Overview

The EG STARTS EG-XC-01 is a chair mount designed for flight simulation joysticks and throttles, allowing you to attach your HOTAS system directly to your gaming chair. This two-piece set provides a dedicated mounting point for both the stick and throttle, freeing up desk space and improving ergonomics during long flight sessions.
Each mount measures approximately 30 x 17 x 8 cm and weighs about 4.2 kg, offering a sturdy platform that can be adjusted in height (up to 6 inches) and tilted outward up to 45 degrees. The mount attaches to the armrest receiver of most gaming chairs using included screws, making installation straightforward without permanent modification.

Connectivity & Compatibility

The EG-XC-01 is compatible with a wide range of popular flight sticks and throttles, including Logitech G X56, X55, X52, X52 Pro, Thrustmaster T-Flight Hotas series, TCA, T.16000M, VKB Gunfighter Mk.III, VKB Gladiator, Virpil MongoosT-50, and many others. The mounting plate features multiple hole patterns to accommodate different devices.
Supported chairs include models from Arozzi (straight armrests), AKRacing, Boulies, DXRacer, Razer Enki/Iskur, Vertagear (racing series), and similar gaming chairs with standard armrest receiver slots. Chairs with curved or non-standard armrest designs may not be compatible. Always check your chair's armrest attachment point before purchasing.

Product Info

The EG STARTS EG-XC-01 is a third-party accessory sold primarily through online retailers. It is priced around ¥39,000 for the two-mount set, offering good value compared to first-party alternatives. The package includes two mounts, mounting screws, and a hex key. Warranty varies by seller but typically includes a 30-day return policy.
Positioned in the mid-range market, this mount provides a cost-effective solution for simmers who want a dedicated cockpit setup without investing in a full sim rig. It bridges the gap between basic desk clamps and expensive dedicated cockpits.

Best Use Cases

  • Flight sim enthusiasts with limited desk space: By moving the joystick and throttle to the chair, you reclaim valuable desk real estate for other peripherals or paperwork. Ideal for DCS World, Microsoft Flight Simulator, and IL-2 Sturmovik players who spend hours at the controls.
  • Users with multiple HOTAS devices: The wide compatibility allows you to mix and match sticks and throttles from different manufacturers. For example, you can mount a VKB stick on the right and a Thrustmaster throttle on the left without compatibility issues.
  • Gamers who also use their chair for office work: The mount is easily removable without tools, so you can switch between gaming and work mode in seconds. Simply slide it out of the armrest receiver when not needed.
    However, if your chair has non-standard armrests or you prefer a more permanent installation, consider dedicated sim rigs or desk-mounted solutions instead.
