Quick Start
The most important first steps
02
Understand the control principle
The grip control operates via the wrist. Do not perform any torsional movement.
03
Initial adjustment
Adjust buttons, grip height, and hand position as needed for your usage.
Basic functions
Covers grip control, button logic, reset, and basic operation.
Grip control
Movement is controlled via the wrist. By default, the main axes are mapped to WASD.
Thanks to finely tuned scaling in the tenth-of-a-millimeter range, extremely fast movements are possible. However, this sensitivity requires a short adjustment period.
Warning! Do not attempt to perform rotational movements with the grip! This function is not intended and may damage your MoveMaster.
USB and Reset
Since the MoveMaster occupies an additional USB port when connected to a PC, it includes a dual USB hub to provide extra connectivity options.
The reset button is located directly next to the USB hub and simulates turning the MoveMaster off and on. Use a pointed object to press the button through the opening.
Pressing the reset button may resolve issues such as: The configurator not responding, the MoveMaster not being recognized
Primary and secondary buttons
Since the grip is controlled solely via the wrist, all five fingers remain free to operate the 10 primary and secondary buttons simultaneously.
All 10 buttons are ergonomically arranged and partially height-adjustable.
Ergonomics and customization
The strength of the MoveMaster lies in its adaptability to hand, posture, and usage.
01
Adjust front secondary buttons
The front secondary buttons can be individually adjusted in height by up to 10 mm.
Use the included 3 mm hex key to loosen the fixing screw of the selected button by a maximum of two turns. Then adjust the height by carefully sliding the button.
Afterward, tighten the fixing screw again.
02
Adjust thumb button
The thumb secondary button can be individually adjusted in height, depth, and tilt.
Loosen the fixing screw with the included 3 mm hex key (max. two turns), adjust the position, and then tighten the screw again.
03
Adjust grip height
The grip can be adjusted by up to 8 mm.
To increase the height, turn the central screw in the grip counterclockwise using the included 3 mm hex key until the desired position is reached.
At maximum height, you will feel the screw skip.
To lower the grip, turn the screw clockwise.
04
Spacer and grip cover
Spacers can be used to increase the distance to the top. A maximum of two can be installed.
05
Desk positioning
Based on extensive long-term testing, the following positioning is recommended for optimal and fatigue-free use:
While your hand loosely holds the grip (depending on preference more with fingers or palm), your forearm should rest flat on the same level as the MoveMaster, ideally up to the elbow.
This relieves strain on the wrist and allows full use of the MoveMaster’s advantages. Use a comfortable surface.
The images show positioning for right-handed users.
Configurator
Installation, button mapping, double press, storage functions, and firmware updates explained clearly.
Installation
Download the installation file from the downloads page and follow the instructions.
Button mapping
After assigning all buttons, “Write configuration” saves the settings directly to the device.
Double press function
190 ms is a reasonable starting point. Enabling double press may introduce a slight delay.
Save and load
Configurations can be saved, loaded, and transferred directly.
Flash firmware
Firmware updates are triggered manually and are performed at your own risk.
ButtonCommander
The extension module expands the MoveMaster with additional freely assignable buttons.
Feature overview

Can the grip be rotated? +
No. Do not perform any torsional movements on the grip.
How do I find the correct desk position? +
Your forearm should rest as level as possible with the MoveMaster.
What is the configurator for? +
For button mapping, double press settings, configuration storage, and firmware updates.
Can I use the ButtonCommander separately? +
Yes, the ButtonCommander can also be used as a standalone button module.
What should I consider when flashing firmware? +
Firmware updates are performed at your own risk and should be carried out exactly according to the instructions.
