Velcro tape. Super handy. Along with being in essence a two-sided tape, it also fits into a re-usable, removable niche that becomes very useful. For instance, my Steam Deck's Dock is hooked up to an HDMI cable that is heavy and tends to pull it off of where it lives, but I also want to remove it sometimes. Velcro solves both problems.
Don't underestimate its strength. My father was a brake tester for a car company when PC laptops started to become practical to mount in the cars for instrumentation. Someone tasked a mechanic to mount it in the car, and after trying a few things, they decided to use velcro. So, naturally, they coated the entire underside of the laptop in velcro and had a matching velcro pad in the car. Took a crowbar to get it off. You don't need much.
