Savant Elite Foot Switches
Let your feet do the work and reduce strain on your fingers and hands.
Get more work done and feel better than before. A Savant Elite programmable foot switch can do this for you by offloading work from an overused finger or hand. Create macros for repeated tasks, activate mouse clicks, or trigger any key action or modifier such as "Shift" or "Tab".
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!

· Because these are low-speed USB devices, extension cables can be often used without sacrificing data integrity.Compatibility
Windows
· Requires available USB port, plug and play compatible with most systems having USB ports. Uses generic drivers provided by the operating system (Windows 98, 98SE, ME, 2000 & XP).
· Windows 98, 98SE, ME, 2000 & XP.
· Re-programming driver available on the Support section of our web site for Windows 98, 98se, ME, 2000 and XP. A CDROM is available upon request for a minimal charge.
· Only Windows 2000 & XP 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.
