Likeem デスクマウント 2セット Flight Sim Game Joystick用アルミニウム製フライトスティックデスクマウントロジクール X56 X52 X52 Pro Thrustmaster T-Flight HOTAS T.16000M TCA用

This article takes a detailed look at Likeem デスクマウント 2セット Flight Sim Game Joystick用アルミニウム製フライトスティックデスクマウント ロジクール X56 X52 X52 Pro Thrustmaster T-Flight HOTAS T.16000M TCA用 — the Likeem two-piece aluminum desk mount kit for flight sticks and throttles.

The short version: this is for people who already own a HOTAS and have nowhere solid to put it. If your desk meets the clamp's requirements, it's one of the higher-impact upgrades per yen in a sim setup.

Overview

The Likeem desk mount is a pair of aluminum clamp arms that attach to the edge of your desk and hold a flight stick or throttle in place. Because you get two independent mounts, you can set separation, height, and fore/aft position for each hand rather than accepting whatever the desk surface allows.

The listed specs are simple: aluminum construction, black finish, Surface Mount (clamp-type) attachment, and adjustable height and fore/aft position.

The target user is someone currently flying with the HOTAS sitting loose on the desk, sliding under pressure or creeping toward them during a long session. Clamping the gear turns it from "a thing on a desk" into part of a cockpit, and posture and input precision both improve with no change of hardware.

If you fly once or twice a week for under an hour, non-slip pads may genuinely be enough. Treat this as a product for permanent or semi-permanent sim setups.

Compatibility Guide

The devices listed as supported, with no additional adapters required:

But finding your model on that list is only half the check. With clamp mounts, the desk decides the outcome more than the hardware does. Three things to verify.

First, desktop thickness. A clamp only tightens within a fixed range.

The exact supported range isn't stated in the data here, so confirm it on the product page before ordering. Very thick solid-wood tops and very thin tops both reduce clamping force.

Second, the underside of the desk edge. Many desks have a reinforcing frame or modesty panel just behind the edge, and the lower jaw of the clamp won't fit.

Reach under and feel whether the first few centimetres behind the edge are flat. This is invisible in product photos and is the single most common reason these mounts get returned.

Third, the material. Glass tops risk cracking under clamp pressure, and veneer or thin laminate will take permanent marks.

A rubber pad or a scrap of wood between clamp and desk is the practical fix.

Also note that models with large, heavy bases — Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS being the usual example — may overhang the mount's contact area. Compare the base plate's outer dimensions against the mount's platform before committing.

Product Info

Prices as captured. All are snapshots from the capture date and move with sales and exchange rates.

At roughly ￥11,000 in Japan for two mounts, that's about ￥5,500 per mount. The eBay figure of $33.99 looks dramatically lower depending on the exchange rate, which is plausible for a marketplace listing — but add shipping and import handling before concluding the domestic price is inflated. Landed cost often reverses the comparison.

On reviews: as captured on 2 July 2026, the product sits at 3.7 out of 5 stars across 34 reviews (74% positive).

That matters. It is clearly below the 4.5-plus territory of established sim accessories, and 34 reviews is a small sample.

For this category, low scores usually come down to two complaints: "it didn't fit my desk" and "less rigid than I expected." In other words, a meaningful share of the negative weight is likely desk mismatch recorded as a product flaw rather than a defect.

Clear the three checks above and your own experience should land above the average. That's an inference, though — read a few of the one- and two-star reviews yourself and see whether the complaints are about desks or about the mount.

The kit includes the mounts and clamps; no special tools are required, and screws are described as pre-installed. Warranty terms vary by seller, so check the retailer's return policy.

Best Use Cases

• First-time HOTAS owners. If you just bought an X52 or a T.16000M and it slides around, this is the fix, and tool-free installation keeps the barrier low.
• Anyone tuning stick/throttle separation. Two independent mounts let you replicate realistic spacing, which also helps if a narrow desk is cramping your elbows.
• Permanent sim setups. Wrist and shoulder load over a long flight depends heavily on device height; adjustable height and fore/aft position pay off most for people who fly for hours.
• Users planning to upgrade to VKB Gunfighter or Winwing Orion. The compatibility list reaches into higher-end gear, so the mounts may survive a hardware upgrade.

Things to Check Before Buying

The biggest pitfall is the desk, again. Modesty panels, glass tops, extremely thick tops, and heavily rounded edges all work against a clamp.

Measure the thickness and feel the underside before ordering. Skip that and you end up with a perfectly good product you cannot use.

Calibrate your rigidity expectations. Aluminum or not, a clamp mount at this price is not a dedicated steel sim rig.

Aggressive roll inputs or a force-feedback base's reaction loads may produce noticeable flex. If the goal is "stops sliding," this delivers; if the goal is "absolutely immovable," budget for a proper rig instead.

Be cautious with heavy, wide bases. The Warthog class isn't on the supported list, so treat it as unsupported unless you've measured.

A note on listing metadata. Retail pages for accessories like this sometimes carry inconsistent seller, fulfilment, or model information — here, for instance, a listing labelled Amazon US carries a yen price.

Before ordering, confirm from the product images and title that you're buying the right item (a two-piece kit, for flight stick mounting), and read the current price from the page itself. The figures above are snapshots only.

Who should skip it: people who fly a few times a month, renters who can't mark a supplied desk, anyone with a glass top, and anyone whose top priority is maximum rigidity.

FAQ

Q. Are tools required? A.

No. The listing describes tool-free installation — you tighten the clamp by hand, and screws come pre-installed.

Q. Do I need to drill my desk?
A. No. It's a Surface Mount clamp design that grips the desk edge, with no permanent modification.

Q. What are the two mounts for? A.

Typically one for the stick and one for the throttle. Using one and keeping the other as a spare is fine too.

Q. My stick isn't on the list — will it work? A.

It depends on the base's underside and fixing method. Treat unlisted models as unsupported and check the mounting details on the product page first.

Q. Can I remove it when not flying?
A. Yes. The clamp design is meant for quick removal and storage between sessions.

Q. Why is the rating only 3.7 stars? A.

3.7 out of 5 across 34 reviews as captured in July 2026.

The sample is small, and some of the negative weight likely reflects desk incompatibility rather than the product itself. Read a few negative reviews to judge which.
