      Hello all,

      I am trying to figure out what to do with the collection of controllers (and other small electronics like Raspberry Pis). I want to store them, but also have them available to pick up and use. What do you use to store your controllers and other small electronics, while keeping them available for play? The more details the better!

        @brandflake11 a friend of mine gave me a 3D-printed holder for my 8BitDo-30SF-Pro Pads as a birthday present a couple of years ago.
        Gray with the red Super-Nintendo-Logo.
        Looks very good!
        I think selfprinting stands for Pads is quit a good idea :)

          Thanks, that is exactly what I wanted to know.

            I just wanted to reply with what I ended up going with. I bought a hanging shoe bag for doors that have lots of pouches for shoes. I use one of those to hold my controllers and it works really well. It gets all of my controllers out of the way and makes it easy to pick which one I want to use.
            In my research, I also found that having an Ottoman is a great way to keep controllers as well. You can hide them in the furniture and then use it to prop your feet up.

              I have special bins for all my Raspberry Pi stuff. If I'm bringing it on the go, I bring a bag or two for all the stuff I'll need when I'm over wherever I need to be.

                @hipsterelephant What kind of bins are they? Are they just plastic tubs? I actually think plastic tubs are really useful, but I find the plastic kind of ruins the vibe if they are kept somewhere that people can see them.

                  @brandflake11 Wooden. I agree plastic bins ruin the vibe I'm trying to make when these are out.
