I notice the A350 doesn't have the distinctive Airbus trim wheels

What is the caution area for on the bottom?

It is the L/G GRVTY EXTN switch which in an emergency can be used by the crew to manually extend the landing gear using a crank.

Perry sure it is just a button like on a330s as well. But a320 has a crank.

Are the two computer mouse like protrusions on either side of the throttles part of the input for the navigation system? I have not seen them in any other cockpit.

That's the KCCU - Keyboard Cursor Control Unit, it's demonstrated in a Airclips Lufthansa A350 video here https://youtu.be/jk-WClye4bw?feature=shared&t=4641 (1:17:21, full cockpit tour begins 1:14:46)

Yes it's the control cursor (KCCU) for the navigation display, MFD, and OIS

Why is the standby AI down there? Would it be nicer to have it on the glareshield? I like how Gulfstreams does it: https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcS2fldBzRFJAhhLn6-oAmhdiROiVvaJAHnpsQ&usqp=CAU

Why don't they have just one big button, like in a BMW?
