Savant Elite Triple Action USB Foot Switch
by Kinesis Corporation
Hands-free mouse clicking, the steps to productivity and comfort!
For users who require the utmost in productivity and comfort, the Savant Elite Triple Action Foot Switch is the answer. While factory programmed for mouse button emulation, it can be easily reprogrammed on a Windows PC to perform any keyboard action or key combination.
Through extensive user testing, proper spacing and orientation of each pedal was determined to maximise comfort and productivity. Furthermore, the outer pedals may be adjusted inward to accommodate smaller feet.
For the ultimate in flexibility, the mini-phono input jack model supports an optional fourth pedal or hand trigger such as an external switch!
Features
- Activate Mouse Clicks
All Savant Elite foot switches come pre-programmed to activate right and left mouse clicks, plus a middle mouse button action where a third pedal or input is present. For many users the pain associated with mousing is from the action of clicking, not from moving the mouse. The Savant Elite resolves this problem by relocating the clicking action to the user’s feet. - Program Any Key Action
Reprogram the foot switch to activate any key action(s) (Reprogramming software available for Windows only). Perfect for offloading work from an overused finger or hand. Some of the more commonly used key actions are Shift, Tab, Enter, Backspace and Delete.Note: IMPORTANT! To avoid damaging your foot switch, you must read the User’s Manual before installing the programming software/driver. It is especially important to install “play mode” first (which is automatic in Windows 2000/XP), then disconnect the foot switch before installing the programming software.
- Create Macros
Macros are a great productivity tool for generating commonly used phrases, or combinations of key actions and modifiers. With a memory pool of 1200 characters per device the Savant Elite foot switch will support even the most demanding of tasks.
