Scythe USB Foot Switches

If you are running out of fingers; use your feet! These USB footswitches can be programmed to emulate your choice of keyboard key-presses for easy control of your PC during, for example, musical performances.

Scythe’s USB Foot Switches can be used as an additional input device for the computer. They also provide a more comfortable and convenient way to work. The USB Foot Switches are available in a single, double or triple version and can be freely assigned any key by the supplied software. No drivers are required, just plug in and go.

They also work with Apple Mac computers although you will need access to a PC or the PC ‘Wine’ emulator running on a Mac in order to perform any initial configuration of the foot switch, i.e. to tell it which key(s) to simulate when pressed. Once programmed, the PC environment is no longer needed because the foot switch will present itself to the Mac as being a generic USB keyboard.

Please Note: These foot switches have no hold or repeat function. Only a single key press or combination of key presses can be sent to the PC per press of each pedal.

Please Note: While the actual switches used in these products are silent, the pedals themselves are not so some mechanical noise will be heard as the foot switch is depressed and released. These are the newer Mk.II versions of the foot switches that we are selling - they offer quieter operation due to the friction noise being reduced by rubber, and shorter pedal travel distance for better responsiveness.
