A Savant Elite2 foot pedal is an excellent ergonomic enhancer to reduce hand and arm strain and repetition from mouse clicks and awkward key combinations. The 2-jack control module bundled with a single pedal is ideal for situations where you want the smallest possible pedal, or where you need the pedal away from the control module. The control module has a 9 foot 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. Factory programming provides left and right mouse click actions. It’s ideal for user’s who want to activate mouse clicks or offload one or two keying tasks. The new driverless programming makes it quick and easy to change the pedal to perform keyboard actions and productivity-enhancing macros. Driverless programming Programming the Savant Elite2 can be as easy as copying a small text file onto the virtual disk created in Programming Mode. Or use any text editor to type a new pedal action. Sample files for many applications and uses are available from kinesis.com. No drivers are required, whether you are using Windows, Mac OS X, Android, Linux, or Chrome. Technology behind the driverless programming The Savant Elite2’s unique driverless all-platform programmability is based on the transient creation of a virtual removable disk in programming mode. On that disk resides a tiny simple-text file which defines the actions of up to 3 pedals and 4 input jacks covering all the various configurations of Savant Elite2 devices. Virtually any text editing program can be used to edit the pedal/jack assignments and then re-save the file as “plain text” or “simple text.” Backup files can be stored with different names and in different locations. Only the file named “pedals.txt” located in the “active” folder on the Savant Elite2’s virtual disk drive is used to assign the actions. Features Summary for the Savant Elite2 Control Module & Pedal - Activate mouse clicks. Two jacks factory configured to perform mouse button actions (Jack 2 (Front) = left button and Jack 1 (Rear) = right button). - Program any key action and/or macro. Re-programmable on any computer or tablet with a USB port to perform keyboard actions, macros, or to re-assign mouse button action. - Recessed programming switch accessible from underside of control module. Programming Mode also accessible by holding a pedal briefly while connecting USB cable to open virtual removable disk. - Pedal is front-hinged and rounded for easy triggering, made from black, glass-reinforced nylon. - Pedal has adjustable activation force. - External green and red status LEDs.

"As the market leader in computer ergonomics, Kinesis has been designing and building premium-grade ergonomic keyboards for more than 25 years. The new Advantage2 features our patented Contoured keyboard design and low-force mechanical keyswitches to address the major risk factors associated with keyboarding for maximum comfort. With the all-new SmartSet Programming Engine, Advantage2 features powerful programming tools designed to let you customize the keyboard to boost your productivity. The Advantage2 features low-force Cherry MX Brown tactile mechanical keyswitches, the rubber function keys (found on the original Advantage) have been replaced with Cherry ML low-force, tactile mechanical keyswitches, and our signature home row keys are in the new Kinesis Blue. Ergonomic Features Concave keywells The keywells are scooped into a concave shape to reduce hand and finger extension. Hands rest in a natural, relaxed position, with the fingers curled down to the keys. Keycap heights are varied to match the different lengths of your fingers. The result is less muscle tension and a shorter reach for keys which increases efficiency and reduces fatigue. Separate keywells for each hand Separating the keywells positions the arms at shoulder-width to keep wrists straight and perpendicular to the home row. Typing with straight wrists is essential in avoiding injuries because it reduces abduction and ulnar deviation which can lead to pain and injury. Separate thumb keys The thumb keypad includes often used keys such as Enter, Space, Backspace, Delete and the combination keys, Control and Alt on the PC (Command and Option on the Macintosh). This redistributes the workload away from your relatively weaker and overused little fingers to stronger thumbs as well eliminating extension for these more distant keys. 20-degrees of tenting The two keywells are “tented” at an optimal 20 degree angle moderately raising the thumb side of the hand Tenting puts you in a more neutral, “handshake” posture and reduces the stresses caused by forearm pronation and static muscle tension. Vertical key layout The keys are arranged in vertical columns (“orthogonally”) to better reflect the natural motion of your fingers. The staggered keys found on conventional keyboards are just an artifact of the original typewriter design and only serve to slow you down. Vertical keys reduce awkward extension and travel, and they also increase speed, accuracy, and overall comfort. Palm supports The integrated palm supports reduce stressful bending of the wrists (extension) and provide a convenient place to rest your hands when you are not actively typing. Self-adhesive, cushioned palm pads (included) can be attached for maximum comfort. Cherry MX (Brown) Low-force, tactile keyswitches The Advantage2 (KB600 model) utilizes the Cherry MX low-force tactile switch (brown stem). It is a semi-custom low force tactile design created in 1992 to Kinesis’ specifications. “Tactility” is a slightly elevated force around the midpoint of the stroke of the key which lets you know the switch is about to be activated. A tactile response is preferred by many ergonomists, because it cues yourfingers that activation is about to occur and is thought to reduce the likelihood or incidence or “bottoming out” the switch with a hard impact. The peak (tactile) force is
