Three pedals designed for instant momentary activation of a computer command such as a mouse click or hot key 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 with all the features of this pedal but pre-programed 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 .
