Hikig 2 Set Desk Mount for Flight Sim Game Joystick, Throttle and HOTAS Systems - Compatible With Logitech X56, X52, X52 Pro, Thrustmaster T-Flight HOTAS, T.16000M, TCA

The mounts themselves are of great quality, heavy, and there is virtually no wobble when they are mounted to my desk. Assembly was super easy and’s took only a few minutes. They come with pre-installed HOTAS mounting plates and a more universal set of mounting plates if those ones don’t work for your setup. I don’t have experience with some of the pricier brands of desk mounts, but for this price and quality i don’t think I’ll need to.

Overall: Very pleased with the HOTAS mount, it took a bit to assemble but once together it feels sturdy, firm, and well secured to my desk while being easy to unclamp and store. The variety of configurations and adjustable position all work great, though it does require you to loosen screws to alter the height/depth this also means that once set it stays put and there's no fiddly knobs or other hardware taking up extra space. Pros: -Very customizable, fits a number of different HOTAS styles and has two different mounting platforms. -Assembly allows for creativity and modification if need be for a wide array of configurations, even upside down to increase height relative to desk instead of the standard lower than desk option. Though for some unorthodox configurations you might need to modify or bandsaw off some of the excess central/vertical column to prevent monitor view block. -Very stable once assembled and tightened up. -Very nice clamping fixture. Cons: -Exact number of assembly bolts/nuts. -Requires assembly(not really a con but some reviewers didn't seem to realize this was the case so mentioning it as both a pro and a con.) -A few washers would be a great addition to help HOTAS like the Saitek X52 which use the slender mounting bolts to better secure to the bar type bracket. The slide nuts would be a perfect fit for this had there been 4 extra to use, but the lack of extra led to me borrowing a few larger nuts from the plate style bracket mounting hardware to use in place of a washer.

This is a great product, if you're paying the discounted price around $80. While I do see how the original price is justified through the good materials used in this mount, they're a bit overly bulky in that they overcompensate in order to accommodate all the different types of HOTAS setups. I definitely appreciate the fact that I can upgrade my HOTAS to something better/new and not have to worry about getting new mounts, but that leads to a product that comes with a ton of extra hardware and almost too much adjustability. The vertical bar is long enough that you will definitely notice the lost knee/leg room, and this is amplified by the fact that it's built long enough to be mounted on a standing desk and be used in a sitting position. That could be a good thing though, if you're looking for a mounting solution that can accommodate a weird/custom desk. To further speak to the hardware itself; everything is made out of metal, aside from good rubber and silicone for the faces that mate with the desk. it feels like a very solid product, and once all the nuts are tightened down it feels absolutely rock-solid. These mounts can even be affixed to your desk at an angle and won't introduce any play or instability, if it's tightened down properly. However, I do think that they don't pay the closest attention to quality control, as I had two parts that were defective upon arrival. One of the four L-Brackets had a hole that wasn't punched through and had a slug affixed to the side, which had been coated with the rest of the piece making it difficult to repair on my own. I did end up assembling the mount with the bad bracket, and it still feels very solid. The second part was one of the flat bars, which have sunken screws via a bevel in a perpendicular hole. The bevel on one of the holes, on one of the four flat hotas mounting bars was not beveled and thus couldn't be affixed with two screws, just one. Regardless of the missing bevel, it didn't effect the rigidity of the mount, even when both bad parts were installed in the same mount. While the lacking quality control was frustrating, I was pleasantly surprised to find I wouldn't need to have it replaced since it works perfectly fine as is with the bad parts. Overall, this is a great way to have a modular mounting setup that allows for future upgrades, and is built sturdy enough to take some punishment. I can already tell it's a night and day difference having your hotas fixed to a sturdy surface, rather than leaving them sitting on your desk, unattached. However, if you order this product, make sure to inspect all of your parts, prior to assembling anything, as everything is packed very efficiently in the box and returns may be difficult to repack. One more note to make: I bought this product to use on an L-shaped desk, and this may have been a blunder on my part. The mounts take up too much room for my case and make it impossible to fully pull my chair in for equal reach to my keyboard and hotas. This can lead to having to lean forward to use the keyboard whenever I need to switch back and forth on the fly. This definitely won't be an issue if you have a wider desk, and will most likely still be fine for other L-Shaped desks if it has a larger footprint. Make sure to take some measurements and ensure it'll fit your setup, and account for any angle you may want to put them at when using the mounts!

I recently purchased the Hikig 2 Set Desk Mount for my flight sim game setup, and I couldn't be happier with the results. This mounting system is a game-changer for anyone looking to enhance their flight simulation experience. Firstly, the build quality is outstanding. The mounts are sturdy and well-made, providing a reliable and secure platform for my Logitech X56 HOTAS, and are easily detachable by just the simple pulling a lever. I was impressed by the durability of the materials used, ensuring that my expensive flight control peripherals are held in place safely. The set-up was relatively easy, and only took me around ~30 minutes to fully set up both mounts. It's versatile enough to accommodate various setups, and you can easily change configuration if you ever change your HOTAS set-up. What sets the Hikig Desk Mount apart is its stability during intense flight maneuvers. I no longer experience the frustration of my joystick or throttle slipping or wobbling during crucial moments in the game with them just sitting on my desk. The mounts stay firmly in place, providing a realistic and immersive flying experience.

From the engineering side, these things are overbuilt by a ton. Heavy, metal, well-designed and manufactured. Very adjustable for my different types of mounting. Assembly was a bit tricky, but be patient and the payoff is worth the effort. NOTE: The instructions do not match the pieces in the box. There must have been a redesign and there are fewer pieces to assemble. Several of the steps on the instructions aren't necessary because the pieces are shipped already assembled, like the clamp levers. Notice the picture I posted with the base plate and the extra hardware I didn't need to use. I have a Thrustmaster for PS, and to make it work properly I didn't need the plate. I can't believe the quality of these. My sticks are mostly plastic and lightweight overall, so the brackets weigh more than what they are holding. Get them. Patiently assemble them. You will not be disappointed.

Before you start this adventure make sure you have a good nights sleep, go to church (if you don’t go to church this is the best time to start) come home kiss your wife and children because you won’t see them for awhile. Frodo and Sam’s trip to return the ring took less time than it did to assemble this wonderful piece of equipment. Now the adventure does not end at assembly… no no now you need to figure out how to mount your flight stick and controls with the supplied junk bin of bolts they supply you, and I mean that they swept up all the loose bolts and threw them into two bags and threw them into the box. Finally the light at the end of the tunnel you found bolts to mount your stick and controls once mounted you get to set the adjustment for the perfect flight experience. By now the hex key they supplied has worn down and unable to perform the task to lock the adjustment. You turn it slips from your hand and hits the ground… you sit and reflect on the choices you made with your life, why couldn’t I just get use to it sitting on the desk? Why was I born? Many different emotions and feelings going on at this point, but you made it this far don’t give up… Found a hex key got her going and adjusted. Get everything all set up you sit back reflect on this journey. It was long, it was painful, but your a better person for it, and it’s time. All the hard work is about to pay off you sit back press the power button on your pc. Emotions like a child on Xmas morning laying in bed waiting for your parents to say you can go downstairs and open your presents. But wait I pressed the power button but no image on the screen… what is this maybe my monitor is off it never has been that way before but maybe it came unplugged. You check all the connections they are all good, you get anxious press the power button again and nothing no lights, no fan, nothing absolutely nothing. You find that your power supply decided to say “bye Felicia” and ended its life cycle…. Remember at the start when I said you will find religion? This is that point, you can take two roads left is a size 12 boot and whatever happens, happens. Or right you laugh, you cry, and laugh some more and give Amazon more money for a new power supply. I have yet to decide I am going to have a drink, and go see my family. Good luck everyone… this is all true, please pray for me…

Easy to assemble and the sliders let you set it up really easily. The clamps don't have the range I would like but the build quality and functionality are exactly what I needed for star citizen. Came with 2 full plates that have cutouts for a range of joysticks so you can screw them in and not have to worry about stability. Good price Quality material Provided solutions for a range of devices

This mount is easy to set up and has two mounting options, the first one is already installed, and has many different options for screws that could support many different joystick, however I have the TurtleBeach VelocityOne Flightdeck and it wouldn't work with the first option however the second one is pretty universal of two bars where the screws could go anywhere along the bar width wise and the bars can be moved to any distance. However the screws that came with the joystick and throttle from TurtleBeach had too small of a head so it would only grip one side of the bars. So I had to buy washers to extend the head's surface area a little. The instructions are simple, but could be a little more verbose. However the images appear to help with understanding with how little there is. Without the images it would have been impossible to understand the instructions with how little there was. If the instructions were a little better it would be 5 star.
