Storage for Peripherals

I’m currently looking for a solution to storage my flight peripherals when I’m not using my PC for flight simming. I currently have
Honeycomb Alpha Yoke
Honeycomb Bravo Throttle
TCA Boeing Yoke
TCA Airbus Flight Stick

As they take up a lot of space I need some form of storage box for them. I could use the original boxes but I’m looking for something more durable. Like a bespoke made plastic case so they will last a long time.

Has anyone else tried this?

No, I leave all mine set up. Sounds a pain to disassemble and reassemble everything constantly :slight_smile:

What about some stackable storage boxes though? In the UK we have a brand called Really Useful Box which are good quality, various sizes and have good closing lids (strong clips). You can get various colours instead of clear so it looks less cluttered if they are stacked in sight in your room (black = not see-through for example) but they are quite expensive for a bit of plastic, lol.

You can get bespoke dust covers for the Honeycomb gear (check eBay) but not seen bespoke hard storage just for those things.

Not wanting to sound too simplistic, but ikea has a great variety of boxes that you can store where you want.

You can visit the Ikea cafateria, browse through the catalog while enjoying their Swedish Meatballs. It’s a win win.

build a shelf.

This is my set up:

Mounted everything to a board with handles. Left to right:

  • Razer Tartarus (since replaced with a Stream Deck)
  • Alpha with X-Touch Mini on top
  • Arduino with 2x dual encoders
  • Bravo mounted a few inches above the board for clearance
  • a stout USB hub tucked under the Bravo.

The whole works gets clamped to my desk and I just plug in two cables (rudder pedals into the hub and the hub to the PC) and I’m ready to go. When I’m done playing with my toy airplanes, I unplug the two cables, unclamp the board, and move everything to a shelf behind me in a few seconds.

I just use a small shelf system to store my peripherals on, nothing fancy but everything is setup and positioned so that I can switch between working, yoke/throttle, HOTAS, and driving in under 5 minutes.

Wellllllllll… i remember this thing:

Search Etsy for honeycomb storage, and you will find a wall mount storage solution, as well as all kinds of other accessories for the honeycomb controls

Until I got a separate desk for my flight deck, I used to use a flight stand to which my Alpha, Bravo and other flight gear were attached, including a powered USB hub. I could pull that out of the way and into a corner when using my PC for other stuff. When I wanted to fly, I would pull my flight stand up to my desk, connect the USB cable to the hub, connect the power cable for the hub’s power brick, and I was ready to fly.
