Hi!
Currently starting my journey into the higher echelons of this insanely expensive hobby by ordering dual Virpil Alpha Primes with Warbd-d base, mostly for Star Citizen but will likely use it for other things as well. This forum has helped me a lot in that decision, by just searching through it and making comparisons. Currently have 2 VKB NXTs SCG which I really like, combined with CH Pro Pedals.
However, the wallet is starting to scream, so I am wondering whether ordering desk mounts directly from Virpil is a good idea while there are cheaper options on Amazon, although I wonder if the quality is comparable. In the end, feels like a bad idea to waste a wonderful stick on a horrible mount. However, Virpil mount with how it sticks out on top of the desk and also out from the desk makes it feel a bit clumsy however, and I have no plans to add anything else after getting the sticks. So it's ability of extensions seems pointless currently, though who knows in the future.
Another idea that I have heard others use is just to have them on the desk, but just a height-adjustable desk. This is something I am probably planning to get anyway since I do a lot of work from home. Also perhaps an argument against mounts since I plan to use it for work, and having the joysticks be easy to move when not in use might be a big plus.
So main questions:
Do you recommend the official Virpil mounts?
Do you think just having them stand on a electrical height adjustable desk would be a good option?
Thanks a lot in advance!
