The parameters are identical to how you add a input via “Project Setting > Cluster Input”. Input entry added via this method only valid for the lifetime of the application session. The added entry will not persist like those you added via the “Project Setting > Cluster Input”.

```csharp
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour
{
    void AddNewClusterInputEntry()
    {
        // Add a new entry named "new_button_1". Which is a mouse connected to VRPN at localhost.
        ClusterInput.AddInput("new_button_1", "mouse_0", "localhost", 0, ClusterInputType.Button);
    }
}
```
