A compact, low profile footprint that accepts up to three wired switches or pedals when paired with our TRRS 3 Way Splitter Cable or 2 Way Splitter Cable. Easily convert any switch closure to a keyboard, multimedia, or mouse command.
Features
Any switch can trigger an action on your computer. Any keyboard shortcut your software uses can have a designated switch (start, stop, next, save...). Switches are easily set up to launch applications, open files, or type short lines of text like names, addresses, and account numbers.
