I think those "bumps" are the hand rest for the trackball and buttons in front of them.

Just had a thought!!

If the co-pilot is predominantly left-handed......then what? :doho:

The red button is common to all Airbus side sticks - its a lock out button - so if the other guy has a heartattack or something and has a death grip on
the sidestick the PF(R) (remaining ;) ) can press the red button and it disables the other side stick so he can fly the aircraft. The button that changes
views is about two inches below your chin ;-)
