I JUST received my Virpil ConAlphas today and mounted them to my writing desk converted to a computer desk with Monster tech mounts you recommend on this channel. I LOVE the setup. The desk itself is a DIY adventure where I installed a dual arm monitor mount (drilled thru), installed a TV wall mount bracket underneath the desk on 4x4x12 stud boards that I attached with bookshelf brackets, and I mounted my ThermalTake case to it. Pics if you’re interested.
Thanks for your clear, concise, and honest reviews. You are always a great source of information for our community. You and your efforts to make such great content are much appreciated.
I plan on getting a new chair, better joystick/hotas and a way to mount them to my chair. I appreciate all of the reviews you have done on the joysticks and table/chair mounting systems, they have guided me to what I think is the best setup for me.
You know....kinda pisses me off when there are only yet 43 views, 6 likes and someone already dislikes this video. If you are not going to buy the product, by all means do not. But how is this video "bad"? This guy has one of the most succinct, informative, transparent channel styles in any genre...c'mon man...
Just ordered a pair of these with swivels for my Nitro Concepts S300 chair. Now to wait for shipment from Germany...tick tick tick 😁 (Noobifier recommended) Have a VKB Gunfighter Mk3 on the way also. Wallet is crying but it's worth it lol
I am absolutely happy with my monstertech chair mounts and breakaways. It is not a cheap solution but like virpil you get what you pay for. Thank you for always making great and clean videos depicting both monstertech and virpil by far the best videos around without any doubt!!
When you get an Herman Miller thinking you've become the ultimate ergonomic gamer. Then noob makes videos of a chair with mounts that I can't do with my Herman.
I didn't want to buy the chair mounts at monster tech's prices. Figured I'm a mechanical design engineer, I can come up with a way to do it for far less money. Spent about £28 on wood, screws, clamps, small brackets and a hand saw. I then proceeded to make a fairly bad job at cutting and finishing those mounts in my dining room, damaging my dining table and covering my flat in saw dust. I did finish them though, and I still use them to this day. They're not pretty but they do the job. However, all up, I spent most of a weekend working on them. By the time I was finished I figured out that I could have spent that time working OT and that would have more than paid for monster tech's mounts. I'm lucky in having very easily accessible OT, and making my own was definitely more fun... but I'm still planning to buy monster tech's mounts when I finally upgrade my old sticks and throttle to a full virpil kit, because there's a lot to be said for the finish when you're an adult trying to make his big man toys fit into an otherwise respectable home. Well, I'm probably going to at least model the design in CAD and go for quote through my work contacts, I'm curious how the pricing will compare. I bet MT's will be competitive given I'm only buying one set.
My dyi solution suits me perfectly and cost me 120 USD , outside of the chair. Took me 3 months and lots of study to make it. Still if I knew how much time I would have spent beforehand, I would opt for the solution presented in your video.
I've actually using this kind of setup for a while, it is awesome. The Swivel release makes it so I can attach or remove my HOTAS in 30 seconds. Especially handy no with the work from home situation. Now I'm in the process of upgrading to VirPil I only need to buy some new mounting plates. The only "complaint" I have is; the mouse extension plate has a little bit of leeway, but it is minimal.
I've had my eye on these for a while. Good to see they are refining them even more. My L shaped ikea gallant desk doesn't work too well for mounting desk mounted joysticks. These seemed like a solid solution for solving my problem.
So the twin Monstertech chair mounts with swivels arrived. Excellent build quality as Noobifier said. My Nitro S300 chair did not require the under seat bar adapter. VKB Gunfighter Space Mk3 also arrived coincidently on the same day as Monstertech chair mounts, which was awesome. VKB stick looks of great quality, mounted to Monstertech platform which looks good and functions as advertised. The Cdn to US exchange rate, duties and shipping do crank the cost up on this rig. Still definitely happy with the overall setup. Now to decide on which stick or throttle for left chair mount...
Steve B i appreciate you coming back and providing feedback. Even though the chair did not require the central bar, I believe you would find it adds so much more rigidity if used.
@@NOOBIFIER1337 Just ordered two myself with swivel adapters couple days ago using your referral code. Saved me couple of bucks. Thank you for your amazing videos and knowledge my man! Appreciate it.
@@NOOBIFIER1337 our other two gaming/office chairs definitely require the stabilizer bar. I would consider the stabilizer bar with my current chair if I were to order something for connecting a center stick. Only thing I regret is not ordering the mouse pad base....next order I guess.
I am using Monstertech products myself, like shown on my profile picture. The provided M3 pads wich came with the mouse and mini keyboard MTX Boards should be replaced by some special M3 Dual Lock pads to be able to adjust them later on. These are heavy duty and much better then the ordinary velcrobands.
I think a little while back you mentioned you were going to be doing some vids on the current state of the FM in SC? Would really like that! But these are cool too, keep up the good work o7
Let's make some approximate accounting: Ikea Chair: 160 € Monstertech Mount: 270 € Virpil Base + Grip: 500 € Bending and stretching knees (sitting on chair after an hour session): Pleasant and healthy Banging your joystick against table desk at high speed: Priceless (interesting idea but after looking at the marks on the front of the side rests I'd be scared to mount anything precious in front of them ) :-DDD
@@NOOBIFIER1337 I just checked the price of that Ikea Markus chair in local Ikea. But knowing how I ride those chairs when my legs start itching, I'd be really afraid about the life of those exposed joysticks. Maybe Monstertech should also add a bumper :-)
Thing is chair mounts limit how much you slide the chair under the table. I personally tend to be seated for normal work and other FPS games almost abs touching the table so this is for sure a no-go. Their deskmounts are great, but insanely overpriced. Happy for you to see you got a contract with Monstertech. Definitely a cool company to have in your friends list.
FNS this is true, you may need to bring the monitor closer if it alters your experience. Being able to flip them back in seconds means it’s fine to climb in and rotate the pivot.
Looking at doing this build for my setup, current have a Secret Lab Omega Chair though. Are their complications at all with that chair? And I’m working to get two Virpils flightsticks but unsure of the differences between gimbals.. Was looking at the Warbrd but wondering the pros/cons compared to the others.
Damn that's cool. I'd worry those collars are putting a lot of pressure on a very narrow point of the seat compared to the original flat base of the seat.
Man, I can't even buy this chair for pickup at the nearest Ikea. I'll have to pass until the chair becomes available since $99 delivery charges seem steep to me. Granted this is on top of of everything else I'll have to get including the joysticks and mount, but thanks for the discount for when I eventually use it.
People that say, Oh I can make that, forget time is money. When I'm building a supercompter on a deadline, the last thing I want to do, is try to build a joystick platform. I want to play. So I'm willing to spend money I made to do just that.And yes, I am a machinist, electrical technician, and a jeweler. I COULD build the mount, but I ain't gonna :)
Thanks for covering the part about cables, I finally got a fancy chair, and have been putting off getting mounts. I'm stuck between table mount and chair mount. I definitely don't want both. Have you experienced the cables for the chair mount take away from your experience? Have you ever felt distracted by it?
@@NOOBIFIER1337 The seat bottom is wood actually and after some digging, is surprisingly thick wood. Not what I'd expect from Ikea since when I hear that name flimsy comes to mind, not sturdy.
id worry more about the seat of the chair with those 4 extensions being the only contact points with the base, instead of the base being flush against the seat. Id rather a see a more universal base plate, which should be doable because most chairs use similar 4 bolt designs. looks great though.
This is a great channel, high quality edits and always informative content. Just discovered you last week. I am have been a Citizen and have been for at least 6 months. I haven’t been able to play for technical reasons but now that my tech reasons are being solved I was wondering what the best setups would be. That is how I discovered your channel. I eventually want to get to virpil status like you. Gotta start with something closer to my budget though. I was thinking about the $30 Logitech sticks 3D pro precisions. Do you have any suggestions for cheaper sticks?
Thanks very much for the support and kind words. For Price, lately many have been enjoying VKB NXT. They are priced well. Feel free to join our discord to discuss with other
Ok, that's cool. I saw their mounts MIGHT work for my char. It's a cheap knock off and doesn't have the same mounts. BUT! It does come apart at the seat, so this would be great. (its a little shoddy anyway so if I got a new chair, even better) This would be a good inirum till I can get a sim rig....and that's a few years out anyway.
This the best for open world sim game like star citizen, i hate having my joystick in front of me while i'm on ground, the only complaint is that it hard to find a compatible chair that isn't 300€ and more
I couldn't tell from their website but do they have chair mounts that work on chairs where the arm screws are on the side, not underneath? Without having to buy the underneath mounting plate?
I am trying to create a solution to add a structure for, around, under, and over my $8k massaging recliner. I need the massaging constantly due to my medical conditions involving spinal injuries 30 years ago and degeneration which result in nerve issues in my upper back and shoulders. The issues result in muscle cramps, tension, and mitigate the resulting inflammation (which pinches the nerves down my arms). It sucks, completely. The chair helps a lot, though. So, I need to create a solution which is designed around the massive massaging recliner chair so don't have to stop working/playing constantly to go use the chair. I believe I must build it all to rest on a platform, chair and all. I need two or three monitors (i dream of a super widescreen under two other monitors) mounted to the underplatform and suspended over the chair. I envision the monitors swinging into position, up or to the side, so the monitors are out of the way to get seated or get out of the chair. Simpler to have my personal (gaming) PC off to the side of the chair and also mounted on the wheeled underplatform everything sits upon. That way the only cord involved is a single thick power cord which powers everything to plug into from the platforms big power strip ideally with surge supression. Other mounted needed items on this monstrosity are: a laptop holding mount for a WFH company laptop. I already have and use a keyboard/mouse/monitor switch and cables to switch from my personal (gaming) PC to the laptop for 'working mode.' A drink holder and adjustable surface for miscellaneous objects like reference mooks or snacks would be good. Keyboard and mouse platforms which can be adjusted easily and be swung out of the way to get up. Finally, mounts like are shown in this video review for 'simpit mode' for my HOSAzS, which can be also moved out of position when not being used. I can share my concept blueprints and ideas if you (or Monstertech) are interested. There is no provider out there with a solution like this and it is quite the engineering challenge. A huge project. I hope to use as much Monstertech as I can for my much-needed solution. They look like the real deal. Thanks again for all the great reviews and content you provide.
So my questions are; how comfortable is the IKEA Markus office chair, and does it feel like a chair that will last a few years of good use? Oh, and I got GameGlass on your code, I'm pretty happy with it! And last week I had the Constellation Alpha (R) grip in my checkout, and while the website was slowly trying to process my order they ran out! Very sad about that! One of these days I'll get it!
I find it quite comfortable. Due to the virus, my wife has been using it for the past couple months with the mount removed. She said the chair was really good
@@NOOBIFIER1337 I ended up buying that chair btw, and I just came back here to get your discount code for monstertech. Ordered a left hand alpha and a set of virpil pedals to finish out my virpil set and I needed a mounting plate for my new left stick. A little galling to pay $40 shipping on a $40 part, but thank you for the discount code regardless! Every little bit.
So. I bought the chair mounts and plates for the T1000ks. I am now upgrading to Virpil Constelations. Is there a way I can get them to just ship me the new mounting plate? I don't personally see that option on the website, and I don't want to buy 2 brand new full mounts when all I need is the plate.
You think this would be compatible with an ergo chair? mine is not IKEA it's a diff brand. Looking at it, it has that same central base that attaches the upper seat. So i am guessing it might be possible.
Things are sold separately. iMO to be sure you get exactly what you need, please contact them with a list of what you have and tell them what you are trying to do.

Indeed
If I could only adapt this to my exercise ball that I use for a desk chair. Joking aside this is a great solution.

@@NOOBIFIER1337 well that's a consolation, carry on sir
I bought the desktop mount after viewing your review some years ago. It's perfect for my use (HOTAS) and is rock solid! Very happy so far :)
Benoit Meunier desk mount is my preference as well
This video has sold me on this product. Definitely going to be using Monstertech when my joysticks come in. Thank you!
Just ordered a pair of these with swivels for my Nitro Concepts S300 chair.

Sweet step forward in refining. MonsterTech are going from strength to strength. Table mounts to Chair mounts, I've alwways been happy.

Totally sending this video to my wife as my birthday present suggestion. WOW this is solid.

Let's make some approximate accounting:

This is a bit off topic, since it's a question about the sim rig: Do you have any recommendations for a seat to go with the rig?
Thanks for sharing the info Noobifier, it is appreciated.
Looks sweet! I love my current setup, but it too wierd so I have decided to make my own chair
Looking at doing this build for my setup, current have a Secret Lab Omega Chair though. Are their complications at all with that chair?

Had you thought bout attaching the chair to MTS. Bolt it to where the flight chair is supposed to go?
This is ideal, wish I could apply it to my PELLO! 😎
Not sure if their mounts will work with the chair I ordered, but I'd love to have their system.
how stable are these on a dxracer? been thinking they might be worth a look
I imagine they are fine. Can you please contact Monstertech and confirm. They are quick to reply.
Solid content as usual, great video.

Would it mount a HOTAS?
The chair mounts have a variety of adapter plates that attach to them, including adapter plates for many popular throttles.
@@Tsudico thanks! That's awesome.

So. I bought the chair mounts and plates for the T1000ks. I am now upgrading to Virpil Constelations. Is there a way I can get them to just ship me the new mounting plate? I don't personally see that option on the website, and I don't want to buy 2 brand new full mounts when all I need is the plate.
Yes, you can buy that alone. Please just email them. or use this link www.monster.tech/en/product/joystick-throttle-mounting-plate/
Thanks Noobifier and Monstertech this looks amazing!...........................................Shared.
Next level 😎🍻
I know this is an older video, if I had the same mounts, would I be able to access the swivel handle of the mounts from sitting at the chair itself?
I am able to do this seated yes, it might be quicker to do it when out of the chair.
Thank you for the great review!
Cool idea. Does this work on all chairs? If not, that kind of limits buyer to people who own or want a ikea chair
It’s universal and Monstertech might be able to confirm
This is a much more attractive solution for me.
Hi Did you suffer any lag through the sub connection ? when connected to the chair or did you connect you sticks directly to pc .
All of my gear is always connected through USB. It’s light speed travelling 3 feet. I can’t imagine there would ever be lag.
You think this would be compatible with an ergo chair? mine is not IKEA it's a diff brand. Looking at it, it has that same central base that attaches the upper seat. So i am guessing it might be possible.
I would ask you to please send Monstertech a photo of what you have.
Are the chairs comfortable?
That racing rig looks soooo nice, also very expensive. What monitor is that?
The monitor is a 49” 32:9 LG... I did a couple of videos
im confused does the order come with just one mounting thing?...im pretty sure i need 2 joy sticks not just one
Things are sold separately. iMO to be sure you get exactly what you need, please contact them with a list of what you have and tell them what you are trying to do.
ordering is a bit confusing. do i buy 1 as a set, or 2 sold individually?
There is a central mount, then attachments for let and right. I believe the side mounts are individual
The USB hub you mentioned. Is this part if their kit? Or where can I get it?
You can buy them from Monstertech or you can just go onto Amazon. They’re made by a company called anchor
@@NOOBIFIER1337 cool ill look into that. I have had issues in the past with hubs feeling sluggish so im trying to find a solution

Noobifier what is that macro pad you have on the left of your laptop?
It is a streamdeck. I have done some videos. Search for "MSFS Stream Deck Noobifier"
Sounds good but I doubt their's accommodations for my joysticks (T16KMs) and chair (Top Gamer).
Btw - another T16KM joystick failed (that's 8?). :-(
Is that a 3d printed throttle you have next to you mac?
It’s called a “Move Master”
This looks like it could work for me too. Thanks.
How do you find the IKEA Markus office chair?
For the price it’s good.
Which Controller should i choose, if i have a Virpil base? There is no Virpil option :/
Which Gimbal did you have MT50 or WarBrd? They are listed as VPC
TheNOOBIFIER1337 Oh. Thank you!
and again, nice setup =)
nice - Monstertech is awesome
My ratty computer chair is not worthy of this engineering marvel
Yep, I'm sold
Heeeeeeeyyyy... you don't sit in a chair when you play! lol I have been wondering if I could use something like this actually to get them off my desk.
Is there enough expand ability for duel sticks and throttle?
Yes.
