High quality and customisable, but wobbly
The media could not be loaded. Installed it on a Secret Lab Omega 2020, alongside the center joystick mount from the same brand. Both are well compatible with the chair and with each other.The product feels of a good quality. All-metal construction, nicely painted. The included mounts (rails, universal plate, a10c plate) make it possible to mount practically anything, albeit you might end up with the parts of the mount sticking out of the joystick/throttle (see how the rails extend way beyond the TWCS on the photo). I'm happy with the available adjustements (height, fwd/aft at the top bars), but if you would want to move the vertical bar fwd/aft that would be a bit tricky.The resulting setup is a bit clumsy: the chair has to be moved very carefully not to hit anything with the mounts. Cable management might be tricky. It is not specific to this particular product but to the general concept of chair mounts. I guess there'd be a different set of trade-offs if you go with desk mounts, so choose carefully.Removing the top part of the mounts from the chair and turning it back into an (almost) regular office chair is fast and easy (4 bolts), with the vertical bars only slightly extending beyond the chair dimensions.I got an extra under-chair mount plate in my box... I guess this means someone else didn't get one :(As others have already noted, there is some wobbliness due to the way the topmost (removable) part is mounted, see the video. I didn't find it too much of an issue when using a throttle, but I guess it could be worse if you use a stick. I suspect there might be some easy (and ugly) mitigation like sticking some toothpicks in the gap between the parts.

A good and hard to find idea but with some flaws that you will need to overcome
Well I have this working nice with my Razer Gaming chair but a few thing to mention and must do mods follow :1 st off : the longer replacement chair arm securing screws they gave to go under my Razer Chair were not the right thread for the chair and so I had to use the existing screws that were still just about long enough to do that job thankfully. 2nd off : The two parts that go down inside another two parts and that hold the mounts for the joystick are loose and so I had to fix that. I fixed that by cutting and running the rough sided velcro strips around the outside of the parts to be inserted to provide a snug fit when inserted and that worked well. Last of all upon assembly completion and my hotas x56 gear mounted I found that the kit provided here was unstable in practical use and so I then realised that if I could in some way attach the upward stems of the support arms to the bottom of the actual chair arms then it would all be far more stable and so I tried to think of a good way to do this and in the end I used a couple of flat bracing metal plates about the same length as I needed that had some holes for screws/bolts along them ( they kinda look like a piece of mechano ) and I would then bolt one end of those to the upward joystick mounting arm through a spare hole left there and then lashed the other end with strong cable ties to the bottom of the supporting arm of the actual chair and after that ..... yeah all totally usable now.I think that the manufacturer needs to provide some king of adjustable stability arms to do what I had to do and also sort out the loose fitting parts either in the manufacturing end or just to provide some kind of sticky tape/velcro etc to make those a snug fitI still give 3 stars because, although a bit expensive for what it is, the parts provided are made well enough and this kit is the only way to do this that I found

the wobble is real
Comes with absolutely everything needed to mount to most chairs, and to mount all the various hotas systems it supports (although my x56 only just fits..it's right at the adjustability limit of the plates) exactly as advertised (was difficult to mount to my secret lab chair however as it uses three not four bolts to mount it's arms and while you *could* do this yourself you might need an extra pair of hands to hold the chair arms and mount brackets together while you line them up and bolt them on)The only downside to the whole system is that as a consequence of it's adjustability there is quite a large tolerance at the point where the two armatures connect (in much the same way 4D armrests tend to wobble) and while this can be easily solved with some sticky back velcro or some thick electrical tape (or even a couple of guitar plectrums) it really is a staggering amount of wobble at the ends of the plates furthest from this point, if you have a stick with a rotation axis using it is gonna be hard unless you can stabilise the connection.This out of the box wobble, takes away from what would otherwise be an excellent product at a very reasonable price compared to it's competition, however if you can jury rig a means of stabilising it it's great

Decent build quality at fair price
Well worth the price, not had any of the issues (so far) that I’ve seen on some reviews regards being wobbly or anything. I’m playing on these with VKB Gladiators using the standard 20lb springs but wouldn’t say I’m particularly heavy on them. Fit great on my generic Chinese made gaming chair.

Disappointing so it was returned.
Didn't fit well very on my chair and was a tad wobbly. Returned item and bought a couple of desk mounts instead which were cheaper.

Its pretty wobbly
Its all solid metal so it is strong however it is extremely wobbly. i had to use velcro as someone else suggested to mininmise the wobble. For the price i cant really say that its worth it, if it had a quick release system and didn't require modification the price would be acceptable but as it stands i couldn't recommend it.
