I also use track ir with my 3 monitor set up. There is no way my wife would let me set this up in the living room so I created a game room. Kinda off subject more to do with the recliner and comfort.

If we weren't moving early next year I'd set up something very similar lol.

Like I said, I like the set up of modern fighters with the joystick to the right and throttle, etc., to the left. I'm thinking recliner with small, heavy wooden tables to either side. Attach stick and quadrant to the tables with some kind of clamp (I know some have them built in). Keyboard could rest in the lap.

For expense and space, I actually like the idea of the smaller monitors to each side and a bit closer. Makes total sense.

I made a base using plywood, made it a foot wider or so than the width of my recliner on each side. Then I made 2 small tables using steel tubing and partical board. I skined the right one with my old wet suite for the mouse. then I bolted everything down. I have my keyboard mounted to a bracket that is attached to the left table but sitting about a foot above it at a 45 degree angle. I have my throttle and joystick mounted to plexiglass that is attached to the arms of my chair. My tower slides right under my right table. I had to make a swinging arm for my track ir due to the distance of my monitors. And yes your right about saving space with the 2 smaller monitors, I would have taken up the whole room with 3- 42 inch monitors. On second thought I coud have had 126 inches of monitor.............
