Ideas for joystick center mount for seat

[Llama_Thumper]

Dear All

 

I have a  Virpil WarBRD base that I use with an extension. It's currently deskmounted, but, would like to have a center mount on my seat. I don't have enough space at home for a pit (Obutto, MonsterTech, etc) so my only choice right now is to have this mounted to my seat. Is anyone aware of any solutions either for just the mount or for a seat (ideally with cut-out in the center) plus the mount?

Many thanks in advance for any replies!

Another option to consider is mounting your joystick on an adjustable-height bookshelf speaker stand.  That’s how I mount my joystick on one speaker stand and my throttle and quadrant on the other speaker stand.  I can then easily move them into the corner of my office while I am working.

 

The only downside now is I can’t fully rotate my chair when checking six in VR, which is actually more realistic anyway - or at least, I have a greater appreciation for how challenging that was to IRL pilots.

You could build something nice using alloy profiles. Ok, my construction is mounted in my old simracing rig, but the profiles i've chosen would be heavy enough to use it without fixation.

Here is my solution. The mounts slide under the desk if I want to work on something.

I use TV wall mounts. It's not shown there but i use a virpil t50 joystick with a 3d printed extension i made.

Please excuse the mess. I Recently had to turn my cockpit into a home-office XD

 

aah and they also retract under the desk when i need them out of the way

If you scroll down a little in this thread, you'll see how I modded on office chair for center mount:

Later, I built a simpit and similarly massacred a Ford Galaxy seat to achieve a similar result:
