I want to use this product to hold my HOTAS Joystick and Throttle. Do you think the mouse pads/ arm rests on both sides are sturdy enough?

Yes, I think they would be strong enough. However, the first two mobo's that they sent me had broken hinges on the left mouse pad. Just a heads up.

I am sorry I am not familiar with such joystick, however the mouse pads area is not sturdy at all, in fact one of mine broke after a few months and they made me pay for a replacement.

No they're not sturdy enough, it's even too shaky to hold my wireless keyboard steady since it's heavier than wired keyboards. It may be because my computer chair has curved arm rests, but I even have to stay mindful of the mouse so it wouldn't fall off every time I let it go.

I bought the Rollermouse Red because the palm support pad is of the right size for the keyboard tray. It provided adequate support. The Rollermouse Red Plus pad would have been too big for my setup.

Yea, i was considering making some kind of armrest/heat shield there. Might help to use the shoulder strap, but i hate using them.

The arms is really quite sturdy, but I don't know if it will be able to handle the weight or the flexibility that you may require. I am using it with 24" screens and they are great.

Yes it can because the handle is twisted for either side. It's even on both sides and it works for me on both hands. Take a look here, https://forums.robertsspaceindustries.com/discussion/60979/help-saitek-cyborg-v1-flight-stick-or-thrustmaster-t-flight-hotas-x-joystick

I think it would be fine for left handers. I bought my grandson a custom built computer with the mouse and a razer gaming keyboard and a 24" screen. He loves every piece. He said the mouse has buttons on the sides. He doesn't see a problem with a left hander using without any trouble.

I would be hesitant to try this for two reasons. One, I don't see there being enough room to do this and leave reasonable space to navigate the mouse. The second, and maybe more important, I would not really "rest" my hand or wrist on this. I don't think it would bear any real weight at all without placing stress on the armature.

It is a fairly steady device but if you are expecting to put your full weight against it laterally at the top, I don't think it will hold that. I It is a friction mount and will pull loose with enough force. Best for stability and steadying use.

Yes, my laptop is bigger and I can attach a mouse ... not tons of room for my bigger laptop but enough ... so yours should be fine.

Which surface are you talking about? The outer surface where you rest your hand? I imagine with enough time it would. I have only had mine a few months, and have never used or touched the other one. Seems pretty sturdy so far.

No. This mouse pad is just a sheet of fabric. It will bend if not supported, and won't work well on an uneven surface.

Like Lloyd said, you could use a Velcro strap to help hold everything in place. My only concern is that the pegs that hold the laptop in place at the bottom are only about an inch high, so the laptop would only be sitting on your cooling pad. The cooling pad could be easily secured to the tray, but your laptop would just be hanging out on top of the cooling pad unless you secured it with Velcro or something. The Ergotron tray and arm are plenty strong enough, just depends on how you secure things.

This is exactly what I did, but you'll need to modify them slightly. I got two gear shift holders, the base on the gear shift holders is too small for a flight stick / throttle to sit on so what I did was cut some particle board, drilled holes in it so I can mount it on top of the gear shift holders, laid some black leather (from hobby lobby) across the wood (to make it match seat) and then put some plexiglass pieces on top of it so my throttle/stick suction cups have something to stick onto. Overall it works GREAT. Used it to for Ace Combat 6, Hawxx, and many other PC flight sims.

The mouse pad is dual sided where it's kinda rugged on one side (kind of like a conventional mouse pad only with about twice the space.) The other side (which is my preferred side) is flat and smooth and allows the mouse to glide freely and so far as I can tell it's been pretty accurate. So I would say yes it would work. Hope this helps!

Yes..This mouse pad has a hard surface on top and it is stacked with padding underneath. It is good mousemate.

I think it would probably be a bit too small for that. I have a full-sized keyboard (including numeric keypad) and a Logitech trackball-type controller, and there's plenty of room for that, but I know I could not fit a typical mouse pad on there.

Hi there! I am 5' 4'' and I found the mouse pad to be entirely too high and so removed it. The arm rest part itself is fine, although now I have to compensate for the little metal post that sticks up where the mouse pad is supposed to go. I recommend getting the one without the mouse pad. After that, it's just a matter of attaching the device to your desk.
