Universal Freestanding Simulator Peripheral Stand Next Level Racing® Free Standing Keyboard & Mouse Stand The Next Level Racing® Free Standing Keyboard & Mouse Stand creates an ind ependent, adjustable workstation for keyboard and mouse control beside a racing cockpit, flight simulator, wheel stand, gaming chair, or custom simulator. Because it does not attach directly to the cockpit, it can be positioned for the user, moved between simulator stations, or pulled away when the controls are not needed. Universal Freestanding Design 68–88 cm Height Range Independent Tray Adjustment Keyboard & Mouse Mats Included i ProSimHQ Expert Insight A Practical Solution When a Cockpit-Mounted Tray Is Too Restrictive A cockpit-mounted keyboard tray can be convenient, but it also moves with the frame, may interfere with entry, and usually works only with one cockpit family. This freestanding design avoids those limitations and gives the user more control over height, reach, angle, and the relationship between the keyboard and mouse. We recommend it for mixed racing and flight simulators, commercial stations, shared rooms, VR setups, and custom cockpits where the keyboard needs to move independently from the simulator frame. What we like most: The mouse tray can sit beside the keyboard or below it, which makes the stand adaptable to both casual navigation and more sustained computer use. It also avoids locking the customer into one cockpit ecosystem. Independent Freestanding Positioning The stand is supported independently from the cockpit, allowing it to be placed beside, in front of, or partially over a compatible simulator setup. No Cockpit Attachment Required Works without drilling into or permanently modifying the simulator frame. Move Between Setups Reposition the stand between racing, flight, VR, and general gaming stations. Clearer Cockpit Entry Pull the stand away when entering or leaving the simulator. Independent Keyboard and Mouse Tray Adjustment The keyboard and mouse trays can be positioned independently for different body sizes, simulator types, and control preferences. Side-by-Side Layout Position the mouse beside the keyboard for a conventional desktop arrangement. Tiered Layout Place the mouse tray below the keyboard when a lower mouse position feels more natural. Angle Adjustment Refine the tray angle to reduce wrist strain and improve control access. Articulation and Reach Move the trays into position for seated racing, upright flight, or general gaming use. Height Adjustment and Leveling The stand adjusts from approximately 68 to 88 cm in height and includes adjustable feet for leveling on suitable floor surfaces. 68–88 cm Height Range Supports low racing positions, upright flight seating, and conventional gaming chairs. Adjustable Feet Help stabilize and level the stand on minor floor irregularities. Multi-User Flexibility Makes it easier to adapt a shared simulator for different users. Included Keyboard and Mouse Mats Dedicated Next Level Racing keyboard and mouse mats are included to create a more secure, finished control surface. Keyboard Mat Helps protect the tray and reduce unwanted keyboard movement. Mouse Mat Provides a consistent tracking surface without requiring a separate pad. Cable Management Cable-management routing is incorporated into the adjustment and twist-knob components to help organize keyboard and mouse wiring. Cleaner Peripheral Routing Helps keep USB and power cables away from the floor and cockpit entry area. Better Movement Control Organized cables are less likely to snag when the stand is repositioned. Leave enough cable slack for the full adjustment range and confirm that cables cannot be pinched by moving joints or adjustment knobs. Racing, Flight and Third-Party Compatibility Because the stand does not attach to the cockpit, it can be used with a broad range of simulator and gaming setups. Racing Cockpits Position it beside tube-frame, aluminum-profile, foldable, and custom racing rigs. Flight Simulators Useful for aircraft controls, navigation, communications, and software management. Wheel Stands and Gaming Chairs Provides a separate peripheral station without requiring a complete cockpit. Third-Party Simulators Works beside most brands when sufficient floor space and adjustment clearance are available. VR Setups Keeps keyboard and mouse controls accessible while the user remains seated. Commercial Stations Can be shared or repositioned between simulator bays as operational needs change. “Universal” refers to its freestanding placement. Confirm available floor space, tray reach, seat height, and clearance around the cockpit before ordering. Optional Lockable Caster Wheels Optional Next Level Racing Lockable Caster Wheels can be added when greater mobility is required. Faster Repositioning Roll the stand between simulator stations or move it away for storage. Lock Before Use Engage the caster locks before typing, gaming, or leaning on the trays. Caster wheels are sold separately and may raise the stand’s minimum and maximum working height. Who Is This Stand Best For? Mixed Racing and Flight Users One stand can serve several simulator types without permanent attachment. Commercial Simulator Centers Reposition the controls between customer stations and maintenance tasks. Compact Home Setups Move the stand away when the keyboard and mouse are not needed. VR Simulators Maintain access to menus, launchers, and desktop controls from the seat. Custom Cockpit Builders Avoid fabricating a cockpit-specific keyboard tray. Multi-User Environments Height and articulation adjustments accommodate different users and seating positions. Compare With a Cockpit-Mounted Keyboard Tray If Broad Compatibility Matters Most Choose this freestanding stand. If the Smallest Footprint Matters Most A cockpit-specific keyboard tray may occupy less independent floor space. If You Use Several Cockpits The freestanding design is easier to move and share. If You Want the Tray to Move With the Cockpit Choose a compatible cockpit-mounted tray instead.
