Feature details
Using the default mouse buon acons is a
great way to reduce the strain of mousing.
By holding the mouse simply for poinng,
without worrying about clicking, you can
7
substanally reduce the eort and repe-
on required of your mousing hand.
Many users will simply assign a commonly
used keyboard acon to a pedal, such as
Backspace or Tab. However, avoid using
acons that require so much repeon that
you create exhauson and potenal over-
use of your feet and lower legs.
Simple macros are also a great use of the
Savant Elite2. Commonly used commands
for parcular applicaons (e.g. Ctrl-F1).
Frequently-used shied characters (e.g. the
@ symbol using a tradional keyboard) can
also be assigned to a pedal as a simple
macro.
Advanced features
A number of advanced features are availa-
ble, but it is recommended to avoid these
unl you have successfully programmed
standard key acons and simple macros.
- Slow output. If normal programmed output
from the foot switch is too fast for the com-
puter, “slow output” can be selected.
- Inserng “delays” between keystrokes. The
foot switch can be programmed with one or
more 0.5 second delays.
- Separate press/release commands. For
special applicaons, you can send a “press
key” or “release key” only, or you can pro-
gram “press key” acons separately from
“release key” acons.
System requirements
A USB port is required. Device is compable
with but doesn’t require USB 2.0 or USB 3.0.
Savant Elite2 uses generic HID (human inter-
face device) drivers provided by the oper-
ang system. It can be operated and pro-
grammed without any special drivers in
most environments supporng USB devices,
including Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, An-
droid, and Chrome operang systems.
In Play Mode it emulates a generic keyboard
and mouse, in Programming Mode it emu-
lates a generic keyboard and removable
disk. Programming Mode requires generic
OS support for a removable disk and the US
English keyboard driver to be selected. For a
non-Windows OS, a text-eding program or
