During covid, when I had way too much time on my hands, I got this idea for a desk that I've never had the time, space, or tools to build..
Basically it would have modular control panel type things that could be added to the desk. Think of things like mounted USB ports or power outlets or volume knobs for speakers, light switches, etc.. There would be one movable block for each control device. They could basically function as short extension cables to whatever cable management system you have on the desk. If you had recessed metal rails in a channel in the desk you could add some rare earth magnets to each block for stability. It would just create some visual consistency, clean up your desk space, and give a lot of customization at the same time.
Here is a quick mockup sketch I did at the time.
