2020 Christmas Buying Guide Gadget Review

Cable Guys

Exquisite Gaming, not a name I’d heard of before actually, but I certainly HAVE heard of their range of Cable Guys. You’ve likely seen them in the wild before and thought “I really need to buy that!” well, now is your chance. They’re basically just desktop stands for your mobile phone or game controller. Of course… that’s selling them short.

They’re all fully licenced merch covering everything from Star Wars to Street Fighter. As you can see, I’ve got Clap Trap from Borderlands. And wow, these things are surprisingly huge too. Each comes with a micro-USB cable, but that’s simply to charge your controller, the cable doesn’t plug into the stand.

As per the description though, they certainly do hold the controller. I know they’re a simple thing, but let’s be honest here, you love it too!

The colours of them and the range of options you have is truly fantastic. Because these aren’t some import knock-off moulds, they’re really authentic looking and there’s great attention to detail.

Front and back!

Master Chief looks sharper than ever

There’s absolutely loads of these to choose from and I fear I may end up collection quite a lot of them in the future, ha!

Where to Buy

You can order from a huge selection of Cable Guys on the EGX website. However, they’re available from most major gaming stores, Amazon, and much more beyond. Prices range from around £15 for a Fallout Vault Boy up to £30+ for some of the larger Marvel models.
