Are there any simple alternative methods (im not skilled working with my hands) for mounting the Logitech/Saitek throttle quadrant to my desk without using it's C-clamp (which gets in the way of my keyboard tray)?

There are small threaded holes on the back and bottom of the quadrant you just need to drill holes thru your desk and attach . You can also use heavy duty Velcro with no issues.

Thanks FreeBird, was hoping for an option that wouldn't ruin my desk, however.

...will be trying some Nano products...ordered some tape and suction pads to test for this purpose.
