Gulfstream GV-SP Cursor Control Device

The Gulfstream GV-SP uses an innovative MASON cursor control device that is beautifully integrated into this leather-clad armrest. Used for controlling optical screens and cursors, our device combines various pushbuttons, transducers, and rotary switches.

Cursor control devices and transducers can be used in a multitude of appications. The cursor controls respond to light finger pressure for accurate tracking in any direction. For more examples of MASON cursor control devices, look at our work on projects such as the V-22.
