    Aloha TW!

    I designed this SwitchPro 9100 Cradle and wanted to see hear everyone's thoughts as well as see if there's any interest if I were to offer them for sale?

    Goals:
    1. Mounting the SwitchPro controller in the center console area (I never liked the placement on the left of the steering wheel as half the buttons were blocked from driver's view and cannot be accessed from passenger side)
    2. Versatile mounting options and plays nice with RAM mounts
    3. Can be flipped over to mount onto the dash area with any flat track/RAM mount system (SwitchPro controller would be facing vertical)
    4. Adjustable angle by 20 degrees
    5. Controller snaps securely into the cradle; does not necessitate hardware
    6. Does not interfere with the controller bluetooth transmitter in the back
    I had already edited the design (not shown) to incorporate a slotted centerline opening on the mounting tab so it can be mounted with a single bolt/post, making it even more versatile.
    There is flex if you were to button smash, but did not notice any bounce while going through bumpy terrain.

    I applaud your ingenuity and your fabrication skills are quite good.

    Put me down for one. I don’t need one but it looks too cool to not have one.

    In the first and fourth picture, you'll see 2 screws holding the cradle in place. Essentially, same hardware used to mount a RAM ball mount
