My modded console and PC setup with everything interconnected. Too much clutter? (lemmy.ca)

It has two screens with and I can toggle between the inputs of my modded consoles (PS2, PS3, PS4, original Xbox, Xbox 360, and Nintendo Wii), my ThinkPad, and my desktop computer below my desk. When something is being displayed on my smaller screen it's passed through my PSVR processing unit so I can view whatever the output is in VR.

Everything is connected to a passive audio mixer.

My two computers are connected to a USB switch so that I can swap between the keyboard and mouse back and forth without relying on software.

I feel like it's pretty functional but I am wondering if it's a bit too cluttered.

Edit: The Xbox 360 Kinect can be used for its intended purpose but I can also plug it into my PC and use gestures for mouse movement.

Nah I think it's cosy I'm more wondering what people think of the general Ａｅｓｔｈｅｔｉｃｓ

The good news is that it's an amazing setup and has got a little bit of everything

The bad news...

Yes it's more than a bit cluttered. But that's not necessarily a bad thing

But since you specifically asked about aesthetics.....

I'm sorry man but in my opinion it's not super great. But hey that's just me

All good. I appreciate the feedback. It's a lot of legacy stuff I've had across several years combined together and I've tried my best to make it fit within the desk. You can see in the photo I had to use a Simpsons comic book so that my monitor fit over my original Xbox for example.

Does anything specific standout or any recommendations?
