I use two of these mounted to an office chair, fits a CH Pro Fighterstick right hand and a T16000M left hand. You'll need industrial Velcro or some kind of strong adhesive to fasten it tight to the mount. You should be aware that the mount is smaller than how the picture depicts it and the base of the sticks is larger than the mount bracket, but if you put the velcro on correctly it should work fine. Also, the mount adjusts at 3 separate joints so you have some flexibility but it does not extend so you need to be able to attach the mount to right where you want your stick to be. I can send you a picture of my setup later if you want more info, just let me know. Definitely gets the job done though, would recommend on a budget

Edit: Sorry, I actually use this. It's the same brand but this one gives you more adjustability, you may not be able to get the positioning to a comfortable position with only one joint

Yep!

I am using these bracket pole mounts, which seem to be super popular for this particular purpose - and for good reason! Works splendidly. They can be turned and pivoted in various ways, making them super adaptable.

I have used pieces of wood to attach things to the flat armrest things - not exactly difficult to make, given that I live in a village: http://i.imgur.com/ZUV2EWM.jpg

I've seen others use rubber doorstops and similar things to keep things in place where wood is not readily available.

I should really make a separate post about my setup...

I wouldn't know how to mount the joystick between your legs, but I recently mounted my throttle on the left arm of my chair and my joystick on the right. I have this kind of chair and I used two of these brackets. You clamp one onto each arm, swivel them up, then just velcro your joystick/throttle onto the flat surface. Since it's velcro you can detach them anytime you want, which is nice.

The brackets are kinda expensive at $35 each, but it was pretty worth it for me, it's a very comfortable setup and honestly a lot easier than trying to build something yourself. I sit in this chair while playing Elite Dangerous in VR and it feels just like I'm in a cockpit.

Thanks man, the stand is just a basic speaker stand that I put together. It's a Sanus WSS2-B1 model that I bought from Bestbuy for about $100. The clamp on the stand was bought from Amazon (Bracket Pole Mount VESA75/100) about $80-$90 for a pair http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PZDB2HM?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00

The silver platform is 2 pieces of plywood painted and drilled onto the brackets then tapped for extra security. And the Hotas is a Saitek X52 for $150. Here's a link on another post where I listed my entire setup if you want to see it all https://www.reddit.com/r/oculus/comments/4a9be9/post_pictures_of_your_vr_computer/. There's a lot of good setup there that others have posted as well.

Grab a set of these and some stick on velcro. Mounted mine to my chair for elite too, its great for leaning back and blowing up goids in my FAS.

Edit: just realized those are out of stock, grabbed them from my orders. Easy enough to find something similar.

Not for table but for an office chair these things are awesome and there is a whole DIY fixed posting over at /r/hotas about these.

I have a set and wow what a difference it has made being able to lean back into my chair and fly. You can use zip ties and run your hotas wiring underneath your chair, etc... But sheeeeesh these have doubled in price since people started using them for Hotas mounts.

I ordered these and then cut two 1" thick paperboard squares the same dimensions as the base of the joystick as an adapter plate; the VESA mounts are about 1-2 inches too small. Clamp VESA mount on chair, wooden plate to VESA Mount, then HOTAS to the adapter plate. It's very sturdy.

I just set my Hotas 4 on a computer chair with 2 of these on the arms:

(https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PZDB2HM)

And then I used heavy duty Velcro to attach each side of the Hotas to the mounts.


It's a great budget gaming chair.


Edit: bad link

There's some small Vesa pole mounts I've used on my chair arms. Just get some 3M velcro strips and viola. Arms will need to be compatible of course.

Beyond that, get a laptop lapdesk.

Or are you fond of DIY and PVC?

Here it is

i have two of these.

and a little velcro

Just a VESA pole mount that I put velcro strips on. Would honestly prefer a solid desk mount, but that requires a non-glass desk, which I'm building, but isn't near completion yet. Here's a link to the mounts I use, bought them off of amazon:

They've done me well for the past few years. Solid cheap mounting option IMO.

Thanks man. I need to do that still. I can say it was pretty basic. Though have not seen similar, usually people who use the VESA arms make it so they go up and down, not swing out and in like I found was really useful. The only outside involvement was the welding, not a welder myself, so had a guy at my local muffler shop weld the pipe pieces to the chairs arm mounting plates after I unbolted them from it. The pics do show that. Then it was just using the items listed below with a little customization, such as cutting the mounting plate on the long VESA arm to match the Warthog jstick circular base..etc. But here are the parts I used, along with a few pieces of pipe as seen in the pics and some paint and a couple USB hubs mounted underneath chair as well. The MFD mounting adapters I designed and 3D printed

Jstick arm used:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OPC4BH2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

This is attached to the vertical pipe attached to the chair arm base plate.

Throttle arm used:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PZDB2HM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

This is attached to the horizontal pipe piece on the chair arm base plate.

MFD articulated arms:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HCQDKCK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

These are attached to the chair arm base plate via one of the original mounting holes for the chairs arms, which I do not use(never like arms on my chairs)

The chair was $109.99

The clamps were $34.95 per.

Those are the ones I got, The mount around the arm-supports of my chair, and I use one of the hinges to make the bracket parallel to the floor. (Those hinges are what I loosen to spin the stick and falcon out of the way when not in use)

They also have some with more hinges/gimbals if you need to get more rotation/length out of the mount.

EDIT: I should say, it took a bit of drilling to put screw-holes in the right places on the X-65f mount-plate. And the Falcon is attached a bit more... sketchy. It's a heavy bastard and took a bit of futzing to work, but that's also the reason I still have that big wide "foot" still on it too, best mounting support without damaging the Falcon's body.

I think the best solutions right now are:

These are very popular

Mount your sticks to some wood and use these to hook them to your chair (They have a $10 cheeper version also).

You want your arms to be slightly over the sticks, not resting under the base level.

I use these to mount to my chair. Then the throttle / stick attached with Velcro so the mounts can be folded away when not in use

https://www.amazon.com/Pro-Signal-Bracket-Mount-VESA75/dp/B00PZDB2HM

It's just a regular office chair I got from amazon with some swivel mounts clamped around the front of the arm rest. I used 2 of these:

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PZDB2HM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_ql5jybTYXK9XM

Sorry for the link gore, I'm on mobile and can't remember the proper link format. I used industrial strength velcro to attach the throttle and stick to the mounts, and ran the connecting cable back behind the chair. The mounts are great, I can easily leave the HOTAS mounted and swivel it out of the way when I'm not using it.

a good thing i have seen ppl use is those swivel monitor mounts like this that with a wider aluminum plate attached and some industrial velcro should work wonders

I think this is the VESA the guy is talking about:

Just be forewarned, your arm supports might be set a little far back.

You want to look at VESA mounts, assuming your monitor/TV does have the VESA holes. But any flatscreen should have them these days.

Make sure to not blindly buy this, I just took the first one as example.

I personally think this is a better version of those mounts and they are in stock. It has an extra joint for more adjustments.

Would something like this work?

in the same situation pretty much. Ordered a vive, gettin things ready for next month. I'm gonna grab two of these to just mount onto the arms of my chair. I'm unsure at the moment what setup im going with though. was thinking about the x52 pro. After reading around though i kind of want to go for the t-16000m.

Does anyone know if a x52 pro throttle works fine with the t-16000m? If thats the case i think thats how im gonna do it. Can pickup the x52 throttle on ebay for around 50$ it looks like. So could get the setup for under 100$

You could also use these or similar mounts, attach them to your seat and tilt them upwards. like this you get a nicely placed surface for your sticks (sts).

Kind of like this setup.

I love my PlayStation challenge but would never consider it a recliner/home theater chair. It’s just not comfortable for that. It feels like a racing seat though and feels like a good fit for any cockpit game.

I do believe it is about the only option for something that can be folded and put away with easy.

I attached the HOTAS to mine with relative ease using some pole mount monitor mounts. I did have to wrap some stuff around the poles to make them thick enough for the mounts though. But it worked out really well.

Overall I’m very happy with my setup

Flight assist off is really only for making really tight turns. I personally use a mouse and keyboard and just have it set to toggle.

And I want a Hotas so bad :(

Also I've seen people use these to attach to a chair.

These things are sold out everywhere I look now, however, these are very similar and as of this post are still available.
