The Savant Elite2 family of programmable USB devices is available in configurations supporting up to four switches. These switches can be used to reduce the strain on the fingers by offloading repetitive actions such as mouse clicks or keyboard shortcuts to alternate means (either one or both feet, non-dominant hands, etc.). Programmed to function as modifier keys (such as Shift, Ctrl, or Alt) the switches can also help to maximize productivity by allowing the individual to continue typing without interruption and to access the modifiers near-simultaneously with the feet.

The Savant Elite2 Control Module from Kinesis Corporation is a programmable interface that can accept input from foot pedals, assistive switches, or hand triggers. It is ideal for situations where there may be a need to have multiple switches spread over an area or where there is a desire for the smallest possible pedal footprint beneath a workstation. The 9.6 foot long USB cable also permits the control module to be positioned at a distance from the computer.

Two models of the Savant Elite2 Control Module are available. One features 2 input jacks for attaching the external switches and is pre-programmed to perform left and right mouse clicks. The second model is equipped to accept up to 4 switches and/or pedals and is pre-programmed to perform the left and right clicks as well as Backspace and a "Thank you," macro. Of course, these can easily be reprogrammed to any specific actions.

The Savant Elite2 Control Module also has driverless programming for a wide range of operating systems, including Windows, Mac OS X, Android, Linux, or Chrome. Modules come preloaded with Windows and MAC versions of the SmartSet App, a visual programming interface to facilitate quick and simple programming in either of these environments. A simple text editor can be used to program for other alternative operating systems.

The Specs switch is the most versatile and durable small switch available. With a 1.375" (3.5 cm) activation surface, this switch is small enough to be worn, but is most often used as a mounted switch. The Specs switch includes three bases: a standard flange base, a space saving flush base and a strap base for mounting around items. 24" (61.0 cm) strap included.

The Single Pedal Accessory for Savant Elite2 is an add-on pedal that must be connected to a programmable (jack-equipped) Savant Elite2 Foot Pedal or to any other programmable control module that can accept a 3.5mm phono plug connector (i.e. the accessory pedal is not programmable, has no control module of its own, and cannot be connected to a computer without an appropriate programmable interface.) When connected, the Single Pedal Accessory can be used to generate any command assigned to the associated jack, such as mouse clicks, combination keyboard shortcuts and multi-key macros. When added to an expandable interface that has available connections an additional pedal provides access to a greater number of commands and functions, and assists in further reducing the load on the hands and fingers. This wired pedal can be positioned up to ten feet away from the control module.

The Single Pedal Accessory for Savant Elite2 has a low-profile housing and is hinged at the front. This permits the operator to rest their foot on the pedal with minimum risk of accidental activation. The pedal also features independent tension adjustment to allow each person to personalize the degree of activation resistance, and threaded inserts and adhesive velcro tabs to secure it in place should that be desired.

Note: The Single Pedal Accessory provides no functionality on its own. Command functionality can only be accomplished by connecting this to a programmable Switch Controller, pre-programmed device, or Switch-activated device.

The Candy Corn Proximity Sensor Switch is designed specifically for those who have minimal movement and/or strength. Unlike other switches which require actual contact or pressure to activate, the Candy Corn switch relies only on the individual being in physical proximity to the switch surface, thus making it much easier for those with motor control issues to use. Exact placement or the hand or finger is not necessary as the Candy Corn Switch will activate if any part of the body comes within 10 millimeters of the switch surface. With both auditory and visual activation indicators this switch will be of benefit to a wide range of individuals.

Compatibility: Candy Corn is not compatible with TrackerPro, battery adapted toys, battery operated scissors, and Paint 'N' Swirl.

X-Keys Orby Switches from PI Engineering offer users a low (100 g) activation force with a clearly audible click for notification of both activation and deactivation. The 2.5" diameter surface activates the switch from any contact location and is large enough to provide a significant target zone without being two large for practical placement. The brightly coloured (Red, Yellow, Blue, and Green) buttons are highly visible and lend themselves to serve as visual cues to aid in identifying the command to be performed.Orby Switches connect to any control module or switch-adapted device that accepts the industry standard 3.5 mm plug. For stability Orby switches feature a non-slip backing or can be secured using the dual threaded brass inserts.

This switch is a smaller version of the Cup Switch. It features a 1.0" activation surface with 8 mm travel distance and requires a 9 oz / 255 grams of force (above average amount) to activate. It includes 5 high contrast stickers (Red/Blue/Yellow/Green/Orange).

The Test-It Switch Tester from Pretorian provides a quick and easy way to test your switches before beginning work with them. This is particularly timesaving when working with multiple switches, switch interfaces, computer equipment and users.

The Track-It Switch Interface from Pretorian is a unique switch interface that allows complete operation of thecursor, and mouse button clicks, using a single, remote switch.

Track-It is designed for users with motor skill difficulties, particularly those whofind conventional access impractical, and has a number of programmable optionsallowing the user to ‘personalise’ the functions for ease of use.

Note: The latest release of iOS13 for Apple portable devices includes support for USB Pointing Devices. This means that virtually all of the Pretorian Mouse Replacement solutions can now be used with iPads and iPhones that have iOS13 or newer. Connection to the portable device requires a "camera adapter cable". Because the mousing device will be powered by the phone or tablet it is preferable to use one with pass-through charging so the portable device can charge while the mousing device is attached and in use.

The X-Keys USB 3 Switch Interface Orby Bundle from PI Engineering is a complete solution for generating up to 3 custom commands, complex macros or long strings of data. Free downloadable software for PC, MAC, and Android operating systems enables users to quickly create and program custom commands and macros to the compact X-Keys USB 3 Switch Interface. The 3 Switch Interface requires software for programming but is self-reliant for operation. This means it can be programmed on one computer and transferred between computers as needed, providing an instant and easily portable customized control solution where needed.

The Orby Bundle includes a 3-way splitter cable as well as three highly visible (Red, Green & Yellow) 2.5" diameter Orby Switches for easily activated input control.

Users who require more than 3 controls may be interested in considering the X-KEYS USB 12 SWITCH INTERFACE which can be used to generate from 1 to 12 commands.

The reliable, durable, colorful single switch, activated by pressing anywhere on the top surface. The Big Buddy is suitable for people who need a large colorful switch. Auditory and tactile feedback.
