F-16EX Desk Mount

[Wags]

For those interested, it is possible to mount the throttle to a MonsterTech desk mount. However, you'll need to purchase a different USB cable that has the 90-degree connector into the throttle.

Good to hear, I already have a 90 degree cable!  Mine is in Anchorage as we speak! How do you like it Wags?

As an F-16 throttle, nothing else comes close.

I've been wondering about precisely this for the past few days. Thanks for posting.
Am I correct that the USB port type on the back of the 16EX is USB-B? 

Second, I've read several people with the 16EX write that the side plate can block the mounting holes on the corresponding/left side of the throttle's base. Did you experience/solve this issue on the MT mount?

Thanks again.

This is the cable I used:  Amazon.com: StarTech.com 2m USB 2.0 A to Right Angle B Cable Cord - 2 m USB Printer Cable - Right Angle USB B Cable - 1x USB A (M), 1x USB B (M) (USBAB2MR)

Mounting is only possible on the right side, but with sufficient bolt tightening, it worked out fine.

Wonderful. Just ordered a right-angle cable; would've been SOL on delivery if it weren't for this heads-up.

Thanks!

Wags' Seal of Approval. That's it! I'm ordering one.

Works on a MTX cockpit Warthog mount as well.

Ey, what do you use the small programable keyboard by your left vertical side for? Comms? Cold start switches? I own two of them

[RogueSqdn]

Moving cockpit seat position up/down/left/right/forward/aft, ejection, briefing, FPS counter, and scratchpad mod.

Both are programmed exactly the same, so I can keep one hand on a stick or throttle and still make adjustments with the keypad.
