1. A computer-implemented method for linking input control signals, comprising:

  • receiving a first force signal corresponding directly to a first force applied to a first controller;

    receiving a second force signal corresponding directly to a second force applied to the second controller;

    linking the first force signal and the second force signal;

    after linking the first and second force signals, directing a first position demand signal to a first servo motor to move the first controller to a first controller position, and directing a second position demand signal to a second controller to move the second controller to a second servo motor position, the first controller having a first neutral position, the first controller position being displaced from the first neutral position by a first distance, the second controller having a second neutral position, the second controller position being displaced from the second neutral position by a second distance at least approximately equal to the first distance; and

    directing a control signal to a controlled device based on at least one of the first and second force signals.
