I built this a while ago (poor mans battle station) along with an updated TrackIR stand. If you can't weld, some high schools still have metal shops and you can have one made cheap.
No accidental keystrokes anymore. Well..... not completely fool proof.
It slides back for storage and a little velcro just holds it in place for easy removal when typing is needed.
Drill holes in cross bars and screw to bottom of desk. The fuzzy side from velcro attached to the inside slide will make the support snug.
If anyone is interested I will post more in depth instructions.
The TrackIR post just zip-ties to the monitor cross brace. It was just leftover material.
As a bonus..... A future project.
Make friends with the local police or their mechanic. These are some of the parts I stripped from decommissioned cruisers. The best part is that these are extremely well built. The laptop stand weighs about 20 pounds ( about 9 kilos ). I plan to use them to make a better sim seat than what I have.
The Warthog brackets are too flimsy for my taste.
I figure if I weld a frame together with the two large boxes in a u shape that rolls backwards away from the chair, it should relieve a lot of the problems.
