The MANUS (Manual Action Natural Ubiquitous hand-control units contain a large number of controls and can be customised based on the user's needs at the point of manufacture. Depicted is a typical unit based on two identical mirrored units for frame or vehicle operation, which includes…
Lateral 3 axis throttle base, capable of motion along the X axis (left to right), Z axis (forward and back) and rotation on the X axis (left and right).
Stationary input sticks – while they don't move, they detect pressure changes and have analogue travel, whereas most sticks only have digital 8-way travel and are analogue only in direction.
4 capacitive 8-way activation switches (36 total functions per unit)
Regulation/Adjustment sliders (3 per side)
Master-Arm toggle
Mode Toggles
Display (removable)
Bumper with mouse-wheel for weapons-selection
Trigger with reverse toggle for inverse action
Three macro-buttons (typically the top is used for firing, not the trigger, which is used for thruster or throttle control)
Twin-direction reversal toggle at base which can either be pulled with the pinkie or pushed away.
