Is the adjustable taper control thumb controlled?

Yes, you gotta put a little but of umph into it, but it will switch to the shorter blade or vice versa, it's right there by the thumb. I'm 6'2" with big hands and found myself bringing my second hand up to the device to switch it. But it is meant to be thumb adjustable.

It has a swiveling tab that slips in between cogs, you can reach with your thumb. very secure but still easy to use!

It has a thumb lever to adjust lenghth and pitch but you should make sure the screw is tight before use.

Yes, this item does have adjustment capability. If you download the manual, you will be able to read the instructions on exactly how this can be done.

There's no thumb screw to lock the position. The tilt is, as you say, via a ratchet type click mechanism. There is a large phillips head screw and nut that can adjust tension on the tilt, but it won't lock it in position. I found it best at a moderately firm tightness, that allows the head to easily tilt without sagging.

Yes, speed is variable on this model. There is a rotary switch on the handle where your thumb naturally rests that is used to vary the rpm.

Sorry, I haven't clue as to the nature of the question. The control is a dip switch variety meaning it responds to the sequence of switch positions in that the control and the openner have to have the same sequence. Not rocket science.

No, thumb disc opening. S&W makes some assisted openers but this isn't one of them.

No, it's manual via the use of ambidextrous thumbstuds. The opening is smooth and gets smoother over time.

Not sure about that unless you mean the two thumb controllers that rotate sorta like a gyroscope. It also has a turbo feature.

No...in fact it can be adjusted for ease of use. Instructions diagram show two set screws that can be adjusted for opening and closing pressures.

Yes this paddle is easily adjusted on the fly after the initial set up. Great paddle I have had it about three months and love it. BTW, the initial adjustment requires no tools only a trust if the level to tighten it loosen the grip. I highly recommend this paddle.

Unfortunately no. I was however able to control it slightly through my EQ controls in iTunes.

YES, IT DOES. It's very simple. You press the button on top of the trimmer. Once you press the hand grip and the top button simultaneously, you NO LONGER have to hold down the top button with with your thumb. Once you release the hand grip, you must depress the top button again. This is a SAFETY measure, so the trimmer doesn't run without a contribution from the operator.

Yes, it is fully adjustable over a fairly wide range. There is a knob on one side that when loosened allows the head to be adjusted in small increments. When the right elevation is achieved, tightening the knob locks into place.
