sidestick
Pilot's hand control
A sidestick is a control device in an aircraft cockpit, positioned beside the pilot's seat rather than between the legs like a traditional control column.
Sidesticks control pitch and roll through small hand movements: The Airbus A320 uses a sidestick instead of a yoke.
They save cockpit space and allow for larger instrument panels.
