An easy and cheap method to mount a HOTAS setup to your chair using pole mounting brackets and velcro.
I am using this setup to play Elite: Dangerous and other flight based games in virtual reality with the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift headsets. I used a medium-backed chair for better VR cord management and head movement.
These are the parts I used:
Chair:
Mount (x2):
or this alternate mount (single joint):
USB extension cable:
Industrial strength Velcro:
x52 Pro HOTAS flight sticks:
Cord management (x2):
I set this up to play Elite: Dangerous in VR, for extra immersion and convenience. You can see some VR footage starting at 15:49 using the complete setup. In this video I’m using the HTC Vive, but I have also used the Oculus Rift and I think they’re both great headsets.
Check out the HTC Vive on Amazon:
Check out the Oculus Rift on Amazon:
For added immersion I did end up getting a SubPac M2 backpack. It adds a tactile response to the rumbling of your ship, and thanks to the amazing sound design of Elite: Dangerous it gives every different action in your ship a different feeling, crazy immersive in VR!
Check out my video review of the SubPac M2 backpack using this same HOTAS mounted chair:

im sitting in that same chair now, guess that something i wont need to buy.
Bit late to the party but that mount is sold out everywhere 🙁 Anyone got a replacement product in 2020?
fuken awesome!!!!
Is there a way to do this so that the forearm will rest on the armrest or is it comfortable having to raise your wrist 5 inches high off the rest to hold the joystick?
Clean and cheap!
Clever, nice job.
Hey since I have to use those scissors, can I get them when you're done?
Can someone post a link to the brackets?
As we can see it is in line with your arm 😂😂😂 how would we be able to tell that
CV1 oculus touch controllers work great too. I'm definitely going to try this set up though. Thanks for sharing
I'll stick with my Monstertech chair mounts.
Thanks so much for posting this!!! I just got these In 2 days ago, had to use a rubber washer to fill a gap to get it tight, but it’s great I love it!! Was a bit difficult to find the mounts now though as amazon no longer carries them. I found them on NewArk for $24 each!!
This guy living in 3020
Great vid 👍

Beauty! Will start chairhunting this weekend.
I wish I wasn’t so poor
Finding the right chair is essential. Mine ended up being too narrow and just sitting down was a bit awkward. Glad yours worked out well. Nice video. Thanks, See you in the dark, o7 Cmdr.
I have a patent on a similar system. www.gamechair.net My system allows the devices to slide and pivot and you can add devices as necessary. I presently have 9 devices on my chair.
I need vr right about now.
Thanks for the video! you just reminded me I have a detachable keyboard tray that would be perfect for this job. hopefully it works! cheers!
With proper seat it would be quite good 👍
Very interesting! I would not have thought about that at all! Great tip!
thats some next level immersion bro
do you know a mount that would work with the other chair?
Thank you man !!!
After 3 years how has this worked out for you? Would really appreciate a reply back. Especially on the durability of long time use(did the mounts start to slip at all on the chair arms?) Looking to do this for Star Citizen and this would be a great long term use.
Great video. Can you post a link to a no hold back non-burner chair. I'm looking for a perfect optimal chair for this game.
Not for elite dangerous for me but ok
You can also consider putting some memory foam pads on the arm rests; that should raise your arms up a bit as well as be more comfortable.
Great review!
Thank you for saving some money with these mounts to the other more expansive solutions! I will use theses since my cheer has the same arm rests!thanx!
ordered mine, got the white one as it was 30$ cheaper than the black one. LOL
It is a side stick
I bolted a piece of wood to my armrest like on your gaming chair for my g13.
i see your your a fan of asp..s
Pity for cam focus…. but this is really the best solution i have ever seen!
Hey Man, … What A Good Idea….
Just What i was Looking for …
But whats up with you though ?
What made you so upset and/or agitated during the making of this video ?
which usb hub did you use? Does it need to have a power source too, for the joystick to work properly? I have the same setup but also with keyboard and mouse, my cords are running across to my pc and I just realized I should get one of those. lol but I there're so many.
Can you please tell where the heck did you get those mounts from?
Can you please give me specific names so that I can look for it, Thanks!
