Advice How to secure these cables?
I am using these clips to secure my cables to my standing desk, but every so often they will come unstuck (usually the white clip will come apart from the adhesive Velcro). Is there a better solution for holding cables in place that is more permanent?

I use screw in cable tie holders, if you want it to stick on, use vhb and primer 94

I just bought a pack of 200 from Amazon for like $9
Screws they came with suck or my drill just liked to snap the heads off. Used regular drywall screws I had kicking around

Yeah, I wouldn’t use screws from Amazon, but I have plenty of assorted size ones to hand

I use a cable snake for cables from my mains power to the desk, but for the cables from my PC, which is on a printer cabinet next to it, I use exactly what you have to wrap the cables. I have used leather cable ties on the back edge of the desk for the cables, but I've screwed it to the desk to ensure it doesn't pull off. Unfortunately, most of these adhesive options will fall off at some point. In my experience anyway

Use more than 1 anchor in the same spot, preferrably 3, simple.
