Product Summary |
---|
The Advantage360 SmartSet Foot Pedal is a dedicated accessory for Advantage 360 Contoured Keyboard models equipped with the SmartSet App (see note below). It plugs directly into the left module and once the linked function is assigned it operates as a extension of the keyboard. Using the SmartSet programming functions typists can assign a single action to be activated with a simple pedal press.
Common applications of this can include any of the following. - Access any of the secondary layers in lieu of using the Keypad or Fn key
- Press-and-hold modifiers (e.g., Shift, Ctrl, Alt)
- Heavily used keys like Space, Tab, & Enter
- Harder to reach keys like Escape or F-Keys
- Single or Double mouse-click
- Macros
The Advantage360 SmartSet Foot Pedal is constructed of high-strength glass-reinforced ABS plastic for durability. The low-profile housing is hinged at the front to permit typists to rest their foot on the pedal with minimum risk of accidental activation. The pedal also features independent tension adjustment to allow each person to personalize the degree of activation resistance.
Note: The Advantage360 SmartSet Foot Pedal provides no functionality on its own. Programming and connection can only be done on the Advantage360 Contoured Keyboards that include the SmartSet App. The pedal is not compatible with the Advantage360 PRO model. |
Ergonomic Benefits |
---|
Can Reduce Strain on Fingers - The highly repetitive actions associated with mouse clicking can greatly increase finger fatigue and the risk of developing joint pain, especially for those who use non-ergonomic mice. A foot pedal can address these concerns by transferring mouse-clicking actions from the fingers to the foot.
Reduces Awkward Reaching - Hands and fingers can be overstressed by constantly performing awkward combination keystrokes or by straining to reach a key on the outer edges of the keyboard. By programming the Advantage360 SmartSet Foot Pedal to perform the same function with a single press of the pedal, it is possible to give fingers and hands a rest while at the same time potentially increasing productivity.

Usage Tips |
---|
- Position the Foot Pedal for Your Comfort - The 10' cord on the Advantage360 SmartSet Foot Pedal offers great freedom when setting up a workstation layout. Take advantage of this feature to ensure that the pedal is within easy range of your foot and that no awkward stretching or reaching is required.
- Adjust The Activation Sensitivity - The pedal has a sensitivity adjustment for fine tuning the tension. Ensure that there is a high enough resistance to avoid accidentally activating the pedal. Otherwise, you will find yourself trying to "hold" your foot above the pedal which could stress the muscles of the foot and at the front of your lower leg.
- Program the Foot Pedal to Your Needs - Take a few minutes to determine the specific requirements of your work and program the desired commands using the SmartSet APP on your Advantage360 Contoured Keyboard.
- Work From a Seated Position - Footswitches generally work best when you are seated. Repeatedly activating a footswitch while standing can be uncomfortable since this position requires that the muscles of the lower leg remain in a state of constant tension in order to avoid accidental activation (i.e. activation of the switch will occur when the muscles are permitted to relax and allow the foot to return to a natural flat position).
