After playing the alpha on my battlestation below:
My wrists were aching from being on the controls at an odd angle, so I decided to do a bit of a bodge/ghetto mod on my chair.
I have a fairly bog standard office chair with arms like this:
So I thought there had to be something I could get to mount my X52 onto the arms... so I bought two of these:
They are pole mounting VESA brackets and were about £15 or so each.
I also bought some really strong velcro as I didn't want to end up smashing my X52 with screws and fastenings. This is a perfectly safe, non warranty voiding activity
Velcro chopping:
Velcro applied to the mount:
Velcro applied to bottom of the throttle unit:
Undoing the main bracket and doing it up around the arm of the chair:
These brackets are adjustable through X and Y with a supplied spanner so I have to ensure that it is at the right angle.
Tightened into position:
Repeat as the stick and throttle are the same size at the base:
The PS2 tether lead is fed under the chair as its just about long enough:
Win!
and hopefully no more arm ache..
Shopping list:
VESA Mounts
X52 Pro
Heavy Duty Velcro
