is an option for (RefLink[Manipulate, paclet:ref/Manipulate]), (RefLink[Graphics3D, paclet:ref/Graphics3D]), (RefLink[Plot3D, paclet:ref/Plot3D]), and related functions that specifies the default way that controls on an external controller device should apply.}})

With (RefLink[ControllerMethod, paclet:ref/ControllerMethod])->(RefLink[Automatic, paclet:ref/Automatic]), if no explicit associations are specified, successive variables in (RefLink[Manipulate, paclet:ref/Manipulate]) and (RefLink[ControllerManipulate, paclet:ref/ControllerManipulate]) will be associated with successive suitable controls on the controller device. If any explicit associations are specified, no automatic associations are used.

With (RefLink[ControllerMethod, paclet:ref/ControllerMethod])->(RefLink[None, paclet:ref/None]), no automatic associations are ever made.

With (RefLink[ControllerMethod, paclet:ref/ControllerMethod])->"Absolute", the default associations used for controller specifications such as "X" are absolute, rather than relative with an option for absolute.

Setting (RefLink[ControllerMethod, paclet:ref/ControllerMethod]) to "Absolute" forces absolute associations, rather than relative:
