That's right clever!

Good work.

I did as suggested and removed the baseplate and mounted directly to the wood pad. Works great. Used small matching machine screws with the hex head so that I can quickly and easily remove the stick from the wood if I need to. Plenty of room outboard for the mouse pad now.

I think the reason it worked for Beach was because he had a chair that had brackets underneath to hold some arm rests which he converted to "joystick-and-throttle rests."

@Ice I know it wouldn't work for my current chair. I wanted to know what actual chair BeachAV8R was using so I could replicate what he did to replace what I currently have.
