In a general aspect, a handheld controller device includes a housing and a trigger assembly. The housing is configured to be held in the hands of a user. The trigger assembly includes a pair of triggers extending outward from a side of the handheld controller device and configured to move along respective trigger paths. A coupling assembly is disposed inside the housing and connected to the pair of triggers. The coupling assembly is configured to transfer motion between the pair of triggers such that, when either of the triggers moves towards the housing along its respective trigger path, the coupling assembly moves the other trigger an equal distance away from the housing along its trigger path. Circuitry in the housing includes one or more sensors and a microcontroller configured to receive sensor signals and, in response, generate aircraft control data (e.g., for a flight simulation or remotely controlled flyable aircraft).
