Foot Pedal Solutions

Software engineers, more than professionals in many other fields, are tasked with spending extensive hours at a keyboard, swiftly typing intricate lines of code with a high level of precision. Additionally, coding involves a notable degree of repetition.

These circumstances highlight the effectiveness of foot pedals as valuable productivity enhancers for software engineers. Foot pedals offer the capability to be programmed for executing intricate macros, substituting awkward key combinations, or facilitating seamless application switching.

“Using a foot pedal with your keyboard feels impossibly geeky at first. Until you use it for a while, and then you start wondering why you didn’t recruit your feet for help years ago. It’s not like they had anything better to do all this time. Sewing machines have foot pedals. Cars have foot pedals. Airplanes have rudder pedals. Why not computers?”

Efficient Dental Practice Workflow:

Dentists and their assistants skillfully utilize their feet for hands-free control of dental equipment, ensuring clean and unoccupied hands for dental procedures. A USB foot pedal directly connected to the exam room computer empowers hygienists to perform various tasks seamlessly, from data entry to navigating x-rays. This not only saves time but also enhances production efficiency, reduces cross-contamination, and elevates patient care.

I have been using Kinesis Savant Elite2 foot pedals for intraoral camera operation ever since my Dexis tech recommended them. My camera has a capture button but I prefer to use a foot pedal to avoid shaky, out-of-focus pictures.”
