What the Manufacturer says
The Kinesis Savant Elite single action foot switch & control module is ideal for situations where you want the smallest possible pedal or where you need the pedal located away from the control unit. The Elite single action foot switch comes pre-programmed for left click but it is easy to program the foot switch to your desired action. Just download the software to a PC and update your foot switch to either keyboard actions, macros, or to re-assign mouse button actions. The control module has a 9.5 foot long USB cable connecting to the computer and the foot switch has its own 10 foot cable connecting to the control module with a mini-phono plug.
The Savant Elite Control Module has two input jacks and is bundled with one single foot pedal; the ultimate space saver as well as being cost effective. The control module will work with any combination of pedals or hand triggers. Other models available are the Dual action foot switch or the Triple action foot switch.

Windows Compatibility
- Requires available USB port, plug and play compatible with most systems having USB ports.
- Uses generic drivers provided by the operating system with Windows 98, 98SE, ME, 2000, XP & Vista
- Re-programming driver available on the Support section of our web site for Windows 98, 98SE, ME, 2000 and XP
- For Vista users foot switch must be re-programmed in either 2000, XP or factory pre-programmed. A CD ROM is available upon request for a minimal charge.
- Full functionality of mouse clicks with Windows 2000, XP & Vista
Mac Compatibility
- 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. A third party driver must be installed for middle mouse button (may be 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 Mac 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 Mac 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. (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.
