Fly-by-wire vehicle systems and related user interface devices are provided for controlling operation of a vehicle, such as an aircraft. An exemplary user interface includes a first linkage and a second linkage coupled to the first linkage. The first linkage is actuatable about a first pivot point and the second linkage is actuatable about a second pivot point independent of actuation of the first linkage about the first pivot point. The user interface includes a sensing arrangement configurable to obtain a first orientation of the first linkage with respect to a first reference orientation associated with the first pivot point, obtain a second orientation of the second linkage with respect to a second reference orientation associated with the second pivot point, and determine an input command based at least in part on the first orientation and the second orientation.
