Kinesis FS30A Savant Elite Programmable Triple Action USB Foot Switch

Kinesis FS30A Savant Elite Triple Action Foot Switch

Description of Kinesis FS30A:

Versatile and comfortable - activate mouse clicks and keyboard actions. The Savant Elite family of programmable USB foot switches are available in single, dual, and triple foot switch configurations. Connects to virtually any computer with an available USB port.

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 maximize 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 a optional fourth pedal or hand trigger.

Kinesis FS30A Savant Elite Triple Action Foot 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). 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.

• 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 will support even the most demanding of tasks.

Kinesis Savant Elite Triple Action Foot Switch Compatibility:

• Windows
  · Available USB port. Uses generic drivers provided by the operating system (Windows 98, 98SE, ME, 2000, XP, Vista & 7).
  · Compatible with Windows 98, 98SE, ME, 2000, XP, Vista & 7.
  · Re-programming driver available on the Support Downloads section of our web site for Windows 98, 98se, ME, 2000, XP, Vista & 7. Driver not compatible with 64 bit versions of XP, Vista and 7. A CDROM is available upon request for a minimal charge.
  · Only Windows 2000, XP, Vista & 7 offer full functionality of mouse clicks

• Macintosh
  · Requires available USB port. Uses generic drivers provided by the operating system (OS 8.6 - 10.X)
  · Only OS X offers full functionality of left and right mouse clicks. Middle mouse button not supported on Macintosh without using a third party driver such as that found at www.usboverdrive.com.
  · Note: 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 footswitch 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 pre-programmed into the footswitch. (Footswitch can only be programmed on a Windows PC).

• Linux, Sun and other Non Windows Platforms
  · Requires available USB port. Uses generic drivers provided by the operating system. Due to the heterogeneity in these platforms, we cannot guarantee compatibility with these systems. However, if your system can use any USB mouse and keyboard, it will probably work with a Savant or Savant Elite foot switch.
  · Re-programming drivers are not available for these systems. The user is advised to re-program the foot switch on a Windows-based PC system.
  · Mouse click actions may not be supported on these systems. However, based on our limited experience with these platforms we have yet to encounter any incompatibility issues.
