has a thumb slide for manual application, like the old hydraulic ones did. Previously used the Commander with the row of leds and push button for manual application. The leds gave a better indication of the amount of current being applied to the brakes but the push button can't be controlled. The longer you hold the button, the more current it supplies until lock up. Let go of the button and they turn off completely, thus you can't "hold" a minimal amount of brake to eliminate sway etc. The Voyagers LED changes color to indicate the amount of current being supplied to the brakes. About $80 at UHaul, Commander is about $125.
