I’m not the OP but I also use this design

This works really well as a tabletop/desk mount. A few points I would add
-
Do yourself a favor and make sure to get the cheapo plastic suction cup handles. This way you can quickly and easily drill it out with a standard set of bits. For those who are less versed in the power drill arts, put some painter’s/masking tape on the handle where you want to drill your hole, mark it, and then use a screw or even better your trusty hand awl to start the hole just enough for your drill bit to grab onto. Pilot holes are your friend and work your way up to the final gauge. The handle is hollow so you’ll do this on both sides. The top hole will be larger than the one on the underside.

In the picture the gooseneck has the male end in the handle with the female end on the Handy. This should be reversed.
-
For mounting the gooseneck onto the handle, a simple tabletop gooseneck microphone mount can be used as a bolt. The mount I use is just a small disk with a threaded bolt on top for the gooseneck.

Get yourself a second 19" gooseneck. Now you have the option for just the necessary length needed for tabletop use or connect them together for even more adjustability. With two 19" goosenecks you can easily use the Handy while lying down. Just place the handle underneath your legs and bend the neck back over itself towards you for any angle you like. In this manner the Handy is oriented in its intended direction of use with the buttons facing towards you. This also allows you to hang a blanket over it without interfering with the actuator. For making the handle more comfortable, pull a sock over each suction cup and stuff a sponge in there for some cushion.

Making sure the gooseneck is oriented the correct way will also allow you to use other mounts and stands. Remove the Handy mounted gooseneck from the handle or its extension and you can attach that end directly to any mic stand. If you use an extendable mic stand, you can position the arm horizontally above you with the Handy hanging down vertically. If you get an adapter you can also mount the gooseneck onto any photo tripod. I can’t remember what the thread sizes are at the moment, but it’s just the standard photo tripod threads and the standard mic stand threads.
Shoutout to whoever u/IRLanon is for this great design. Cheap, easy, and effective. I’m very grateful they shared this.
