Default vortech controller mounting?

Does anyone have a good way of mounting the controller? I hate the velcro or double sided tape method.

3M velcro is the best option, it allows you to remove the controller any time you need to.

I used velcro on the back, but I screwed a square of acrylic on the wood for it to stick to
You could try these mounts with some velcro on a 15' roll. It can be cut to length. Pricey stuff though

I'm gonna tag along for better ideas

You hate the 2 Best options. Maybe use zip ties, string, suspended from ceiling, floating in mid air via magic?
