Fanatec CSL Cockpit Keyboard Holder

Pair of padded hooks that store a keyboard or gamepad on the CSL Cockpit

Description

The Fanatec CSL Cockpit Keyboard Holder is a set of two hooks that keep a keyboard or gamepad on the CSL Cockpit instead of on the floor.

Mounting. The hooks install anywhere along the CSL Cockpit main frame or on the optional CSL Cockpit Shelf (sold separately), in many different positions.

Devices. They hold most keyboards as a pair, and each hook can also carry a gamepad; the hook has a gap so a charging cable can stay connected.

Protection. Padded surfaces protect your devices and absorb force feedback vibration coming through the rig.

Note: this is a storage holder, not a typing tray. For a keyboard you use while seated in a GT Cockpit, see the GT Cockpit Keyboard Tray.

Driving style

The CSL Cockpit Keyboard Holder is for CSL Cockpit owners who need a keyboard or controller within reach between sessions: PC racers in iRacing, Assetto Corsa Competizione or rFactor 2 who use the keyboard for menus and setups, and console players in Gran Turismo 7 or Forza Motorsport who keep a gamepad for navigation.

Best for keeping a tidy CSL Cockpit with peripherals stored on the rig; less suited for drivers who need to type or use a mouse while seated, who will want a proper keyboard tray instead.
