I was telling my wife this morning that I was seriously considering getting a Monster Tech mount for my Warthog stick. Right now I have the stick on my desk’s keyboard tray. It works, but it isn’t ideal. I have a small side table for the throttle unit. The desk itself sits too high to use the stick comfortably, hence the use of the keyboard tray.
I showed her what it looked like and I was promptly told that I should get one for the throttle unit too! So, now I am eagerly awaiting a DHL delivery from Germany!! Hopefully it won’t take too long to get here.
Looks good but I already have two keyboard trays hanging off the edge of my desk … but you know what … I could probably plant that joystick holder right in the center! Damn you Rix!!!

Why do you think I own a Warthog HOTAS?
That Monster Tech mount is a good idea, and I’ll use the design to build my own thank you! Looks like a pretty simple build + a wing nut to hold it to the desk.
Wow, this primitive desktop joystick mount turned out great! …
I wanted to keep the base of the joystick on so I can easily put it to the side so I built a desk mount for it. I was going for overall strength so I used some two-by-four lumber for the mount and super strong plywood for the platform. After drilling pilot holes I used 3.5 inch wood screws and glue on all the joints. It turned out so strong that I’d probably demolish my desk if I sat on the joystick platform.
