The Savant Elite2 family of programmable USB devices is available in configurations supporting up to four switches. These switches can be used to reduce the strain on the fingers by offloading repetitive actions such as mouse clicks or keyboard shortcuts to alternate means (either one or both feet, non-dominant hands, etc.). Programmed to function as modifier keys (such as Shift, Ctrl, or Alt) the switches can also help to maximize productivity by allowing the individual to continue typing without interruption and to access the modifiers near-simultaneously with the feet.

The Savant Elite2 Control Module from Kinesis Corporation is a programmable interface that can accept input from foot pedals, assistive switches, or hand triggers. It is ideal for situations where there may be a need to have multiple switches spread over an area or where there is a desire for the smallest possible pedal footprint beneath a workstation. The 9.6 foot long USB cable also permits the control module to be positioned at a distance from the computer.

Two models of the Savant Elite2 Control Module are available. One features 2 input jacks for attaching the external switches and is pre-programmed to perform left and right mouse clicks. The second model is equipped to accept up to 4 switches and/or pedals and is pre-programmed to perform the left and right clicks as well as Backspace and a "Thank you," macro. Of course, these can easily be reprogrammed to any specific actions.

The Savant Elite2 Control Module also has driverless programming for a wide range of operating systems, including Windows, Mac OS X, Android, Linux, or Chrome. Modules come preloaded with Windows and MAC versions of the SmartSet App, a visual programming interface to facilitate quick and simple programming in either of these environments. A simple text editor can be used to program for other alternative operating systems.

A Savant USB Foot Switch is factory programmed to perform mouse clicks. The compact design features a wide center pedal and two smaller outer pedals. The large center pedal has minimal travel for your most heavily used key action and is factory programmed to perform the regular "left button" mouse click. The outer "piano-key" pedals offer two additional actions (right click and scrolling) without having to search for a second and third footswitch on the floor. Adjustment screws allow fine-tuning of pedal travel.

NOTE: Custom programming these pedals requires access to a PC running 32 bit versions of Windows XP, VISTA, or 7.

This product is a complete hands-free mousing replacement offering cursor control, regular clicks and additional programmable actions. 'Program Specific' commands can be set by utilizing the downloadable Footmouse Assistant Software.

The unit works plug and play out of the box with a vertical scroll wheel (orange wheel, lower left), left click (red button, lower centre), double left click (red button, lower right), right click (red button, upper right) and 2 programmable buttons (yellow, upper centre and left) which can all be assigned specific commands using the Footmouse Assistant Software. The user can also make all 5 buttons programmable by toggling a yellow 'enable programming button' on the side of the unit. The buttons are 1.5" in diameter and have a crisp tactile mechanical switch rated at 500 grams.

Cursor movement is achieved by sliding your foot into the 'slipper' which has an 800 DPI optical sensor on the underside, and moving the slipper around on an oversized 'footmouse' pad which is 15.5" wide and 11" deep. The 'slipper' is 4.25" wide by 7" long and has an adjustable velcro strap to ensure any size foot is accommodated.

This product allows you to shift the effort of mousing on your computer from your hands to your feet as a complement to traditional mousing solutions.

NOTE: It is not recommended to use this device as a primary mousing device but only for occasional mousing.

NOTE: On some computers, there is an issue where the Footime unit may at times go to 'sleep' and then not wake up until you unplug and re-plug the device. Often plugging in the unit through a hub will alleviate this issue, but not always. The manufacturer is aware of the issue and is working on a fix of this for the next generation of the product, but there will be no 'fix' for the current generation. Unfortunately we are not able to identify the exact source of this problem and as such cannot advise whether you may experience this issue, however as it always is resolved by unplugging the device and plugging it in again, it isn't a serious issue (although it is inconvenient).
