I don't have a cockpit but I'm thinking buying a music stand to sit my keyboard on when racing so it's at a height where i can see the keys etc. What do you think?

Thanks man. I spent a stupid amount of time trying to find something like this. I had found them in Louth as well but they didn't have them in stock at the time so I had to go with Amazon. Heres the Irish link. http://soundshop.ie/product/stagg/mus-arm-1-small-music-stand-with-arm-clampNice job @Juris i need to get something like this for my rig.
Im using a foot stool at the moment which gets in the way.
I didnt know you were irish as well
Which stand are you using Jim. I'll see if I can find something that would suit better.They look really good but my stand is not really designed for those.
It's this one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/161394005758Which stand are you using Jim. I'll see if I can find something that would suit better.
Hi Juris, i like your knob. Could you point me in the direction of that. I did get a sparco one but it did not work that great on the TH8RS.Not sure if this will help you but this is what I did with my GT Omega Wheelstand. I know you don't have a rig but these could possibly be mounted to a desk. The stands are these cheap Stagg MUS-ARM 1's. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Stagg-MUS-ARM-Small-Music-Stand/dp/B000OR7X1S/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1408623624&sr=8-1&keywords=mus arm1 . I'm from Ireland so they definitely will ship to Northern Ireland.
The perforations mean you can hide cabling behind the stand or use then for ties etc. The stand tops can also be removed when not in use to store and save space. I'm going to throw 2 tablets on top of them for telemetry once I finish my main PC build and they should take an 8" tablet each.

Eh cheers. I've never had a man say that to me before. Kinda worried . Heres the link. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/301112254647?_trksid=p2059210.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:ITHi Juris, i like your knob. Could you point me in the direction of that.

Jim what type of Keyboard are you using. I'm running a Logitech K810 which is a bit smaller than a full one with keypad. Wondering if it was small enough would a tablet holder on a gooseneck suit?It's this one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/161394005758
I may just buy a laptop table from Argos or somewhere. It doesn't have to be anything special just somewhere to use the kb at a higher level.
Sorry Juris i'm just in one of them moods today, don't get too excited. Thanks for link, i will get one ordered and follow your instructions. As for Jim's question I use one of these and just fold it away when I don't need it.Eh cheers. I've never had a man say that to me before. Kinda worried .

I am looking for something similar for my rig - I may give that music stand a go. I can always find a way to clamp the keyboard to it.
It's just a sturdy, metal computer desk with the perforations allowing me to bolt things to it. I attached a slab of wood under the perforated shelf to add weight and give the wheel something solid to grip on.
Only thing I'm struggling with is how to get the keyboard to stay put
