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

I don't typically leave product reviews but this product really needed one. It's an outstanding product at a fraction of the cost of other mounts out there. I bought this product for my VKB Gladiator NXT EVO joystick and throttle. Setup was a breeze. The provided brackets, screws and nuts worked well for my devices. The mounts feel very robust. So far I am super duper happy with my purchase.

5 stars because good luck finding any better deal. I got this for $72 USD, which is usually the price of just ONE mount. With this, you get TWO desk mounts that you DIY custom build to support almost any device you want. You can mount this in a variety of different configurations, and I am considering getting a 2nd copy of this kit just for mounting extra parts to the existing frames. Yes, I said custom build. Because let's just get it right out of the way. The negative reviews, in all their histrionics, are also correct: - Yes, it's so cheap because a lot of assembly is required - The manual is inaccurate and is more general ballpark inspirational, it doesn't hold your hand - This is a DIY parts kit - you have to use your brain and figure out a lot on your own If you are easily scared by a giant pile of parts, this is not for you. In which case I would encourage you to still try anyway. It really is more intimidating looking than it actually is -- which is much the same for the games that use mounts like this. If you don't have what it takes to assemble this, how will you survive the complexities of flight? Maybe a smartphone or console game would be more suited to you? If you appreciate the greater possibility held by a pile of parts, keep reading. There are some things to keep in mind when assembling that aren't obvious or mentioned in the manual: ☀ The Logitech Extreme 3D Pro isn't officially supported but can be secured to the mounting rails with 4 Velcro cable/zip-tie strip/wraps. This also goes for just about anything that doesn't have screw holes. ☀ Wipe down all the main metal pieces with paper towels before assembling or your hands will stink from some kind of industrial grease they made this with! ☀ The manual says to loosely attach the little trapezoidal silver nuts/bolts onto things _before_ sliding them into the rails. TO MAKE **EVERYTHING** EASIER, disregard the manual and instead first put them directly into the rails (make sure they're facing the correct way - match their shape to the rail) to create sliding screw holes. To prevent them from sliding out, use the little HIKIG branded square plastic pieces on the ends of the rails. The whole process should now be tremendously easier. ☀ If your desk's front facing edge is not flat/straight but rounded (like mine), you will have a challenge - this mount may pivot/spin around. In this case, either insert/build some kind of shim to provide the mount with a flat straight facing surface, or -- if you're willing to deface your desk -- drive a dowel, wood screw, or pin through the screw hole on the top of the mount to provide it with a 3rd contact point that will prevent it from swiveling around. ☀ After assembling the clamp, the best path to calibrate the clamp to your desk thickness is as follows: (1) flip the lever *into the locked-on position* before assembling it to the main vertical rail (2) use the rotation of the top of the clamp to snug it against the desk (3) flip the lever down to pull the clamp away from the desk (4) unscrew the clamp's circular pad A LITTLE TINY BIT to provide extra pressure (5) flip the lever back up to secure the entire assembly - this SHOULD NOT require great force ⚠ ! WARNING: DO NOT OVERPRESSURE THE DESK WITH THE CLAMP! ⚠ You only need "just enough" snugness that pulling the mount firmly will wiggle your desk rather than the mount! This kit has no safety functions to prevent you from building it in such a way that it will destroy itself, or your desk. To the reviewer who complained about the metal noticeably bending when mounted, you used WAY too much pressure!

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!

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.

They sort of work, in that you can attach things to them. The plates are advertised to work with VKB equipment, but they do not, so you have to use the bars, which are extremely long and sharp. The mount height adjuster is absurdly long, making it very difficult to fit in a typical desk setup, and makes it easy to accidentally knock it loose--an issue because the actual attachment piston is very finicky. The rails can also interfere with the piston, preventing it from locking for about half of the height of the (again, absurdly long) bar. There are a number of sharp edges on the rails, and the plastic caps do not stay on, so you'll frequently find yourself scratching yourself on them. The metal was covered in some sort of oily residue that stank stained several areas of my desk. Lastly, you have to figure out how to put it together yourself. The instructions that come with it are for another set of mounts altogether, and don't accurately describe the one they send. Maybe an older version or something, since like 30% of it sort of makes sense for these, but you're going to have to figure it out on your own. Not user-friendly at all. Way too expensive for the many inconveniences.

I've had this for almost a year now, and I've had no issues with the mounts. The quality was better than I expected (edges are sharp on unpainted surfaces, but they provide plastic covers). This has been great for both getting a more natural positioning to real-life control orientation but also for helping with ergonomics of my sitting position while using. I wish I had bought these sooner, as it makes such a big difference in my comfort level and posture now gaming (instead of leaning forward on my desk or having my arm raised to reach the flight stick for example). With the quick releases, you can slide or move the peripherals out of the way to return your desk area back to normal use as well. The instructions were straight forward, and you can look at someone's assembled pictures as well to get a quick idea of how to put together as all pieces are unique, which helps to alleviate any confusion on assembly. FYI, I'm using a Logitech X56 HOTAS and throttle.

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…

Definitely worth the $55 price. Well made and stays in place. Both my joystick and throttle is plastic and pretty light weight. Don’t know how well it works for metal throttles and sticks

This is what I needed. You can make adjustments for any setup you need.

Great product. Assembly was easy and the parts are very strong. I was able to get my X65F mounted but I did have to 3d print a small plate for the stick and throttle to sit on. I was and to use all the included hardware to screw the HOTAS down. Very much recommend.

Très bons supports de bureau. Ils sont rapides à installer et à retirer, solides, et relativement simples à monter. Une fois en place, rien ne bouge. Utilisés avec deux VKB Gladiator en configuration complète, tout tient sans le moindre problème, même en usage intensif. La stabilité et la fonctionnalité sont clairement au rendez-vous. Le principal défaut concerne le design : beaucoup de barres métalliques dépassent, et l’ensemble pourrait être un peu plus compact. Je comprends que la compatibilité avec différents modèles impose certaines contraintes, mais c’est tout de même visible. Les caches en plastique, en revanche, tiennent assez mal et font un peu cheap. Malgré ces points, ce sont d’excellents supports, fiables et robustes.

Ich wollte für meinen Schreibtisch eine Halterung für das HOTAS System von Thrustmaster und wurde nicht enttäuscht. Zusammenbau war absolut easy, der Joystick und der Schubhebel konnten wunderbar eingesetzt und befestigt werden.

Çok beğendim, sağlam ve hafif. Ergonomik ve sim deneyimini çok üst bir seviyeye çıkartıyor.
