Abstract: The invention is a support stand for a joysticks and a keyboard to be used in connection with the joystick. A support base includes a clamping plate and top knobs for securing the base of the apparatus to a planar surface e.g. a desk. A support tray is held in pivotal connection to the base in connection with an tensioning means for adjusting the angle of the tray in relation to the base. The support base has a pair of raised surfaces, parallel to on another, for supporting a standard computer keyboard in a vertical position to position the keys of the keyboard in positions more accurately reflecting aircraft controls and other computer simulations.
