Joystick / HOTAS Table Mount
Anyone running a HOSAS or HOTAS who's tired of sticks sliding under combat input and wants a permanent, rigid mount.
The dominant aluminum mounting brand and the standard fix for the under-appreciated HOSAS problem: tabletop baseplates slide under aggressive combat input. Monstertech mounts are anodized aluminum profiles with a quick-release clamp that attaches or removes in seconds and lock each stick rigid at an ergonomic angle. They're broadly compatible — Brunner, CH, Logitech/Saitek, Thrustmaster, VKB, Virpil and WinWing — so a HOSAS needs two mounts (one per stick), and a HOTAS likewise. Pricey, but a buy-once item.
This is one of the cleaner buys in its lane if the price and platform fit your setup.
Known caution: Expensive — two mounts for a full rig adds upIgnitionSim is reader-supported. When you buy through links on our site we may earn an affiliate commission at no extra cost to you — it never changes our verdict or your price. As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases.
