There were at least two versions of the Handlink during the running of Quantum Leap. The first version, introduced in the first episode of the series, "Genesis", was flat, was about 1/4 inch thick, seemed made of translucent black plastic, had black data screens, and had a few buttons. The second version, first seen in "The Right Hand of God", is thicker, made fully of black plastic, has more screens or lights, and more bright buttons. It had silver strips at top and bottom and red flashing graph like bars lights near the center.

It had silver strips at top and bottom and red flashing graph like bars lights near the center. The third version, first seen in "The Great Spontini," was bulkier, and made up of several colorful cubes. A frustrated Al once referred to it as a "rotten pile of Gummi Bears." (See note below in "Trivia" about this handlink's first appearance.) The Handlink is carried mostly by Al, since he is the Observer. However, it has been used by Sam in the episode "*The Leap Back", Gooshie in the episode, "*Killin' Time", and Edward St John V when Al's fate changed temporarily in the episode "A Leap For Lisa". Despite being a sophisticated piece of future technology, the Handlink rarely worked properly unless it was jostled or struck by Al. When it was struck, it frequently made a sound similar to a cry of distress. Evil Hologram Zoe also carried a handlink, although hers was far slimmer and more compact than Al's, possibly a shout-out to "girl power" over the clunky, masculine "Al-Link."
