Kinesis FP30A Savant Elite2 Triple Pedal
Description
A Savant Elite2 (SE2) foot pedal is an excellent ergonomic enhancer to
reduce hand and arm strain and repetition from mouse clicks and awkward key
combinations. The triple foot pedal is the most versatile member of the SE2
family. Factory programming provides mouse click actions, including a double
click on the middle pedal. The new driverless programming makes it quick and
easy to change the pedal to perform keyboard actions and
productivity-enhancing macros.
SmartSet driverless programming technology - The SE2 features Kinesis’
SmartSet technology which provides driverless programming of the SE2 device.
Programming the SE2 can be accomplished in one of two ways: 1) utilizing the
SE2 SmartSet App; or 2) using any text editor to type a new pedal action and
saving to the virtual disk drive. No drivers are required, whether you are
using Windows, Mac OS X, Android, Linux, or Chrome.
Programming using the SE2 SmartSet App for Windows & Mac - The simplest and
easiest means of programming the SE2 is by using the SE2 SmartSet App. The
SE2 SmartSet App is a graphical user interface that allows you to easily
assign any key action, macro or special action such as a double left mouse
click to a foot pedal or jack. Available in both Windows and Mac versions,
the SE2 SmartSet App comes pre-loaded on all new SE2 devices or can be
downloaded from the Savant Elite2 Resources Page section of our website.
Programming with a Text Editor (Non Windows & Mac OS’s) - For all other operating systems the SE2 is programmed by editing the pedals.txt file located on the virtual removable disk drive named KINESIS FP. The SE2’s unique driverless all-platform programmability is based on a virtual removable disk. In the KINESIS FP drive resides a tiny simple-text file (pedals.txt) which defines the actions of up to 3 pedals and 4 input jacks covering all the various configurations of SE2 devices. Virtually any text editing program can be used to edit the pedal/jack assignments and then re-save the file as “plain text” or “simple text.” Backup files can be stored with different names and in different locations. Only the file named “pedals.txt” located in the “active” folder in the KINESIS FP drive is used to assign the actions.

Compatible operating systems |
Savant Elite2 uses generic HID (human interface device) drivers provided by the operating system. It can be operated and programmed without any special drivers in most environments supporting USB devices, including the following operating systems with an available USB port

NOTE |
|
|
Macintosh OS X notes |
OS X doesn’t support middle mouse button without using a third party driver such as that found at www.usboverdrive.com. Also, modifier actions from one USB device cannot modify the input of a second USB device due to limitations designed into the Apple operating system. |
|
Example |
Shift, Control, Command, or Option keystrokes programmed into the foot pedal cannot modify the input of a separate USB keyboard or mouse. However, a key sequence like ‘Cmd-W’ or ‘Cmd-Shift-left arrow’ will work on a Macintosh if the entire sequence of keystrokes has been programmed into the foot pedal. |

I use photoshop a lot and I bought the pedals to save a few thousand clicks on my wrists. Works great but I have to take my shoes off to really get at the individual pedals, especially the middle one.
