Multiple Input Devices are man-machine interface (MMI) controls with more than one input. Typical examples include:

FlyBoxes – stick, throttle and other devices (e.g. switches, trackballs) integrated in a single desk-top mounted box. Interface electronics are also integrated within the unit

Linked systems – stand alone controls such as stick and throttle linked through a common remote interface electronics box

Control consoles (see illustration) – small desktop and panel mount units with various controls (e.g. switches, joysticks and thumbwheels) with built-in interface electronics The advantages of Multiple Input Devices are that there is a single interface with the host system. This simplifies the interface and allows all the constituent parts to be purchased as a single "system". The customer is relieved of the task of ensuring all the input devices operate together. A range of common interface formats can be provided.

Applications include systems for simulators and simulation development stations, Unmanned Air Vehicle (UAV), Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) controls, camera controls and machinery/plant controls.

A range of products is available, however; most designs are custom built to meet specific customer requirements.
