I'm looking for a microphone stand with an adjustable scissor-like arm that can be fastened to the edge of my desk.
The problem is that I can't seem to find accurate measurements of those arms and the position and size of the screws.
I attached a size-accurate figure of my desk's profile. (I'm in Europe, I converted millimeters to inches and show both on the picture).

My question is: can I purchase a relatively cheap - around 20$ (converted, I'm in Europe, specifically Hungary) - microphone arm that will fit over this weird desk profile?
 
Solution
Something like this should work, https://thelashop.com/products/micr...-arm-desktop-stand-studio?variant=45214602122 the adjustments on it are very wide. As to what is is available in your area and in the price you want to pay, that depends on the shops you can buy from. With how well you diagrammed the desk it is a bit odd to me you could not find something to use already, it takes some skill to do the measuring and even more skill to diagram it like that.

Thanks!
Every microphone arm has a different gap between the screw and the end piece, and also they have different screw head sizes. As I don't know their measurements I don't know if they would fit on my desk, hence the diagram (and the post).

You need to either eyball it and estimate or contact the vendor or check the specs online, they sometimes list the width of the desk edge it can clamp to.
