Sim racing · head‑to‑head
We are looking at two entirely different upgrades for your sim rig: the Next Level Racing Free Standing Keyboard and Mouse Stand for utility, and the Trak Racer TR120 Front Frame with Brackets and Brand for structural reinforcement. Your choice depends entirely on whether you need to access your peripherals or stiffen up your aluminum profile chassis.
The Next Level Racing stand suffers from clumsy articulation that can block your mouse or collide with your wheel stand. Meanwhile, Trak Racer's front frame is notorious for missing hardware, incorrect bolt lengths, and highly frustrating assembly instructions.
The Next Level Racing stand is completely universal and works with any cockpit. The Trak Racer TR120 Front Frame is highly specific, designed only for 120mm x 40mm aluminum rigs with threaded profile ends.
If you need a heavy-duty, wobble-free station for your keyboard and mouse, the Next Level Racing stand is a solid but expensive choice despite its clumsy adjustment range. If you are looking to eliminate flex in your Trak Racer TR120 chassis, the TR120 Front Frame is an incredibly rigid upgrade, provided you are prepared to handle missing hardware and poor instructions.
