screw into my desk, but I did anyway. The adhesive strips make it so that you can get the exact fit instead of holding and removing the device and then marking your screw holes and hoping that you get the right spot.... nope. Just stick it, screw it, mount it. I recommend this product.
