DIY Gaming accessories.
So I have a Thrustmaster Warthog. I like it. I have added the FSSB force-sensitive base to it and it is now truly awesome.
However ... the FSSB requires enough force that actually mounting the stick to something became necessary. I didn't want to drill holes in the computer table, and that would not have been an optimal spot ergonomically anyway. So, I spent some time with my welder and some angle steel. This took a remarkable amount of time for what it is. Figuring out the necessary measurements so that I could somewhat accurately locate the mounting positions for the throttle and stick in 3d space was challenging.
I made no modifications to the chair, this bracket simply bolts on with the 6 existing bolts used to attach the seat to the base.

I clamp the G27 to my keyboard tray because the desk is too high, and then I put vice grips on the sliders to prevent it from moving. Thankfully on carpet so the office chair doesnt roll around. But now I'm quickly starting to have more stock miata seats than I know what to do with. I think if I can get an occulus rift I'll just build a sim seat.
