CybrSlydr Posted July 23, 2019 Posted July 23, 2019 Which ones for the Cougar? Monstertech, J-Pein? Something else? The J-Pein looks like it might be the more stable since the vise contact is larger than the Monstertech - but the monstertech clamp looks like it would hold tighter than the simple screw-down of the J-Pein. Appreciate your input! Cheaper options also appreciated. :D lol
Supmua Posted July 23, 2019 Posted July 23, 2019 Best HOTAS desk mounts The most stable ones would be the floor stand type like the Monstertech or Wheelstand Pro, rather than the clamps. I have the Monstertech stand and it’s rock solid, can easily accommodate very heavy gear. It does take up more space and cost more, though. I also have J-Pein and Foxx mount and they’re about equivalent. Cheaper than Monstertech products for sure. PC: 5800X3D/4090, 11700K/3090, 9900K/2080Ti.

Ala12Rv-Tundra Posted July 23, 2019 Posted July 23, 2019 Desk mounts are pretty solid, I have one by Virpil Floor stands also have more leverage. However I think Virpil doesn´t provied a Cougar option.

GriffonBR Posted July 24, 2019 Posted July 24, 2019 I've choose the Foxx Mount because is the only guy that could make a custom mount for my current gaming desk. I already have for my throttle the Monsterch chair mount (also good, but expensive) and I choosed the Foxx mount to change my unconfortable Wheel Stand Pro setup (I'm tired to pull and push this monster under the desk) I'm currently waiting for my T-50 base mount, he even made a drawing for me to see how it will fit on the desk.

Orlok Posted July 24, 2019 Posted July 24, 2019 Make that +3 for the Foxx mounts. Just got mine a couple weeks ago and have zero regrets. They were definitely worth the wait.
CybrSlydr Posted July 24, 2019 Author Posted July 24, 2019 Since he does custom, could he possibly fab a plate for my steering wheel? Foxxmounts sound like the way to go!
Bahnzo Posted July 25, 2019 Posted July 25, 2019 I posted a couple weeks ago about the ones I made. Not difficult if you don't mind a little drilling and such, and not expensive at less than $50 US. I have link to the parts in the post.
GriffonBR Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 And here is my custom VIRPIL base mount made by Foxx. Worth 100% the wait! Highly recommend it. Foxx did an amazing job for me. Now I can easily switch from center to side stick with no sweat.
