What the Manufacturer says
The Kinesis Savant Elite Dual Action Foot Switch is ideal for user's who only want to activate mouse clicks or want to offload one or two keying tasks; it comes pre-programmed to active right and left mouse clicks. You can reprogram the foot switch to activate any key action, such as shift, tab, enter, backspace and delete. Not sure if you need two or three pedals? No problem, purchase the Dual Unit with the additional input jack allowing you to connect a third pedal or hand trigger at a later date. Other models available are the Triple action foot switch or the Single action foot switch.
The Savant Elite Dual Action Foot Switch can help you get more work done and feel better by relocating your mouse clicking action to your feet. Macros can be set up for generating commonly used phrases or combinations of key actions and modifiers (activate mouse clicks or trigger any key action or modifier such as shift or tab). The Savant Elite has a memory pool of 1200 characters and supports even the most demanding task. The Savant Elite Foot Switch is ideal for keying intensive tasks, such as:

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.
