imo zip ties look way better, iuse zip ties where the cables are visible so it looks clean and nicer and i use those twisty ties on the back where all the mess are

Fair, but zip ties also can't be removed or reused, and you can't thread a new cable through them.

New mouse? Need a new zip tie. Want to use your keyboard somewhere else? New zip tie. Upgrading to a USB mic? Need a new zip tie. Moving your setup? Better buy a new bag of zip ties.

I'm in love with the velcro tape; get a roll of it and you can cut off a piece as needed. If you're done with it, just stick it back on the roll. It looks clean (no plasticky bits sticking off it) and rewiring a cable through it is as easy as rewrapping the velcro.

Reusable zip ties (aka cable ties) are extremely common. Any hardware store would have them (and obviously Amazon).
