Review on πŸ•ΉοΈ MEZA MOUNT-Desk Mount for Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog Joystick and Throttle- Complete with Installation Kit and Manual by Andy Syla

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great alternative to Monstertech!

I recently purchased a WinWing Orion F/A-18 HOTAS to fly. This solution "sits on the table" with the possibility of mounting. However, I had trouble finding a mounting solution. Enter MEZA Mounts. Since I didn't really want to lose $100 per mount, MEZA's solution offered a small saving over a comparable solution (in my opinion). I asked MEZA before purchasing if this mount would fit Orion HOTAS and they said no, another buyer said it would. I bought to know myself. To my surprise, it worked (with a little modification)! The joystick mount fits my Orion F/A-18 grip perfectly with no issues. Quick disconnect is a great feature! Throttle Bracket - Because the Winwing USB connector is centered on the throttle base, my throttle quadrant can't sit directly on the bracket. Do not be afraid! By tilting the throttle slightly to the side (as shown in the picture) I can install the throttle base. And to be honest, it makes the throttle a bit more ergonomic/comfortable for me in my setup! My only complaint is the rubber bumpers on the mounts themselves. They're either misaligned by MEZA or the adhesive is just substandard. Also, they could be "grippy"/"stickier" for my table (wooden table), but I'll come up with something. Overall a great product, I'm very happy with my purchase and haven't had any hiccups. Check out the photos to get a better impression!
