X-keys XK-3 USB Foot Pedal - Front Hinged
Three pedals for hands free control.
- Buy 10 for $128.20 each and save 5%
Features
- Great for mouse click and drag and drop operations
- Alleviates RSI issues (replaces finger actions)
- USB connection
Holding the center pedal down keeps the mouse button active to allow for drag and drop operations. Clicking with a foot alleviates RSI issues if the operator experiences pain performing mouse click operations with the hand.
Three pedals designed for instant momentary activation of a computer command such as a mouse click or hotkey trigger. Activation requires just slight additional pressure from the toe or ankle. Perfect for mouse clicking or modifier keys with the main pedal. The outside pedals hinged in the rear provide additional functions easily reached to the left or right of the main pedal.
We also offer a Mouse Click Foot Pedal with all the features of this pedal but pre-programmed with mouse click commands for instant plug and play operation.
For functions where continuous activation serves the task (transcription playback for example), we recommend our XK-3 Rear Hinged Pedal.
