I recently got a great deal on a used TM Warthog so decided to attempt a half decent mount for it on my desk.

The desk is a cheapy IKEA table so it was kind of tricky. I had a couple of RAM mounts at work and thought these might be a perfect solution (I wanted it to be adjustable)

I pretty quickly discovered the desk needed reinforcing so I bolted a couple of lengths of cheap pine underneath. once the RAMs went on I discovered they weren't quite up to the task of holding the throttle which weighs a ton. Once I put the adjustable legs on though everything firmed up really nicely.
