Sorry, no. Not even the Clans have "direct" neurohelmet control. They experimented with the direct interface tattoo stuff, but it drove the pilots insane and they stopped development. In any case that was nearly 100 years after the Timbie came along, so real buttons it is.
I thought the clans did always use direct neurohelmets and as you said it drove them crazy.That was why they constantly kept twicking with genetics to create the ultimate warrior who could withstand the helmet along all other traits..Of course this tech is developing and didn't show up from the start..As for the tattoo things, from my point of view they represent the input to the head just as a serial port in a pc or a patch in the chest for an ecg..I am just commenting to see other opinions on this side of tech ..
You are doing an awesome job..
