- VPC Control Panels Adapter — for Control Panel #1, #2, #3
- VPC Keyboard Mount Adapter — for keyboard mounting
How it all connects
The VIRPIL Mount System
Every VIRPIL mount setup needs three layers — a mount, an adapter plate, and the hardware. You can't skip the adapter: hardware doesn't bolt directly to the mount arm. The three layers work across all setup types: desk, chair, and collective-mounted panel.
Choose your mount type
The Desk Mount (long or short arm) clamps to your desk edge — accommodating desk thicknesses from 9 mm to 65 mm using the included 20/40/60 mm bolt sets. The arm height and angle are adjustable. The Chair Mount bolts to your existing chair base for collective helicopter setups. The Collective Panel Mount Adapter clips to the arm of a Rotor TCS base for panel mounting.
You must choose an adapter plate
Hardware doesn't bolt directly to the mount arm — you need the specific adapter for what you're attaching. The WarBRD/CM3 Base Adapter bolts to the underside of your joystick base. The Control Panel Adapter mounts to the side of the desk mount arm. The Collective Base Chair Adapter has front and rear plates that fasten to your chair base.
Your joystick base, panel, or collective
Once the mount and adapter are in place, your hardware slots in. Joystick bases (WarBRD-D, MongoosT-50CM3), Control Panels (#1, #2, #3), and Rotor TCS collective bases all require their matching adapter plate. The same desk mount arm can hold a joystick base on top and a control panel on the side simultaneously via two separate adapters.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a separate adapter to use the Desk Mount Mini?+
Yes — without exception. The Desk Mount Mini does not accept hardware directly onto the arm. You need the specific adapter for what you are attaching: the VPC Control Panels Adapter for Control Panel #1, #2, or #3, or the VPC Keyboard Mount Adapter for keyboard mounting. Both adapters are sold separately. If you are unsure which adapter you need, call us on 0488 385 870 and we will confirm before you order.
Can I mount a flightstick or throttle on the Desk Mount Mini?+
No — the Desk Mount Mini is not designed for flightstick bases or throttles. For mounting a WarBRD-D, MongoosT-50CM3, or VMAX Prime Throttle you need the VPC Desk Mount S (Short) or VPC Desk Mount L (Long). The Mini is specifically for VPC Control Panels and the Keyboard Mount Adapter.
What desk thicknesses does the Desk Mount Mini support?+
The Desk Mount Mini accommodates desk thicknesses from 9 mm to 63 mm. Three bolt lengths are included — 20 mm, 40 mm, and 60 mm — to match your desk thickness. The clamp assembly can also be adjusted for height.
What is the quick-release clamp and how does it work?+
The V3 Desk Mount features a quick-release clamp mechanism that lets you remove the entire mount from your desk in seconds without tools. Clamp it on when you're flying, release it when you need your desk back — switching between work and sim in seconds.
Can I attach a Control Panel and something else to the same Mini mount?+
The Mini is a single-use mount — it holds one adapter at a time. If you want to mount a joystick base and a Control Panel on the same arm simultaneously, you need the VPC Desk Mount S or L, which accepts a joystick base adapter on top and a Control Panel adapter on the side at the same time.
Is the Desk Mount Mini covered by a warranty?+
Yes — all VIRPIL products are backed by a 2-year manufacturer warranty. As the official Australian VIRPIL distributor, Player1 Sim Gear handles your warranty claim locally — no international shipping required. If you have an issue, call us on 0488 385 870 or submit a support ticket.
Why buy from Player1 Sim Gear rather than directly from VIRPIL overseas?+
Player1 Sim Gear is the official VIRPIL distributor for Australia and New Zealand. Buying from us means your warranty is honoured locally, you receive a valid Australian GST tax invoice, you're protected under Australian Consumer Law, and you can call a real person on 0488 385 870 if anything goes wrong. No international shipping for warranty claims, no grey-market complications.
