An apparatus for supporting a signaling device such as the controller for a video game, comprising: 1) a support member capable of being bent, twisted or otherwise placed into a plurality of positions; 2) a base configured so that it may be affixed to a chair, the base being adapted for connection to one end of the support member; and 3) a platform connected to the other end of the support member. Additionally, it is advantageous to provide some way for ensuring that a signaling device will not slip off the platform. The support member is made of steel or some other sturdy material, and resists compressive loads in a direction parallel to its longitudinal axis. A preferred support member is a so-called flexible tube, which really is a pair of coiled wires that are intimately wrapped together. It is provided with appropriate connectors at each end-to foster easy connection with other elements. A preferred base is relatively flat and unobtrusive, and is configured so that it can easily be mounted to some structural part of a chair, usually along a frontal surface of a chair's seat. A preferred platform is generally planar, and ideally is relatively thin, having a thickness of one-quarter inch or less; a small platform will typically have a support area of about nine square inches. A fastener of the hook-and-loop type, is used to attach a control device to the top of a platform.
