Expanding the company's range of standard multi-function grips and using the latest in switch technology, the MFGS3 can incorporate five momentary switches and two optional rockers.
The complete MFGS3 assembly consists of housing, cable, momentary and rocker switches with PCB.

For improved ergonomic performance, the MFGS3 handle features soft-touch over-molding and an adjustable palm-rest to fit any size hand.
